STOP!!! Read this first
Before you jump in and order a bunch of duck eggs to hatch for yourself or
your classroom, you need to be aware that domestic ducks, like the ones
typically hatched are NOT the same as wild ducks. Dumping ANY
duck, domestic or wild that has lived in the care of humans is an act of cruelty.
Only hatch what you intend to care for. Finding homes for ducks is
almost impossible and remember, ducks have a lifespan
of 10-15 years.
Read my article
"Are you Ready for a Duck?" before you
attempt to hatch any eggs.
After you've read my article and are prepared to hatch some ducklings...
Here is a list of my favorite links to duck hatching information and where
to find duck eggs. I've added a page for people who have ducks that are
nesting and need some quick advice.
Incubate, Candle and Hatch (oh my!)
Mink Hollow Farm has a nicely written
webpage covering everything from hatching, candling and building a brooder to
caring for your adorable ducklings when they arrive.
Handy Hints for Raising Ducklings
For anyone incubating and hatching eggs themselves
this is a must see webpage. It starts off with excellent hints for properly
incubating the eggs. Then, for a real treat, visit
Diary of a Duckling,
which chronicles the first 100 days of a duckling's life in vivid detail. |
Hatching Duck Eggs
Nice informational website includes how
to hatch your own ducklings using an incubator.
Looking for eggs to hatch? Here's a couple of places that sell them, check with them
for instructions and details.
California Hatchery
sells eggs as well as live ducks anywhere in the US and has information about duck care on their "Duck News" page. I like their "Safe Arrival Guarantee".
Murray McMurray Hatchery
ships in the US and other countries. Great informational website.
Duck Eggs.com
sells eggs for
eating or hatching.
Pinewood Poultry Farm
Limited Poultry has resources including chatrooms for primarily chicken owners, but also includes ducks, turkeys and other fowl.
Is your own duck nesting and you need some advice?
Here's a simple, practical
nesting advice page based on my own experience and research.
Live Ducks does not have information on wild duck nesting habits, please
check with people that handle those issues for information. We are a domestic
duck care website.
