I have the spray leg and the crushed one in the bator. One duckling under the two mamas. I want to keep them in their nest box until all ducklings are there for their “first walk out” with the mamas. I’m also concerned about how two ducks may share one duckling. They fought over the eggs all...
Hi all
I have two Muscovy females sitting on what was a nest of 16 that has somehow been reduced to a few. They are locked in at night so I’m not sure how, but my plight is with hatching. One egg hatched three days ago, and the drake got into the pen and we found the duckling dead in the yard...
She ended up coming through just fine, set her up in the bathroom and let her in the tub as much as possible. She got better after a couple weeks and was reintroduced to the flock.
Hi all
We are a small family farm of chickens, ducks, rabbits and children. We regularily sell hatching eggs, chicks, pullets and roosters; pet and meat rabbits; duck meat, Muscovy ducklings, and duck eggs. I also work outside the home. We had coturnix quails for a little while but want a new...

Hi all
Just hatched a batch and the last one egg took two days to hatch, an shes able to squat stand but she starts looking up and up an then falls on her back and cant get up. I think maybe its wry neck but I've read chicken develop it when they are older. Can they be born with it? I got...
Count me in! I am excited as we have never bred these birds before! Naked neck/easter egger roo and orloff roo over a flock of black/blue copper marans and partridge chaunteclers! About 15 set
Vet said this happens when the egg stays in one part of the egg duct for too long , like the chicken cannot find a nest or is stressed or snow happens etc
I think you are all right on the gender, i was told they were the opposite when i rescued them! Just needed to check! I got him to check back through his email to find the breed and its called silver salmon marans but i have one already and he has no feather legs so i dont know if the man was...
"Wonderful mother person who plans to do coturnix! What varieties/colors do you plan to do?"
I have a silver wild one and two brown wild ones, we have only done them last year and lost most of the flock to quails disease i believe :( except three males so I will be incubating eggs from the farm...
