    Duckling Day 21 - Air cell too big?

    All 21 of mine pipped internally very early. Around day 23/24 and started hatching late day 26 but it takes them forever. And yes, with ducks it looks like the air sac is huge and takes up about half the shell. Just remember that ducks take a lot longer than chickens to fully hatch. They’ll...

    Favorite incubators?

    I’m looking for a large and a small so only 7 is ok. Will it accommodate larger eggs like ducks or turkeys too? I know that it does smaller. I use a wifi temp-hydrometer in all of my incubators, brooders for the first week or two, and in any outside habitats. So the hydrometer isn’t a must...

    Favorite incubators?

    I have two incubators: One similar to the one in the pic but not as nice. And a plain still air styrofoam one. The one in the pic, I hated how it rotated the eggs so removed it and have always done all of my eggs manually. I’m looking to add one or two incubators but would love some input...

    Duckling Day 21 - Air cell too big?

    Nope. It looks perfect! I did still air, dry incubation and has a 95% hatch rate with my first ever time hatching. Many looked even lower than that at 21 days. Check out this link https://www.muranochickenfarm.com/2018/03/dry-incubation.html?m=1

    5 week old chick only looks sideways no up and down with her neck k

    definitely looks like wry neck. If you use Pinterest, search for chick with wry neck and you will find a ton of info on what causes it and how to treat it naturally or with medications. A big one is some molasses in the water as it’s chocked full of vitamins including selenium, which is needed...

    Second floor of garage into a coop

    We do temperatures of both extremes but the attic of the garage is well protected from the weather and does have electricity and working windows so the climate can be controlled as naturally or as artificially as needed.
