has anyone had troubles with their guineas attacking and killing their pullets and trying to kill roosters?

They all hatched naturally.

The black one is an Indian runner but I'm not sure about the black and white one. I had these given to me by someone who can't have them and only wanted them while they were fluffy.

Momma duck returned to the nest. Was on and off a lot yesterday. But she always returns. My other broody duck stays put really well. Is it ok for her to leave for a couple hours and come back a few times a day? My other I only see once maybe twice a day.

mom abandoned nest. How long do I have to get them in the incubator?

Thank you!

setting them tomorrow. I just successfully hatch 6 of 6 chick eggs. I setting 9 Muscovvy tomorrow. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone. It hatched over night and is doing fine. :-).

i can still hear the baby chick chirping but he made a crack about 24 hours ago. Should I help? If so how? This is 6 of 6 to hatch. All the others did fine. We are on day 21 now.

Thanks for all your help guys. I didn't have the "very small" egg issue with my first 6 hens.

How long is a "cycle" ?

I got these from efowl. They are all really vibrant healthy good looking birds but they are laying tiny eggs. A little larger than a robin egg. I hope it improves.

they have been laying for over a week and there eggs are very small. Is this normal? They are barred rocks and about 19 weeks old.

Are these all chicken eggs? I have pullets, hens, Muscovys, and guineas. Originally I thought the big one was my first duck egg and the little one my first guinea egg. But not I think the little one is a pullet egg and the big one might be a very large chicken egg. Help please.
