An incubator full of call duck, Indian runner duck and White appleyard eggs has been quietly buzzing away in our house. The incubation period for duck eggs is 28 days so we were expecting hatching to commence on monday – 3 days time but we have some early arrivals – 2 call ducks so far and hopefully some more on the way today – such time wasters – we love watching them in the incubator (now on the table as Jess takes more than a passing interest in the whole event!)
If the Indian runner ducks hatch then we are going to have an eventual problem – they won’t fit through the doors of any of our current collection of chicken houses!
