    Quick Question.

    Thank you Buckeye Amy! I did exactly what you said. I followed my gut again! Right before I went to bed I opened the incubator. There are no more eggs left. Talked to him/her and wiped off the mineral oil of the eye that had it closed. He/she perked up and is doing great now. Will move the the...

    Quick Question.

    I have one duck egg that went over 48 hours from external pip and made no progress at all. All the other went from external pip to zip in 12 to 24 hours. This one is really weak and not moving much after 5 hours. My gut says it worked a lot harder. Any thoughts? And yes, after 48 hours I did...

    Duckling Outside Tempatures

    Thank you for the advice!! Yes, the run has deep shade. Part is under a large weeping willow With cool grass. It got up to 105 this last week so I put off going out at all. This week will be under 100 with lows between 63 and 67 night. My house has been a steady 78 but have been taking them out...

    Duckling Outside Tempatures

    BTW, the set up is an insulated house with savings and straw, leading to a protected out pen. It can get windy at times but shouldn’t be any drafts inside how I have it set up.
