Ok, thanks so much!! I figure my luck if I just picked some to keep and sold the rest in the end I would end up with all males so if I can tell them apart first that would be better!!

I have 20 muscovy ducklings, I plan to keep a few but would like to wait to decide which ones until I can tell the sex of them. At what age can you tell just by looking at them what they are? Right now they all look the same to me...CUTE

I really like your dads line of thinking, " don't tell her and she won't notice" I will tell my hubby I want more of "these or those" and he will say "like you need any more" and I say " I will just add them to everyone else in the yard and you will never know they are there" This of course...

Hi, thank you so much!! I will read through that and get myself a little more "educated" on this. I will get them on the medication today, and give everything a good scrubbing. Thank you so much for the advice, I greatly appreciate the help

Thanks so much for the replies!! I am taking my son to a dentist appt. this afternoon and will run into tractor supply while I am out so I can start them on it today. Is there anything else I should look for as far as signs/symptoms go? Currently everyone seems to be eating/drinking well, but...

Can I get that in places like tractor supply, or do I need to go to the vet?

I have chicks that are about 9 weeks old. I am finding droppings that look like blood. It looks like the whole dropping is blood, not like a dropping tinted with it. So it looks as though someone is literally pooping blood. I have 20 or so chicks together so I dont know which one is doing it. I...

I don't have a lot of experience with broody hens, but here is my recent one: I had a hen setting on eggs, when I checked the eggs a couple of days before they were due to hatch they didn't look right at all. They looked very wet and runny inside and honestly did not look like there were still...

ok thanks!!

How Hi do I go on humidity for them?

I gave my goose 4 muscovy eggs that were due to hatch on this past Friday, (the duck skipped out on the nest and the goose eggs were no good). My goose has been setting faithfully to the point that I have been concerned because she has not touched her food for days. She is now off the nest...

Maybe they were just getting their energy and strength up so they can play all day and night glad everything is looking good

Congrats on your new babies!!

Do you know anyone locally that you could maybe get some eggs from? or maybe try craigslist and see if anyone is posting any?

I have had this problem every day since breeding season kicked in, except it is with my 2 muscovy drakes. I originally had the one drake and his female, this year I got another drake and his females. when I 1st got the 2nd drake my original let him rule the yard, now that mating season is in...

Unless I am missing something in the original post, I would say that the op has every right to be angry. Now maybe her son owes the other child an apology for hurting his feelings, even if that was not his intent. but unless I am missing something, the other child, and parents are wrong also. I...

I am not sure what the average age is, so I am not much help. I have a batch of mixed breeds that I bought this spring, they are now going on 16 weeks, based on their looks there are at least 4 roosters. I heard one crow a couple of days ago, that was the 1st time I heard any of them try to, and...

I don't really have an answer, but sometimes I wonder if it is just a comfort thing, that maybe they just feel safer cuddled together. I have some 4 week olds that had been in the house because our weather had been so crazy I hadn't put them out. Even inside with the house nice and warm they...

I bought the brinsea eco 20, without the turner. It is octagon shaped and you just tilt the bator. It holds around 24 chicken eggs, give or take. Temp & humidity holds steady and for a 1st time hatcher like myself it was pretty idiot proof. I had a 100% hatch rate on 22 eggs for my 1st hatch...

I got mine a couple of months ago, my 1st hatch was a 100% hatch, 22 eggs. and that was my 1st time incubating other than one time when I borrowed a styro foam one and it cooked my eggs.
