Day 10: Only 23 eggs look healthy and are definitely alive . 6 others look iffy, of those a few are moving but don’t look good.

I forgot to mention temperature: I’ve been checking the temp and humidity with both a Govee and a reptile thermometer. I didn’t have room for the Govee at first and just put it in now and then to check, but now I’m leaving it in full time. Today the Govee has been showing as low as 98.9 -99...

Hi, I’m doing my 2nd duck incubation in my incubator and my first one went very well, but this one is starting to look like it will be really bad. I started with 42 eggs. It’s now day 9, and 11 have died. Some died in the first 4 days and developed blood rings. Others had died by day 7, and a...

If I understand correctly, a blonde buff has 2 blue dilution genes. A regular buff has 1, and a brown buff has 0. I’m wondering if my 2 babies are blonde because they’re so pale

Your buffs are so pretty! Are they blonde buffs or regular buffs?

I thought Duck 1 was too light colored to be khaki? I’ll try to get a better picture of her

Thanks for the info! I don’t know much about pastels, but that would mean they have both blue dilute genes, right? I was kind of thinking that might be the case because they’re a lot lighter colored than any of my others. (The 2 5 week olds are named Goldie and Banana 😂). Supposedly my ducks...

Do these 3 ducks also look like buffs? I bought them all from the same person as the adult duck I posted earlier and it’s likely they are sisters. The duck in the 2nd & 3rd picture has a darker colored head, and the duck in the foreground has more prominent eye stripes, so I’m not sure if they...

I’ve never had buff colored ducks before

Thanks! It’s so fun to see the colors develop

Thank you! I think they are so pretty 😍

Thank you! That is great news!!

Hi! I have some beautiful ducks and ducklings and I’m not sure what color they are, but I was looking at pictures online and wondering if they might be Buff colored. They are mixed breed (I know they aren’t purebred Buff ducks). Here is one of my adult ducks. When she hatched she was a solid...

She’s 5 weeks and 2 days old. I noticed today that her voice is changing a bit and I’d optimistically say it sounded a bit quackish! But I’ll keep Speck whether she’s a boy or girl. I’m making a bachelor flock for my extra males

I don’t actually know Speck’s gender yet😅 Originally I thought she looked like a girl but I don’t know. I was wondering about a hematoma or blood blister. It feels slightly soft. As long as it doesn’t get infected, it should probably go away on its own, right? Haha, yes I bathed Speck’s face...
