Fishy smelling twin egg - what should I do?
Hi, I am incubating some duck eggs and noticed one egg had twins. Now on day 17 the egg smells fishy and I can't tell if it's still alive. I'm afraid if the embryos die it will rot & explode. Should I remove the egg from the incubator?- Ideazoo

Every night with the new ducks is an... -
Let's play the Game, "Muscovy or Not?"
Thanks for the feedback! As a duck newbie, I started suspecting they were muscovy due to their prolific tail wagging... all youtube searches came up with muscovy ducks wagging tails. They also mysteriously showed up on someones doorstep. (muscovies seem notorious for hiding nests and surprise... -
Let's play the Game, "Muscovy or Not?"
I got a couple ducklings a few weeks ago and now they are about 5-6 weeks old. In the beginning they looked like baby Mallards but now they are twice the size of a mallad & have pretty big feet. They are friendly,wag their tails a lot and get nippy when sitting in my lap. They love their pool...
