    Help with breed

    Trying to figure out the breed of the duck in the first image. He had helped produce some beautiful babies with black feathers, but none of the ducks had black feathers, even when they were days old. Not sure of the breed of any of the colored ones, but I don't have any images of them. If you...

    Potential Impacted Crop? Please help!

    I took in some chickens a little less than a month ago, and one of them may have an impacted crop. The chicken is hardly eating or drinking, and lost quite a bit of weight. The crop feels soft and squishy, but the breath doesn't smell sour (at least, not right now). If it is pooping, it is too...

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    Hey, wanted to say that I did decide to buy a Govee in the end, but I'm not sure how accurate it actually is. It reads 78 degrees in my house, but the AC is set at 73. I went outside and the weather app shows 82 degrees, but it's reading 93 degrees. Do you have any advice on this?

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    Yeah, all of my chicks pips on Day 17 and usually out at Day 18, so I'm a bit worried everything is ahead of schedule, but I brushed it off since I read silkie tends to hatch earlier than Day 21.

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    I live in southern Louisiana, but I keep the incubator in-doors. I believe ventilation is working properly, I hear the fans, but how can I double-check? The new batch of duck eggs did pip today (a few hours before D24) so it is early again. So I'm guessing the temperature is really too high...

    I just bought it this year, so the most recent one? I have both the Maticoopx20 and 30

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    I heard, but my father refuses to try it when I told him it was suggested. I think it stems from the fact my cousin managed to hatch her eggs in 80-100% humidity. I don't think my last batch of eggs drowned, though, because the membrane was dry.

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    Yes, I do, but I'm unsure exactly how accurate it still is. I only have one of each, and it matches what the incubator is reading, so I hope so. My parents (they can't read or write English) are the ones really raising them, and my father is very hard-headed and stubborn about everything, so he...

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    My second batch of duck eggs is heading towards lockdown Day 22), so I wanted to seek advice from people who may be more experienced than me. In my first batch of eggs, 4 of 10 eggs pipped externally at the end of Day 23/start of Day 24, so we hurried and took it out of the turner (we have a...

    Unfertilized egg? Guinea Fowl Day 12

    Damn... the eggs all look like that, guess I got unlucky and had a really bad batch from them. Thanks.

    Unfertilized egg? Guinea Fowl Day 12

    I recently bought some guinea fowl eggs from a local person. It's Day 12 now, and I'm not seeing much development. I heard it takes longer, but I'm a little worried because I don't see any progress. I'm hoping someone more familiar can tell me how a Day 12 egg should look like.
