    Weird Assisted hatch

    Thanks for the advice. As I posted this he gave a big stretch and some membrane torn and his head popped out, haha. The blood I saw was not vessels after all but blood inside the egg which is weird. Within minutes he was fully out and as I gently pulled the membrane off I saw no evidence of yolk...

    Weird Assisted hatch

    Advice needed. Is there a way to get the membrane blood vessels to dry up more quickly in an egg about to hatch? here’s the story; I have experience with assisting hatch and always had good luck. In my incubator I have 9 duck eggs. One had a very small air sac (SAS) with no internal pip. The...

    Hello, newbie here.

    I had a drake, 3 ducks, a rooster and 4 hens living in a pen together. The drake and rooster left each other alone. It’s worth trying and if it doesn’t work you can separate them later

    Opened egg- surprise live chick inside

    So I just hatched 8 chicks out of my incubator. They were all pipped and zipped within 2 hours of each other and moved off to the brooder. One lone egg had zero signs of hatching. 24 hours later I checked again, and again no signs that I could detect. I did a float test and maybe saw movement...

    Why did my rooster die?

    Hello - I am tired of googling random search words so I thought I'd see if someone here has answers for me. My ameraucana rooster has died. Two days ago I noticed he had one eye slightly closed. Maybe halfway. It looked good, no sign of injury or infection. So I thought I'd give it a day, maybe...

    Releasing Mallard duckling

    I disagree with most perspectives here. Why is it so black and white? Release or keep as a pet? I've read many accounts of people letting their orphaned mallards free range during the day, close them up safely at night and one day the mallard chooses to leave on its own. Simple. Also if you...

    Orphaned mallard duckling

    Hello! I live in a remote area, I can't run out for specialty ingredients please keep in mind. So my situation is this; I have an orphaned duckling and I've decided to try to care for it but don't know what to feed it. I have chickens and only have access to layer ration. I've read that layer...

    Incubator late hatch

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I have decided I will eventually open an egg, I'm just nervous about when to do so. I really dread seeing a living baby in there. Maybe I'll candle and float one last time then get to it. Eeek

    Incubator late hatch

    Also, I have candled and floated but I'm new to this and it is inconclusive, no movement that I can tell. I saw one egg rock'n'rolling a few days ago, but it has stopped. No sound. I hope I get a surprise.

    Incubator late hatch

    I have read the many threads on this topic but one thing is still missing, I can't find anyone who has clearly stated the latest day in which an egg has hatched. Has anyone ever had an egg hatch on day 27, 28 .. 30? Beyond!? I've already decided to wait until day 30 because they are in the...
