Ive got a broody hen with like 14 eggs and whenever shes up off the nest theres another hen on them so is that like planned or does that hen kick out my broody hen to lay more eggs in the nest?

And also i wouldnt know how to feed a baby duck if its not inside cause ive got other birds besides the ducks and this is the first time ive had a mom hatch

Yea its just that shes still sitting on eggs and im getting all kinds of mixed advice :/

Im holding the little baby inside but i feel bad cause hes all by himself. Will he be alright till the others hatch? He cries a lot when left alone so ive been holding him .

I walked out to the first hatchling! Its been hatched for a while cause it was already dry....so far nothing else yet the baby is under her rn.

Oh i didnt know theyd do that. This is definately her and my first time hatching . thanks for the good info.

I havent helped it at all. Momma duck went back to sitting on it. Should i take it out or just see what happens ig its not normal hatching right?

I woke up and found this this morning! Is that what a hatching egg is suppose to look like? And if this little guy hatches how long do the others have to hatch befo re momma duck abandons the nest? Will taking the babe away after it hatches keep her nesting?

Makes sense I am just going to take them out then. Itll be hard though cause shes like never off the nest XD

So will it be possible to hatch two chicken eggs under her?

I have two ducks: a muscovy female and pekin male. I know that they mate because it pretty much happens each time they jump in their pool so i was just wondering if it was possible for my female to hatch eggs. She's been dedicated to her nest these past few days barely leaving it .

I wouldn't have any idea I'm just assuming at this point that that'd what turkeys do

Wow I bet. How do you house them? It's gotta be a big space.

I can't wait till my male starts to gobble. My neighbor has some and I find it cute. I realize that they can be really protective too bc the other day a vulture landed by the flock and one of the turkeys chased it away. It was rlly amazing, especially considering the difference in sizes. My guys...

Cool good information. I'm really liking turkeys though. More than chickens I think XD
