    Help duckling out of unpipped egg?

    Thank you. It managed to come out over night on its own. It has a deformed beak, almost like a sore on top of its beak over one nare but it doesn’t seem to go all the way through. It’s very small and seems to not be able to keep up with the others, the others are splashing in water and this one...

    Chicken Hen raising Ducklings

    Hello, My chicken has hatched 3 x ducklings, my question is; will she be able to keep them warm enough or should I put them under heat? They just seem a little cold but maybe I’m being a helicopter mum. Thanks for your help

    Help duckling out of unpipped egg?

    Hello, Thank you in advance for any help offered. I have incubated plenty of chicken eggs and have had to intervene a few times, I always wait the 48 hours and only ever help minimally. I recently had some very clucky hens & there were not fertile chicken eggs in my city so I bought some duck...

    HHD 12 egg incubator for Duck Eggs

    Hi all, I’m going to put some Indian runner eggs into my HHD 12 egg incubator (only placing 6 in) I’m at a bit of a loss & I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. With the chickens I’ve hatched, the water chamber is increased each week, one for week one, 2 for week two etc...

    Help! Should I intervene??

    Thanks all for your help! After these last photos I continued to ‘zip’ for her, leaving the membrane intact and just removing the egg, I did about 3/4 and put her back in the incubator at 1am, so slowly removing the egg for her over 2 hours, she was still trying really hard to get out so I put...

    Help! Should I intervene??

    Not sure if these blood vessels look a big too big to be ready? It’s been a solid 30 hours now, would they have been absorbed by now?

    Help! Should I intervene??

    Now well past 24 hours, still not moved at all so I’ve started to help by removing the shell with the membrane kept in tack. Baby is still chirping loudly but I’m very nervous to harm any blood vessels, what are your thoughts on this photo?

    Help! Should I intervene??

    Hello! I need some advice, this little bantam Orpington chick started hatching about 24hours ago, maybe 20 hours ago from when I noticed the initial Pip. It’s not gotten far but I can hear it in there chirping. Should I help! I’ve helped in other batches and I really don’t want to open this...

    Lump on her face? Any help would be great

    update: We had our vet appointment, no respiratory infection, apparently the discharge is due to the lump pushing on her sinus. They think she’s hit it/been pecked and it’s developed from there. They drained it, gave her anti inflammatory medication and an antibiotic

    Lump on her face? Any help would be great

    Yesterday afternoon her eye started to open again so I thought we were on the mend, but this morning is closed and the swelling is getting worse, it’s now a soft/squishy lump all along the right half of her face. She looks like she’s got some discharge from her nostril too, it’s clear. She has...

    Lump on her face? Any help would be great

    Thanks for your reply, no, none of my other girls have ever had anything like this & I’ve had them from eggs. I’ll take her to the vet and ask about some antibiotics but she’s not showing any other signs of illness, and her other eye is completely clear.

    I’ve had her for about 1.5-2 months and she’s only started with this lump in the last 2 days, I’ll take a photo of inside her beak & post it

    Lump on her face? Any help would be great

    Hello, I recently purchased a bantam Orpington hen, she’s been with me about 1.5 months. None of my other chickens are displaying any sign of something similar. It started with a lump kind of between her eye and jaw, and she isn’t exhibiting any respiratory symptoms. A day later & it’s now...

    Thanks, I will look into the electrifier. I hadn’t even considered that.
