Don’t wash them! Like chicken eggs that bacteria seeps into the eggs and will make it go bad much faster even if they are put on the fridge, if you want to clean them I would use a brush or cloth over any type of water
I have 4 Peking female ducks and 1 male, without an incubator so we decided to try natural incubation since the ducks were broody.
Only we’ve been trying for two months, all eggs left were fertile after checking via candling, however a week later the eggs would get broken and those that made it...
I'm not sure what the temp is on the cool side but its much cooler. We recently moved to Indiana two years ago when the issue started. She doesn't want to do it anymore because last years flock did the same thing where half of them dropped which is why I think the heat lamp has teflon but she...
No she doesn't want to do a drench, I don't know what box it came from and since she wont let me look at the lamp itself I cant tell.

No thier not throwing thier heads back, other than the one last night the others were acting normal and the next day they're dead. I feel like hatching would be a good idea but I'm only a teenager and my mom refuses to do from scratch, shes saying if the ones who are left make it that's great...
My family got 10 buff orpington's from rural king, we do the same stuff we've done to care for them for 15 years but this year they're falling off one by one. Just last night one was standing with her eyes closed and was pushing her head up and forward a little and open and closing her mouth...
