Hello there, my ducklings are now around 6 weeks old and they are getting balder and balder. I just wanted to post some picks to make sure it is normal moulting and transitioning to adult feather or there's any issues. Excuse the pics, but I can't get any closer, they are absolutely terrified of...
Hello there, today I bought a few ducklings because they were in appalling conditions. The seller couldn't give me their age, I estimated around 1 month, what do you think?
P.s their enclosure is temporary, I will move them in a few hours, as soon as everything is ready for them

Hi, about 36 hours ago my chick pipped at the pointy end and I let it do its thing because it was breathing and peeping loudly. But then it started to move a little less and it seemed very tired so this morning I started chipping the shell off and I wet the membrane, seeing that the blood...
Hello, I am on day 18 of my new incubation and as I candles I saw some weird spots near the veins, almost like blood clots but the chick moves around and seems very much alive. What could it be? Thanks for the answers
Hello, I'd like to ask a question. I decided to candle my eggs today and one egg seems perfectly developed, exactly how it should look, but I saw no movement at all. I use a powerful candler so that shouln't be the problem. I'm worried the little chick died, but it seems that it has developed...
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask something since it's the first time that I try a dry hatching. I have 6 silkie eggs in the Janoel 12 incubator and I'm trying to dry hatch for the first time. My humidity is about 30% but the problem is that my inside thermometer shows a lower temperature that the...
