We are up to 20 ducklings with 3 more nests being set on! I never thought my ducks would hatch this many babies.
The mama of this nest hatched 11 eggs!!! She is just a little thing, so I took 4 of the ducklings and we will raise them in a brooder under a heat lamp. I was concerned that she wouldn’t be able to keep them all warm at night.
My son is having a blast with them.
I helped him set up a cozy little brooder for them. We used some wool for a bed and they enjoy snuggling on it. The fifth duckling is from another nest where he was the only one that hatched. Poor little guy needed some brothers and sisters to hang out with.
It was such a nice day today, we took them outside and they had fun putting everything in their mouth!
The really fun thing is to peep at them and have them follow you!
These are the little guys that hatched out earlier in the week.
Have a good day!
Stories from the Farm 
Ducklings! Aren’t they precious? And to have ducklings and a young son to enjoy them, even more precious. Beautiful photos…
Did a Call Duck hatch them all out?
Yes, all of the ducklings have been hatched by call ducks. They aren’t known for their mothering abilities, so I am thrilled!
Thanks for the fix… They are so adorable! I can hear them from here! 😀
Way too cute…your little guy and the ducklings of course!
Those are adorable!! I put the bug in Aimee’s ear, so we will see if she wants any. 🙂
SOOOO cute! and really great pictures too! I am most jealous of the dandelion though–we have not yet had our first-we have a party planned for when it happens!
I NEED more pictures…….really I do!
These guys are adorable (feathered and human)!
Love to you all.
OMG I can’t handle all this cute in one sitting! I sure hope my girls are able to hatch as many. It will be the first time any of my birds have raised their own chicks and we’re really anxious and excited to see what we end up with. I have 3 Buff Ducks, 3 Blue Swedish and a pair of Cayugas, so we’re going to get all sorts of patterns and colors!
