RE: Incubating My Very First Duck Eggs and Hoping For New Babies

in #farming5 years ago

Thank you VERY much for your long response lol!! We travel a lot (yes we are headed to Australia from Canada, and then hopping on a cruise :) sooo, the girl that looks after our house and used to look after my cat (cat died recently) she is a total animal person and I told her that I would buy her all if she wanted to raise ducks :) Thank you again for your posts! I would have never have known nor tried duck eggs if it wasn't for you ! Now I"m hooked!

Be careful traveling. Here in the US the Coronavirus has everybody on lock down in their homes. A local couple here were quarantined for a month on a cruise ship because someone had it so their trip was ruined.

I'll be making lots of duck posts soon. I've got baby ducks hatching tonight and I'm going to be in duckling euphoria for a while. Depending on how many I get I'll be selling some of them. I hope you get some ducks. I'd time it so that you get them when you won't be traveling so you can handle them a lot as babies. Makes all the difference. My first 3 I handled a lot and they will chill with me and eat from my hand. The other 3 I got sick and couldn't be with them the first several weeks and they are more skittish of more. Won't come too close which is sad.
