Hello, I was wondering how much Magpie Ducks are worth. I know that there are only a few breeding ducks in the America, if not the world. Does anyone know? Thanks http://www.livestockconservancy.org/index.php/heritage/internal/magpie

Hello, today is the day that the ducklings chose to emerge from their little shells! They are all hatching under the mother duckling outside. HOWEVER, there are a few ants crawling on the baby duckling, which is under the mother. The duckling is breathing normally and is alive, chirping a tiny...

Hello! My family and I are so excited because we have 11 ducklings hatching! They are Magpie ducklings. But there is a problem, one duckling is pipping on the narrow side of the egg. Is this okay? BTW, this was and is a natural incubation, so it is under her mother. P.S. The duckling pipped at...

We have 2 Magpie ducks incubating eggs! They are on day 17. I will post pictures later. One duck is sitting on 10 eggs at day 17, and the other is sitting on 7 eggs just starting to get her batch together. I am so excited! Will the mothers eat the ducklings? We had this problem a few years ago.

Hello, I was baking and when I cracked an egg open this thing fell out! There was a yolk in the egg, whites in the egg, and this! Does anyone know what this is? It is somewhat hard, but squishy and you can definitely tell there is some fluid inside. It happened before with another chicken...

We helped it hatch today because there was movement in the air space. It is under a heat lamp, and the stickiness dried up around him so I can't tell if he is breathing or alive. HELP! He still has yolk attached to him.

I am incubating 4 duck eggs. They are in their days of hatching, but I think one is bad. I smelled all the other eggs (their shell) and they don't smell. But the one that I think is bad smells horrible, I candled it and I see no distinct veins. Help?!

Hello, I think I cooked the baby duckling :(. We started incubating it with a lamp. We didn't know what temperature (I heard it is over 100 degrees F) but I put the lamp too close, I think. The Egg was to hot to hold. Did I cook it?
