4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension "Jacob" is the proud owner of the duckling. He named the duckling "UNO". Jacob is a Lancaster County 4-H'er.

Thanks to Paul and Lou from Clatonia, Nebraska for letting Jacob have the duckling.

UNO is a Pekin duck and he hatched on June 27, 2009

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension The duckling is in his new home. The guineas left to go to the farm. We have no more eggs to hatch on EGG Cam, but we'll keep updated on events and happenings related to hatching. I've got some photos to post and some updated resources. We'll get those on

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension We had only one duck hatch. The duckling did go to a 4-H family. The little boy named it "UNO" and because it is only a couple days old, keeps it close to him all the time. We'll post photos soon.

So sorry~ :(
I had a rough season hatching ducks this year too. 5 out of 10 and 4 out of 11, and I hand hatched most of them after waiting until others started dying~ Do you know why?

I'm not sure. Some years we have great luck and this year, just wasn't good. Did you purchase the eggs or get them right from a duck?

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension The guineas are going home either today or tomorrow. They've quickly turned from adorable fluff-balls, to gangly looking adolescents who have figured out how to fly out of their enclosure. That's always exciting for staff coming into the office!!

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension We added some finely shredded newspaper to the guinea brooding tank. The guineas will eat woodchips, but the newspaper won't hurt them. They look like little puffballs with stubby wings. Funny to watch.

Since these eggs were laid on different days, we're going to leave them in the incubator until Friday. We don't want to take them out and candle them in case they are close. But, we'll candle them tomorrow. When we candled them last week - all the eggs looked great, so fingers crossed!

The other eggs are not going to hatch. I checked them this morning. But, we have 6 healthy little keets and they are doing terrific. We'll be candling the duck eggs next week and will post the results...

I'm lucky enough to work at the Egg Cam office and today I was at the incubator when the first guinea broke out of the shell -- it's truly amazing to witness the process! I hope a lot of you could watch today's hatching. There's still more eggs pipping!

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Turkey eggs are on camera now. They could hatch any time based on the candling today. Sad story - a fox got the female turkey as she sat on her nest. These are heritage turkeys - we hope we get a good hatch for the farmer. http://lancaster.unl.edu/eggcam

Sad news. None of the eggs hatched because we had a major problem with the incubator - no power! Just makes us sick when things like this happen - fortunately, not very often :-(

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Boy, the chicks are getting big on 4-H EGG Cam! They need to go to their new home soon.

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension We've got more turkey eggs in the incubator. Some guinea fowl eggs and hope to get more. The chicks on camera now will be given to their new human families after Memorial Day. They are really growing - you can start to see they are losing their "chick fuz

4-H EGG Cam - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension You'll see a lot of chicks on EGG Cam today - then fewer. We're picking them up from the schools and farmers will be stopping throughout the day to pick up their new babies.
