    First time hatching eggs!

    I'm not the only one with a picky husband? I'm honestly amazed! My whole family thinks I go too far for him with meals and everything else he is picky about lol! I'll have to note that and do some more digging here soon! I had one more pip yesterday so waiting for them to hatch, the other 5...

    First time hatching eggs!

    One hatched this morning around 6am 😍 she was still wet and stuck in the shell when I checked on them and his/her favorite spot is in between the duck eggs

    First time hatching eggs!

    I get super excited and proud of my little mamas out there. I do love that the ducks just pop the eggs anywhere without a care haha, makes me feel like I’m not stealing them from their nests. The chickens fight for their eggs. That does make me feel better, we had a rooster in and he swore he...

    First time hatching eggs!

    It is completely closed, just not sealed. the temp on the thermometer doesn't change and it reads 110, the chicks seemed to move more and live better with it set like that. I adjusted twice so it read 102 and 100 but that was when some of the chicks stopped developing and they weren't moving as...

    First time hatching eggs!

    Really? My fiance keeps telling me that they will come out disfigured. He is a picky man though. He actually refuses to eat eggs over there because of it and wouldn't eat our own ducks eggs until they laid for a month first because "the first eggs are unstable." 😒 I knew horses could be inbred...

    First time hatching eggs!

    I have a heat lamp above a fish tank, I have the bottom and one long side insulated with a brown paper bag, and then a towel that covers all the walls and a plastic wrap type of thing, I really wouldn't know what to call it. It was a cage guard for one of the parrots I rescued but that sits on...

    First time hatching eggs!

    I wasn’t going to post until I was confident I didn’t screw everything up with the incubation process! However, I recently started experimenting with some eggs from the neighbors farm because her chickens keep killing the babies :(. Today is day 18 and the first day of lockdown for us. I started...

    How do I choose which drake to keep as a breeder??

    Thank you! I hope I picked a good one, my females seem much more relaxed since I separated them from the males! I don't hear a lot of loud quacking and flapping around anymore, rather they just quietly swim around and scavenge the yard for bugs.

    How do I choose which drake to keep as a breeder??

    Thank you! I think I picked the best drake possible, he isn’t giant, but still bigger than the females and they seem to want to be around him more but boy did he scratch my arms up trying to run away though. My hands are too small to hold the whole duck effectively haha, being small is rather...

    How do I choose which drake to keep as a breeder??

    I bought 9 ducklings a while back, hoping for mostly females but as they are now fully grown and molted into their adult feathers I found out that I have 4 females and 5 males. How do you choose which drake to keep to breed? I am planning on selling both eggs and ducks in the future. I have one...

    Poll: Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

    My favorite is vanilla bean! I add milk and chocolate syrup to each bowl. My second favorite is the dutch chocolate ones with milk added into the bowl. I can't stand any of the regular vanilla flavors though, they taste like chemicals to me.
