    Fight Club for ducks!? 🤔

    Hi! So I'm having a lot of trouble with my male & female Mallard, and my female Muscovy. I have had my two Mallards since they were itty bitty; I bought them at the same time two years ago. Last year I bought a Muscovy, who was around the same age as them when I rescued her. It was extremely...

    Candling during lockdown

    Thanks! I was so worried I did something wrong the last few days! Now I'm just letting the little one get all dried off in the incubator and them putting them in their little set up! ♥

    Candling during lockdown

    Thank you. At the moment, I wrapped it up in a heating pad on low while I was trying to figure out what I should do. But you don't think putting it in the incubator would cause any issues for it? This just sucks because she was doing so good for The past (almost) month sitting on them! 😔 I'm...

    Also, just to note, my Muscovy is also nesting and sitting on some eggs that she laid. But they are not going to hatch, at all, because they were never fertilized. I would put the egg under her, but I'm afraid that she might end up smashing it since is it not one of her own. So I'm just really...

    Candling during lockdown

    So this is off topic (kind of) from my incubator egg, and about the last egg left that my momma duck was sitting on! I just got home from work and went downstairs to check on her and her eggs, to see that another one of her three eggs has been smashed open with the baby, obviously dead, still in...

    Candling during lockdown

    Well, at the moment, it doesn't seem like there's any change. I'm at day 0 on my incubator. But I'm having trouble finding online what the proper temperature I should have it at right now and humidity is. I'm finding a lot of different settings. Do you have a suggestion for me as to what I...

    Candling during lockdown

    That was extremely detailed and I appreciate that so much! And yes, I'm anxious and I'm worried and freaking out and check it constantly during the day and before I go to work, the second I get home from work, etc. But I'm also not going to do anything to harm the little baby! I just wasn't sure...

    Candling during lockdown

    That is extremely awesome information! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of that! And now I'm really curious about another egg that I saw a little hairline crack, or two, in this morning! My mama duck is sitting on 3 eggs at the moment and I've noticed movement in all of...

    I pretty much checked everyday for the last week up until the lockdown period! I guess I'm just anxious!!

    I appreciate the feedback. But I'm just worried that if the baby needs help getting the shell broken, to start, how would I know? How many days after the "hatch day" should I wait to check on them?
  13. J

    Candling during lockdown

    Yes if is. It has an automatic countdown timer built in. So according to that I officially have one day left until "hatch day".

    Thank you. I appreciate your honesty! But how/when do I know if there is a reason to worry?

    Candling during lockdown

    So I'm just curious if I can candle my duck egg during the lockdown period. I have one day left in my incubator until "hatch day", and I'm really wanting to candle the egg to make sure there is still movement in there. Or should I just wait another 3 days or so before I get worried; if there is...
