So far that I know of I have 3 black Swedish Ducklings, at least 1 Blue Swedish Duckiling ( from me doing lots of googling last night), and than the last 3, I am not sure what they are. There is one that is all yellow/greenish/beige, and than the other is yellow/greenish/beige and is taller and...

I have a one week old chick who is missing the upper part of its beak. It was fine the other day, but tonight my 9 yr old came running in to tell me that it was missing it. I thought he was seeing things as this morning I didn't notice anything wrong. The little one seems to be eating fine etc...

Some of my ducks hatched today, yippee!! The black ones are Swedish and the yellow ones are Campbells I think...they were my surprise eggs! I still have 2 more ducklings almost completely out of the shells and one more with pips in it. Than I have to wait another week for my Muscovy's to hatch

I thought I only had muscovy and swedish duck eggs in the bator. Imagine my surprise when some of my so called muscovy eggs are pipping tonight along with my swedish eggs and it's only day 25. Anybody know what other duck eggs resemble the same pale cream color of the muscovy eggs?? I'm so...

I need to up the humidity on my swedish duck eggs as they are on day 25 and some are pipping. Will it hurt my muscovy duck eggs that are on the same day?? Thanks!! Trish

I have a swedish duck egg who has pipped early( day 24), I thought they weren't supposed to start until day 28, but anyways, I only have chick starter right now as the feed store is closed. Can I feed it that until I can get to the feed store? Thanks!

Out of all the chicks we've hatched over the past few months, we have never had a chick with this color. It looks bluish/grey in real. Would it be considered blue splash type? All our chicks have the same moms( special hatchery breed with buff orp in them as well as whatever they are mixed...

My 19 yr old niece who was 6 months pregnant had to be transported to a bigger hospital as she has been having bleeding problems throughout her pregnancy, she had an emergency c-section early this morning and and gave birth to her daughter who is 1 lb 13 ozs. Things are alright for now although...

I finally found someone local here that had all kinds of different breeds of ducks. He also had every type of chicken breed imaginable there which I didn't think anyone around here raised! Anyhow I wasn't sure what kind of eggs to get so the kind man picked out some for us and we ended up with...

We have a robins nest in the lilac tree near our patio. Tonight, my daughter found one of the babies on the ground, it's mostly feathered. I carefully put it back in the nest but there isn't much room as there are 2 other babies in there. Well about an hour later, I found the baby on the ground...

How am I going to get any sleep now that the chicks are due to arrive sometime on the weekend? I loved being able to turn the eggs and candle them. I think I'll be hanging out over the bator watching like a hawk to see what goes on in there. I guess after they are hatched, we'll have to add...

I have a year old hen who is looking like she may be egg bound?? She's weak, had crusted poop all over back end and her abdomen and vent area are really swollen.. I soaked her in some luke warm water and she drank some sugar water, but when she goes to sit, she goes on her side a bit...

So I candled our 20 eggs last night, they are on day 8 now. !6 of them have babies in them!! The other 4 I'm not quite sure about, so I'm going to leave them in the bator a few more days to see if anything changes with them. I'm so excited!! It was cool to see the little things moving in the...

Since I couldn't wait to put what eggs I have in the incubator tonight, I was wondering if when I put what eggs I get from my girls tomorrow in tomorrow night, will I still be able to put the chicks all in together in the same brooder once they have hatched seeing as there should only be about...

My eggs are going in the bator tonight, so does anybody have any last minute advice for me since I've never done this before I've got the hovabator genesis 1588 warming up and the eggs warming up to room temp. Wish me luck!! Trish

Just wondering what the humidity level should be in the genesis 1588?? Getting ready to put my eggs in tomorrow night!!! Thanks!

I introduced our friends roo yesterday to our girls for the first time and I know I saw a post somewhere about this but can't find, but I was wondering how long should I wait before thinking about putting eggs in the bator?? Since I'm not in the coop 24/7, I don't know when they are mating, so...

Well, it was coop cleaning time and the girls were itchy to get outside, so we let them in the run since it was so nice out. A few flew over the fencing since we haven't got a top on it yet( another thing to do this week! Anyhow, here are a few pics: We escaped!! Dustbathing My 3 youngest...

What should the room temperature be that the incubator is going to be in?? I have a spare room ( actually, the one where my computer is in), it's away from little sneaky kids fingers to get at, so I want to see what the temp stays at in it to see if it's suitable to keep the bator in it. Thanks!!

We have 13 hens and our coop is 8 X 12. I wanted to divide the coop in half temporarily with sometime of chicken mesh or whatever, so that when we hatch our eggs, we can put the chicks in there while we build another coop. This would also allow the chicks to see the older hens and roo and get...
