    Incubation for Mule Eggs??

    How long did they take to hatch? I just put my mule eggs in the incubator, but not sure since they are muscovy/duck cross.

    how long should i wait before i give up?

    It had already zipped around, but just didn't push out of the shell. It was the very first one. And it was a large chick in a not so large egg. So I wonder if it was positioned wrong.

    how long should i wait before i give up?

    I have about 9 eggs left in the incubator that have all pipped. I lost one already during hatching. How long before I help them? They have been with the same hole for over 8 hrs, and it looks like it is breating heavily. I don't want to lose anymore. Any ideas?

    Yeah, we soaked their feet, and tried to pull the scabs off. They are soft and brown discolored. Some of it came off, and left a hole on one side of our boy. Just makes us feel so bad for them. I am pretty sure three of them will be fine with the brush, and the boy we might have to keep one foot...

    Thank you. I have 4 pekins, and had no idea about bumblefoot. I am going to give this a try. One is limping, but the others aren't as bad, so hoping this will work great!!
