    Sick duckling

    Is she only sneezing after/during drinking? They do that to clear their nostrils and sometimes water comes out for a while. If she’s doing it all the time she could be getting sick, but ducks are typically really hardy and resistant to illness in my experience. Best of luck!

    What would happen if a Cinnamon queen roo bred with a silkie hen?

    I couldn’t find anything on Google for what it would look like, but you can search this website and they have a link for sort of a genetics/color calculator. I have a lot of silkie crosses here at my place, but none with a cinnamon queen. If you want to see any pics let me know :D

    run-in with a dog

    Sorry to hear it! One of my girls was recently attacked by something and lost some skin also. She’s recovering quite nicely. I recommend letting them heal if it’s not too expensive for you, they can come back from some pretty bad injuries. Here’s a picture of my girl when she got attacked, she’s...

    Can adding a roo stop egg production?

    My girls took a short break from laying when I added my roosters to the flock. I think it’s because they were working to establish pecking order and getting used to their new activities haha! However they did resume shortly after, maybe a week or so but I don’t recall exactly.

    Jaw injury on a chick

    First he cleaned the corners of her mouth really well with warm water, then he pushed up and in to put the jaw back. It worked so well I can’t even tell which chicken it was anymore. :D

    Best incubator for continuous hatching?

    I think that’s the one I want, it looks so nice! Does it automatically control humidity?

    Ducks and chickens sharing run, but different housing.

    Thank you! I wish it was a bit more fancy but it does the job haha! I would say you could free range/yard them if you fence an area. The more room the better! If you have hawks though you may want to net a roof for them.

    Incubating eggs

    Personally, I never wash any of mine, I pick off the big pieces and just hatch them. I also regularly smell check my incubator. So far I’ve only took out two stinkers of the hundreds I’ve hatched.

    Best incubator for continuous hatching?

    I have one now that holds 49 I think, and it’s typically full lol. I’d like one that holds around 100ish. I really like the looks of those ones you’ve got, I would just need to figure out a hatcher.

    I think she’s broody...

    Depends, if you don’t have a rooster it’s best to take them. If you do have a rooster and want more chickens let her sit

    I think she’s broody...

    Here is my broody BO. As you can see, she’s happily sitting, but when I touch her, she shows me how big and bad she is :lau
