Incubating & Hatching Duck Eggs | Cute Indian Runner Ducklings

We are hatching and raising a flock of Indian Runner Ducks for a friend. Most of these will go to live on his free range farm and a couple will stay here with us and join the flock in the garden. Here's how we got on hatching the eggs. The babies are so cute!

Never knew how much I love ducks and wished I had them in my life til I met yours 😍🥰

Amazing how they instinctively know to eat the food straight away. No Mummy duck to teach them.

Such a charming video ! I watched with my little girl, and we were delighted to watch the ducklings hatch 🐣!! I’ve always wanted that experience, so this was amazing ! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Is it possible to keep male runners with females? Will they not pester them all the time? Also what if you don’t want to breed? I’m hoping to get ducks in the future but have so much to learn still, your videos have helped massively thank you ☺️

Oh this was so amazing to watch! They are so cute 🤍

They’re precious! Why didn’t you leave them for the mom to hatch?

I would like to ask you for your hatching recipe. I have an incubator and I will be hatching ducks - first time (Indian runners).
There is a lot written on the net, but I would like to learn firsthand from someone who does it practically.
1. How do the temperature and humidity change after hatching days?
2. How often and for how long are the eggs turned in the incubator?
3. How often and for how long they are taken out and moisturized.

Thank you and best regards

What a lovely video 🙂🙂.
I’m hatching Indian Runner duck eggs this very moment🙂. In the incubator. No pipping yet, although there is still movement inside the egg 😲. It’s the 27th day. I’ve heard the hatching can take longer than 28 days tho😟.

Do you know why two didn’t hatch? I’m just curious. They’re absolutely adorable 🥰

[moongypsyguerrero]

Should put them in a brooder after they fluff up in the incubator

Can you tell me which day was the lockdown date please? 24? 25?
