Hi guys, well I found a nest full of duck eggs yesterday afternoon, hiding in the jasmine vine behind my wormfarm. I decided to crank up the bator again and put them in. Just to see how fertile they are.... not that I want cute fluffy ducklings again or anything ;D Im hoping to get a few out of them because I have a couple of people waiting for trios and pairs. I wasnt going to hatch any out until another months or so, but what the heck. Ive got heaps of eggs in the fridge at the moment. Between the ducks and the silkies, Im fine in that department. So anyway, theyre in as of half an hour ago. Cant wait to see what happens Cheers, Wendy

Hi Shea, its about 28 days for most ducks except muscovies, which are 35-37 days. Haha Ray, you could be a great grandad lol Thanks for the well wishes, cheers, Wendy
