    New Duckling

    This duckling hatched about 36 hours ago. He was the only egg that survived. The incubator sucked and it was difficult keeping the temperature high enough. His eyes are bulgy. Could it be he just looks like that because his head feathers are matted down or is it a symptom of something? Thanks!

    Hands on hatching and help

    Thank you so much for your response! When I woke up this morning the baby, along with a second one, hatched! Four more have hatched since without intervention. There are 4 more eggs in the incubator and they’re all actively zipping. Very exciting!

    What a relief! Thank you so much for such quick responses. Yes, it’s moving, yawning, chewing and chirping. There are 3 more calls that externally pipped this morning. How long do you suggest I leave them alone? Yesterday was hatch day (day 26 for calls).

    I circled the areas that look to me like blood vessels.

    Hands on hatching and help

    This is a call duck that pipped about 36 hours ago. I’m new to call ducks and everything I’ve read said they’d need help. I waited about 12 hours after the pip and I opened up space around its mouth so it wouldn’t suffocate. I accidentally made one of the blood vessels bleed, but it was minimal...

    Genders?

    I have four almost 9 week old BBWs. I think 3 of them are male. Can anyone confirm? TIA

    Newly Hatched Ducklings are Fighting

    Hello! I incubated and hatched two pekin ducks. One came out yesterday and the second one today. The one that hatched yesterday looks like it's attacking the new one. Is this normal behavior? I'm afraid to leave them alone together. Thanks in advance!

    I Have a Fox Problem

    Stupid question but what do you do with it once you've caught it? Not sure if they can be relocated?

    I Have a Fox Problem

    Regarding my second question, do you think it would be ok for the chicken to relocate her to my friend farm until the fox situation is under control?

    Hi, I'm Ashley

    Hi all, Thank you for letting me join the community! I'm very new to raising chickens. I started with 4 about 3 months ago. They are about 4 months old now. Sadly, a fox snatched up 3 of the 4 this afternoon. I'm here to learn more about chickens and better ways to keep them happy and safe...
