great pic i hope its a true aylesbury i was looking at eggs last year for the big pond

but i read its very very hard to get true aylesbury as they have been cross breed so much

[rockchicks]

We had them from 2 different sellers on ebay and the ones from 1 seller are far superior to the others. Although we wouldn't class any of them as the "true" exhibition type aylesbury as these are too small. We probably wouldn't get duck eggs off ebay again because of this.

Something to aim for on a slightly smaller scale

Any news Cleo?

Not that I'm rushing the little uns at all, know they still ahve a couple of days to go :oops:   Mine sometimes rocked a bit of even cheeped once they had internally pipped which can be a couple of days before hatching.

Keeping everything firmly crossed for you

[Cleo]

Not yet Kate,

I'm going to check them again tonight. We are close to pip. All looking good.
Am putting my mind to getting the brooder ready.

I don't want to hurry them either BUT
we can't wait to meet them.

Excitement....had my first tap tap tap today when candling.

How long do duckies take from internal pip to hatch ?

:cheers:

Oh how exciting!

Mine have been really variable. Some I never really noticed much at all and seemed to be out in a few hours, others seemed to go on for days. Will keep my fingers crossed and hopefully babies tomorrow. Try and be patient (Do as I say, not what I do :oops: )
