    Day 29 and still no duckies.... Should I be concerned?

    I'm not new to hatching chicks... I've been doing it for years, but this is my first time with ducks. I candled them like three days ago and everyone looks good accept one I think is dead. It is now day 29 and still no ones hatching. Should I be concerned? These are Call Duck eggs.

    Is it abnormal for chicks to start laying at 3 ½ months?

    Quote: I got two of them when they still had their egg tooth on (plus they came shipped from a hatchery so they hadn’t even eaten yet) so I’m pretty sure about their age… the other one I got when it was still quite little… so the breeder that sold me the chick couldn’t have been that off about...

    Is it abnormal for chicks to start laying at 3 ½ months?

    I had three silkie pullets that started laying last night… one of them died from being egg bound. I was wondering how common it was for them to do this? My other silkies didn’t start until 7-8 mo. The chicks were not all from the same breeder either.

    Quote: Okay if he is 12mo then he should be fertile, but you said he just started crowing? Mine usually start around 3-6mo depending on the breed… I have raised lots of chicks over the last ten years or so, but I have only been keeping full grown chickens for three years… so I do not know...

    New to it all!

    How old are your chicks? How did one disappear? As far as I know you cannot tell if the egg is fertile or not until it has been in the incubator for a few days. You have to wait for your girls to go broody and then they will sit on the eggs. The kind of chickens you have influences how often...
