good luck tamara, 15 out of 16 ducks hatched and are doing very well. i think they hatched between day 27 and day 28...i say between because i started them in the middle of a day. haha

Wonderful hatch rate, Hunter. I read about poor hatch
rates of shipped eggs, then think about my 6 of 7
chicks I hatched that were home grown, and it's much
more rewarding.
