Hi all! I know this is a broody hen thread but it's the best one I know with the most help! I'm hatching 8 duck eggs that I'm really nervous about! They range from 3/2 to 3/5 as the day I put them in- what I'm worried about is lockdown! The eggs from 3/2 are currently on day 25- putting the...

I know this is a little late lol but I have the same issue here! I bought 2 ducklings yesterday from tsc and one of them kind of looks like she could be a runner..... She's either a pekin (which is what I wanted:/) or as I said before. I'm not an expert on this so some advice would be...

She does have plenty of access to fresh polls of water all day every day. She just seems like she hurt it somehow pretty badly and she is my only female so I need to egg production. She might not be cleaning herself as much right now because it's so cold right now but I just want her to be okay...

Okay first off I would like to start a thread but I don't know how so therefore I will post on this one. I have a female pekin duck who is about a year and a half old and she is having some serious eye troubles. One of her eyes started acting up a few days ago. At first I thought she just poked...

Okay I am very nervous! I bought 40 chicks from tractor supplies special order and I have no idea what to expect! I have no clue how long it will take for them to get here when I will get a call or anything! Plus it's been pretty cold here in Texas lately! I need all of them to make it because...

Hey all! I just ordered 40 chicks from tractor supplies special order chicks and I just don't know what to expect... It's a little cold here in Texas right now so I hope they are all okay... I'm just wondering how long it will take to get here and if they will be healthy etc. Etc.... I've never...

Ok now I have a new delema.... After placing the egg in a small basket with a heating pad and a towel I waited over night and nothing... What was a lot of activity is very little and I don't even know if it's just my mind playing tricks on me? Now it has this blue thing on the bottom of the egg...

URGENT HELP!!! I had a broody hen sit on 6 pekin duck eggs because I wanted to continue getting eggs from my one female duck. Soon after the first one started hatching I realized that 2 of the eggs were infertile so I had to get rid of them, no big deal. 2 others hatched yesterday do I had 3...

Does anyone know how to "make" a lavender jersey giant?

Ok I just received 7 five day old black jgs and I LOVE them!! I then saw that there was other color variations ,including blue, and so I really want to "make" my own blue jgs... Does anyone know what I need to add to the stew pot... Lol not that stew pot

I just got my first black jgs today! They are 4 days old and I'm in love! I got 7- 6 pullets and a cockerel. I do have a question if anyone can answer it. One of my pullets has this red marking on its belly and cheeks.. I don't know if it might be blood or a mark that the hatchery out on her or...

Oh I'm so happy! Your advice saved those chicks I swear. Three of them hatched that day and then the rest are still incubating but internally pipping.. How long will they internally pip because they have been at it since Monday?

Yes everyone is thriving! I'm misting them with a bottle every 5 minutes so nothing is drying out! I now have 4 external pipers who are very vocal

Ok thank you! Very good advice... I went back down and my broody hadn't gotten back up to her seven others so I picked them up and took them to the house. I set up a heat lamp and put them in a basket, spraying water in the sides of the basket lined with fabric advert once in a while to keep...

Ok I have one last post about my broody in this endeavor... I have three out of 14 eggs hatched! All is going great but today she got off of the best with all three babies... That would be ok but I checked out the eggs still in the nest and unfortunately 4 of the eggs were sloshy so I took those...

O k Ok... Very sad but I'll see what happens

Any suggestions?

I finally have two eggs hatched! I'm so happy and feeling a lot less discouraged after they didn't start hatching on scheduale! I still have my 5 marked eggs unhitched and those were the firsts... The momma hasn't kicked those eggs out and they don't smell bad either.... But they are very late...

On my first time hatching with a broody.. Well hatching in general actually and I'm on day 21! I went down earlier this morning to check but I don't really know what I'm looking for... I have two eggs that have very slight cracks in them and a couple others that are rocking... What does that...

On day 20 of incubating with my broody Wyandotte! I'm hoping that my set up is alright. I'm crossing my fingers that she hatches them safely!!
