In October 2017 we managed to get some fertilized duck eggs and bought an incubator – a machine that keeps the eggs at the correct temperature and humidity. And after a few weeks, we got ducks, 4 Cayugas and 2 Buff Orpingtons.
In December 2019 we acquired another 6 ducks with some of them being a cross between Cayugas and Pekin or Buff Orpington and Pekin. Now we have a total of 9 resident ducks with a varying number of rescue ducks.
It was getting too hard to manage them in their enclosure so we now leave them roaming free and so far they have all stayed.
In February 2020, Wasabi had 15 little ducklings that no-one expected, but suddenly 15 little fluffballs were waddling after mom. So cute.
