    Can i breed brother and sister pigeon but not from the same brood of eggs?

    It doesn't matter the age difference, if they are from the same parents it will make no difference how far apart they are born. That is inbreeding, when you breed two siblings, and is generally fine for a few generations but sometimes leads to issues down the road. I would suggest you do...

    Breed a Silver duckwing onto a BB red or vice versa. You should get goldens.

    Post Phoenix Pics Please

    My phoenix usually go broody 2-3 times per season each (from now until August-September). I already have some on eggs this year. An occasional hen will not set at all. My bantams can cover about 7-10 standard size eggs, my standard phoenix maybe 12 at most.

    Put the eggs in an egg carton, and turn the carton on it's side. Flip the carton once a day (So the eggs are turned 180 degrees). Keep them preferably in a cool dark place (out of direct sunlight, somewhere consistently between 60 and 70 degrees). My basement works ideal. Their viability will...

    Muscovy ducklings not eating

    If it doesn't learn to eat on it's own I will probably cull it. These are for meat, I rarely have ever hand-fed a bird and would never use a bird as a breeder that has been hand-fed. It was about 5 days after it hatched I started hand-feeding, it hadn't started eating. In the countless chickens...

    Muscovy ducklings not eating

    Thanks, they are on mash. The smallest one I have been hand-feeding which is why it is still alive, the other I've seen once or twice picking at the mash but it is mostly eating small bits of food off the other ducklings bills, when the other ducklings are eating. Do you think wetting the food...

    Muscovy ducklings not eating

    Hello, I was hoping someone with more experience with ducks might be able to help me as this is my first time raising ducks. I am raising a batch of muscovies for meat, and two of the ducklings are not eating and do not seem to be trying to figure out how too. One is very small and I have...

    Yes, you can definitely incubate them. I have incubated pullet eggs with no problems. You may notice a slight size difference in the chicks that hatch from a small pullet egg versus a large egg from a hen who has been laying for awhile, but I have not noticed any differences in the birds as they...
