Update on broody duck hens

Remember Scarletts Hidden Duck Nest
Well acouple days after we found her nest I noticed Lu Lu was broody in her nest box in the chicken coop. So this mornin I took 7 eggs out of Scarletts nest & put them under Lu Lu... everyones happy now & we should see ducklings around May 11.

Update on my other hatches: I've got 10 eggs from Oklahoma due to hatch around April 18. Then 4 silkie eggs from Texas due to hatch around April 26 (these are under my broody bantam, the duck egg I had under her wasn't fertile). Then I've got a Kentucky friend puttin some of her silkie eggs in her bator for me and one of my cousins this Sunday, they will be due to hatch around May 8. Gonna have ducklings & chickies everywhere!!! I sold 7 hens & 10 of my 3 week old chicks from my March hatch over the weekend.

Scarlett off her nest this mornin

Goin back to her hidden nest :)

Hidden Duck Nest!!!

Heres Keyarra with 2 of our ducks & remember when I started gettin duck eggs (1st Duck Egg) on March 27 and then our 2nd Duck Egg & so far I've gotten 11 duck eggs in my chicken coop from my duck hen LuLu in her nestbox so Scarlett (duck hen above) started layin before her in her hidden nest... which we FINALLY found last night!!!

Scarlett sittin on her hidden nest under our shed.
Yesterday (April 7) was the 1st day she sat on it almost all day, so I'm guessin today makes day one? Gotta go look this up.

Nice & fuffy

She has 16 beautiful duck eggs in her hidden nest

So somewhere around May 12 we might see some ducklings?!?!?

Ducks & new duck pool pond

Went into town today & seen that they have the blue kiddie pools out so I got a new bigger for ducks to play in this year...

Hummm... They're not shy, lol

Heres the old duck pool pond. Honey put a drain in it for me... it got broke over winter so he has to re-caulk it. I love that I dont have to pail out water, just turn the drain thing & the water flows out. Now I do have to pick out the gunk (feathers & stuff) from the drain as the water is goin out... Ducks are so messy! But so much fun to have around.

This is where the duck pool pond sits when in use

Just turn that thing & the water flows out

The new bigger duck pool pond. I couldnt wait for honey to put a drain in it, had to fill it up as soon as I got back home... he'll put a drain in it this summer.

They just stopped by for a nice cool drink

I just love when the sky looks like this. The clouds are so pretty

Hatchin Eggs...

Yay... more chickies to add to our lil farm.
I really hope all 23 hatch :)

These came in last Monday & are in the bator

These arrived today & they're goin in the bator in the mornin
