    Off Balance Chick, Falling Backwards, Please Help!

    I'm thinking that perhaps the chick was born like that or is affected by the shipment. I have a duckling that hatched a couple days ago and can't walk, i'm not sure if it's a disability or a injured leg. Sorry if I wasn't much help, I hope the chick gets better.

    This morning my duck hatched 5 ducklings! They've been in the nest for the past couple hours and haven't gone anywhere. Is the mother supposed to show them around and find food for them?The mother duck didn't get raised by her mother so does she not know how to care for them? Or is it all...

    To wash or not to wash eggs?

    I don't wash my eggs. There is a covering around the egg which makes them last longer that washes off if you clean them. Although you might not like the idea of not washing the eggs after they come out of your hen, it does make the eggs last longer.

    HOW TO MOVE A BROODY DUCK TO THE BROODY COOP?
