    Incubating East Indie Ducks

    I am getting some East Indie duck eggs. How long do they take to hatch? Same as regular ducks? Same as call ducks? Any helpful hints?

    Lavender Orpingtons

    Thank you so much for the info. Someone told me you had to add in black blood to keep the lavenders true and I panicked. I love my Lavenders.

    Lavender Orpingtons

    So do I have to add in black? Or as long as I get new lavender blood I will be ok?

    Lavender Orpingtons

    Will lavender orpingtons always breed true or do I have to add black back in for future generations?

    Do You Feed Your Baby Chicks Eggs?

    Can they get too much egg? I have a little runt chick and she just LOVES the eggs. I mixed it yesterday with starter and electrolyte water. I want to give it to her more often than once a day, she is half the size of the other chicks at 3 weeks old.

    frustrating hatch rate

    I am just getting back into chickens. This is my second try. Last incubator full I had a low hatch rate. Many of the chicks were partially or fully developed with no pipping. So I added ventilation. I purchased a digital thermometer I found the mercury thermometers were reading a bit cool...
