It's been years since I've posted here. I recently did a hatch of 14 viable eggs. 12 lived. Two needed help. The very last one which pipped but didn't progress died today after 3 weeks of living. Smh but anywho. All of these came from the same type of chickens and rooster but one of them is...

I just hatched 6 babies. The other 5 are perfect (besides the one with the crested Gene)but, this one who pushed out on her own, has a very different chirp, has the most beautiful color combination I've seen on any of my baby ducks, and the worst is she has a deformed leg. The joint at the tibia...

These two could've come from two different mothers bc all my hens lay together lol. Their dad is my mallard or Rouen (he's small but healthy so i cant tell) But, i lost my first duckling I ever hatched 5 days in so I tried again. I was so sad nd thought about giving up. She died while I was at...

One of my Cayuga hens who is about 8 months and laying has a pink growth on her inner corner right eye. I brought her inside and put triple antibiotic on it just in case it's an infection. We thought she damaged her eye but when I brought her inside and put a cool wet tissue over her eye and...

My 2 week old Brown Leghorn hen x barred rock rooster mix has developed a crook in her neck. I don't think it's wry neck because she moves around fine, she eats, drinks, poops, crop empties and fills normally. She's had all her vitamins since birth. She shouldn't hve been injured bit it's...

Can I take the Turner out and stop turning them as many times a day a week before they are due? If you want to know why..I feel like everytime I've opened the incubator right before lockdown to take the turner out I may have caused a few to shrink wrap or die early bc the humidity drops quickly...

We are on day 5 and still alive. I have been afraid I would lose him the last two days. But every time even the day I helped him out of his egg..he proved to me that he will fight. I had to help him hatch due to shrink wrapping and humidity dropping while I was at work. It was a 40 degree...

My question is only based off this egg chart lol.---> https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b2dGZ4h6BwE/Ty8ls3KfFAI/AAAAAAAABHE/wqq7Y4jYmJ8/s640/DSC04381+-+Copy.JPG But, my "Pekin" eggs look like what's shown for a mallard. And that Mallard/Rouen(idk) behind her is a Drake. The Khaki Campbell in the far...

I'm getting someone out to test my birds so I can eventually sell eggs at the FM and babies too. Is there anything special I need to know. I house my chickens and ducks together in a big 20x12x5.5 pen..with a coop in the middle. The ducks pool is in the back corner and chickens roost and all up...

I only set these 10 days ago. The hen mightve started and stopped. But these def look older than 10 days from what I saw with my last batch.

This is not about Human Pregnancy (lol)but, When I was pregnant I found that having a support team of people due the same time as me was great for everything. Some of those ladies and myself are still friends 9 years later. I wanted to find out if anyone here is due between these dates for...

Is this a blood ring? Embryo seems rather dark and small. It's day 9. Another egg from the same hen..same batch is moving alot in the video below and seems larger than this one. And the third from this trio seems to have two dark masses, no blood ring, and moves only with rotation of the egg. I...

I have plenty of eggs with a seemingly broody Brown Leghorn and 4 other laying hens. I came home after getting up to 9 eggs from 1 hen with 2 missing ( i blame the ducks bc there was nothing to be found), and one cracked. So, i decided to bring them in. I'm out on short term disability due to a...

I raised chickens once before and they lasted a while until one of our horses fed them ant poison. Currently I have a 2.5 to 4 month old mallard (at least i think bc he is small), 2.5 to 4 month old pekin, 6 to 8 week old Khaki Campbell, and 2 nearly 4 week old Cayugas. And 8 chickens of...
