Hi everyone! We recently upgraded our old crappy yellow China incubator to a genuine Janoel and were so excited to try it out! We did a batch of Pekin ducklings, with the last one hatching this morning, but it seemed the eggs were not being turned properly throughout the process as we lost...

Yep some of them are ahead in development as they were sitting in the warmer spots in the incubator, but there were some that were sitting in the cooler part so they are behind n development compared to the others. So I'm just asking how to work lockdown around the ones that are behind, as they...

:DThank you!

So we purchased some pure black Australorp eggs from an apparent 'breeder' who assured us they were indeed pure bred.... fast forward to hatching day and they have come out looking like this! I know for a fact the breeder also had Marans (not sure what colour) which were apparently in a...
