Candling Duck Eggs Day 21 Posted by: boombella
Video duration: 104 seconds UPDATE: They both hatched, but only one survived. I took down the videos of Lellow because it hurts too much to watch. We're getting close but darned of I know if Loopy has two good eggs. We think that Egg #1 is good (it shows up 2nd in the vid) She has been on the nest for 21 days. One week to go! Hang in there Loopy! Related: 21, candled, candling, days, duck, eggs, loopy Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

I had to raise two ducklings this summer for the first time and they are a lot more work than I thought it would be. Granted, one of mine, I had to check up on every so often due to his head being pecked by a chicken but it was worth it. Now they both will allow us to hold them and we hand feed them so that they wont randomly decide to hate people!!! I love my ducks!!!

u filmed day 1 on my birthday. i luv ducks =)
By: hitntr. on 17 Aug 08, 03:59:04
I don't know all duck breeds but I doubt you could get a duckling that doesn't make a lot of noise. The only thing that I found with ducklings is they are very messy (I mean poop and food everywhere)and they cheap like crazy when you step out of the room for even a few minutes. But if you can deal with that then go for it, I hope to never have to raise ducks again, I only did it cuz they were abandoned.
By: wheelnutt. on 01 Aug 08, 09:46:34
Lovely film. Ive been thinking about getting a couple of ducks but not sure what the neighbours would think of the noise. Do you know of any other small ducks which are less noisy than calls but still have an amusing disposition? Thanks.
By: tottydude. on 29 Jun 08, 01:09:16
I have the same baby ducks just three days old, its nice to see how they will grow up.
By: boombella. on 27 Jun 08, 01:03:07
We bought some and have raised their babies every year. It takes a little work to keep ducks but they are great pets. you want to have a safe house for them.
By: IndiraLalchandani2. on 27 Jun 08, 00:59:40
i so want a baby duck. but my dad said no. :( they are soooo cute. did they just like appear in your yard one day, or did you buy them??????
By: boombella. on 21 Jun 08, 18:49:40
Thanks for your kind comments. I've been swamped lately but will probably post a little more video of this year's baby, Junebug. She's starting to feather but still very 'baby' You can see Wilma again in the 'What Makes You Happy' video. I've got her very tame with the use of those peas!
By: boombella. on 18 Jun 08, 06:50:36
The white duck, Loopy is the only one of the bunch that gets broody. The other hens are only too happy to let her do the work.

America's Choice Pine Bedding. Sold at feed, hay stores. Any pine bedding will do though. Straw also works.

I got the idea from another youtube user and it was a winner. I should have known though because my ducks will devour the pea plants that I try to grow in my garden. I have to protect them.
By: jpcox23. on 15 May 08, 16:10:34

We are pretty vigilant while out there. The hawks will come check them out and that's when we herd them back into the run. If I was at one end of the garden and the ducks on the other, I don't think I could keep a hawk from grabbing one. Listen to the crows and bluejays if they live near you. They will sound the alarm more times than not and even chase hawks away. Saw some of the vids, your going to have quite a flock! :)
By: willysjeepparidon. on 01 May 08, 19:21:50
so the hawks wont bother them if your outside ps did you check out my vids of my call ducklings
By: boombella. on 30 Apr 08, 21:44:25
We are working on a solution. Right now, they get supervised outings. They have a 4X12 foot run attached to their house but they want to go out and forage. We would love to put a lid over out whole garden but have not figured out how to do it.
By: willysjeepparidon. on 30 Apr 08, 20:19:02
what do you do to keep hawks away
