    Help! Duck egg has hairline cracks in it & still have almost a week to go

    Sorry, I never got any notifications like I usually do! They’re supposed to be hatching tomorrow & Saturday. I can take pics or a video when I get home tomorrow or is it not a good idea to do it so close to hatch day? Right now humidity is at 65% with 99 temp.. is that correct? I’ve read so many...

    Help! Duck egg has hairline cracks in it & still have almost a week to go

    We lost power last night, took 4 hrs to get it back on. I have 2 eggs that are much further along than the other eggs (23 & 24 days). Eggs were fine before the power went out & I just checked to see if they all made it through & discovered one has hairline cracks all around the egg & a perfect...

    HELP! No electricity from storm

    We ended up getting power 4 hours later. One of my eggs that has been incubating for 23 days has a crack going around the pointy end of the egg & hairline cracks all around the egg. I had picked up the egg & it felt lighter. Duckling is barely moving in there it seems. I’m not sure what could...

    HELP! No electricity from storm

    We just lost power from the storm & I’ve got duck eggs in the incubator. How can I keep them warm enough while also keeping proper humidity? All I can find online for no electricity incubation is it being supplemented with sunlight which we don’t have right now.

    Need advice after all but 1 in flock of 4 died

    Yes, I agree 100% & thank you, your reply made me feel better. I have a tendency to probably be a bit over protective with all of my animals, so I didn’t know if I was doing just that again or if my concerns were valid. His wife was pretty distraught over the 3 that died. They were actually 9...

    So he just said the new ones are all vaccinated I guess. Does that make a difference? Is a vaccine enough to keep everyone safe 100%?

    Need advice after all but 1 in flock of 4 died

    Nope. He just threw the new additions into the run with the surviving pullet. I tried telling them it’s usually best to wait at least 2 weeks before you move them together & he said he had no where else to put them & “they seem fine. He’s been keeping an eye on them the last couple of hours.” He...

    Need advice after all but 1 in flock of 4 died

    My friend just had 3 of his 4 Pullets die. First one showed signs something was wrong last Friday (May 19) & by Sunday afternoon she passed. They didn’t bother coming to get Corid powder from me until Saturday evening & didn’t quarantine the sick bird like I advised them to. Then over the next 2...

    Help! Is something wrong with 9 week old pullet!?

    So an update on the remaining Pullets. I don’t think one will live for much longer. She is not able to use her legs & her feet are very stiff.

    Help! Is something wrong with 9 week old pullet!?

    The first one was already buried by the time I found out it had passed yesterday. If any other ones pass I think a necropsy will definitely be necessary. There is a neighbor whose chicken comes to visit sometimes. Could this have been where they got sick from? I mention this only because the...

    Help! Is something wrong with 9 week old pullet!?

    Could this be fowl cholera? Or am I just reaching now? The one who passed had some of the symptoms of it but I know it could have similar symptoms to a lot of things

    Help! Is something wrong with 9 week old pullet!?

    Thank you, I appreciate the response. The other 3 Pullets are now not wanting to leave the coop or stand. Could this be coccidiosis? My neighbor said it may be the bird flu? Any guesses?

    Help! Is something wrong with 9 week old pullet!?

    Thank you. I’m afraid the other 3 girls are now doing the same thing. They didn’t want to leave the coop & also don’t want to stand. Could this be coccidiosis even though there’s no signs of blood in their poop?

    Help! Is something wrong with 9 week old pullet!?

    Her crop seemed fine. I didn’t have a chance to get a pic of her poop but nothing looked out of the ordinary. It was more runny than usual yesterday with one of them being a runny green with some solid poop in it. I wasn’t there when it happened but was just informed she ended up having a...

    Help! Is something wrong with 9 week old pullet!?

    Checked for injuries & mites/lice but there weren’t any. Her abdomen felt soft nothing swollen or abnormal feeling. She didn’t want to leave the coop this morning & was brought inside. Tried to give her water with a syringe which she drank a little bit of. I wasn’t there for it but was told she...
