LittleNell Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I incubated 11 eggs. Lost one along the way. Found today that 10 out of the 10 eggs had started to crack. I had not expected them now so had not even stopped the cradle turning...3 are out, another 7 I can see bills and feet poking out....so exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Congrats on the eggs. I hope they all get out ok. I have just hatched out some Aylesbury ducklings. They are massive!! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNell Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 All 10 hatched. Some are a little weedier than others but they are lovely fluffy bundles who are already drinking and eating! The 4 goose eggs I had in at the same time have begun wobbling around the incubator so don't think it will be long before they are fighting their way out...

LittleNell Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 A lovely scrum of ducklings! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150194991073394.328339.657633393&l=b51d8bf77b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNell Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Lost one of the ducklings yesterday. Just was not growing or feeding properly at all. Even with some one to one time it was a no go. Other 9 are doing well...and have 2 large goslings hatched as well. One egg stopped growing, and the other was a dead in shell...sad.
