WOW! How exciting! You're going to have so much fun with them :) Congratulations!! PLEASE let me know how they do!

Are you keeping all of them?

Just a quick note to let you know something I didn't until I read it recently on one of the hatchery sites. Your ducklings do not have as much oil in their down as they will when they fledge out. So don't let them swim too long, or else they will lose bouyancy and drown.

Sorry to get back so late on this gennym! They're all doing great! Absolutely adorable...and Yes,I'm keeping them all..I feel like they're my own babies.
And thank you for the tip mokevinb...I haven't let them into water except a little bowl here and there..but I'm keeping them inside with me till it warms up outside and they're bigger.
They';re in a playpen in my living room, I must say they're a real chore to keep clean! But we're enjoying them immensley. Is it true they carry salmonella? I haven't been handeling them just in case..I have a 1 year old boy so I must be careful.
chow for now....

I'm so happy for you :)

I've never caught anything from my ducks that I've had-when our babies hatched I handled them from Day 1 and never got any diseases. I have even handled wild baby ducks ad never gotten sick.. But, it's good you're being safe, but I don't think it's anything to worry about...

Have you given them names yet!?!? :)

If you keep their area clean and don't let your baby lick them, wash your hands you will be fine.

Thanks ,thats good to hear! I called them Darlin' Darlo and dumpling...the other 2 are gone to my inlaws..don't know what they'll name them yet. But I had called them doddle and delay because they were so late in hatching! hahaha!

LOL!! Cool! I bet they're adorable!
