Your work bench looks like mine. I love open shelves and being able to see my tools out in the open. If I'm missing a wrench, I know right away which one. How is that white Makita impact driver holding up for you? I bought one and I loved how small and light it was, but hated how quickly those half sized batteries died on me. Then the trigger quit working and it was always on full speed with trying to use it. I have it hanging on my wall right now for emergency use, but never use it because I bought the blue Makita impact driver and it's been perfect.
I didn't realize the duck nests where like barrels. How do they get from the water into them? I saw over on Pondboss where some people where making floating duck nests, but never saw if they where used or not. Ducks are kind of odd in where they lay eggs. Not like chickens at all.
Eddie,
I fear the chicken hatched ducks will never learn to swim and be ducks. Ducks pile up lots of eggs before they sit on them. Up to 20-24 eggs. If they lay one a day, it takes a while. The eggs won't start developing until heat is added with a hen sitting. You can save up eggs for a week or so on the counter, adding picked up eggs each day, to have a bunch to go into the incubator. I put eggs into the incubator when I find them, after penciling in the date on the end and candling. Then 3 days before the hatch date, move them to the incubator without an egg turner and more moisture inside. Ducks are harder to hatch then chickens. Good luck.

We are hoping to try putting the duck eggs under the chickens in a month or so, but we have to find the duck eggs first, and that's the biggest challenge. It might work, or it wont. We tried incubators, and haven't had any luck. With chickens, when we let the girls sit on the eggs, once they start hatching, we get a chick or two every morning and every evening. Then we bring them into our house and keep them in different pens according to age. If ducks hatch, they will be kept with other ducks in a separate cage until they are big enough to be let loose with all the other ducks.
All of our ducks are rescues, they never saw a pond before. When we get them, we clip their flight feathers and toss them into the air. They land in the water and freak out at first, then start bathing. And bathing and bathing!!!!! Then they form up groups and start swimming around. By the next day, they are nice and clean and wanting to eat. We feed everyone together, so they all come up to the barn at the same time. Now they are usually there an hour before feeding time.
Anyway, that's how it's worked out for us so far.
