    large layer flocks

    Does anyone here have a large layer flock of ducks? As in a couple hundred or so. I have a large layer flock and would love to connect with others who have large flocks to be able to share experiences and such.

    Pekin duck that cannot retract his penis

    I have a Pekin drake under a year old. I noticed the other day that he was walking around without his penis retracted. I didn't think much of it because he has been servicing the girls. Yesterday I noticed that again it was hanging out only it is now black in color. There is about an inch-inch...

    Temp and humidity held perfect so I think it was the eggs and not the bator

    Incuview Incubator

    I had the extras under 2 broodies. Hatch day was Thursday soi think that is my final total at this point. They were shipped eggs so that would account for some of them not hatching

    Injured duck

    Came out this morning to let everyone out and one of my blue Swedish girls looks like she has a broken leg? She holds it to the side and will put that wing out to support her body when trying to move. I went to lift her and she put her good leg down and used me as a crutch to walk to the water...

    Hatching under a broody- are the eggs done hatching???

    Today is day 23. Seven eggs have hatched out of the fifteen that I set (shipped eggs). Four hatched on day 21 and three hatched yesterday on day 22. The hen is still sitting on the eggs. I can't remember how many looked developed when I candled on day 18. Three of the eggs feel heavier than the...

    Hatching under a broody- are the eggs done hatching???

    Will do. I went out and checked on the silkie who is now sitting on her half of the shipped eggs (7 eggs) plus the 4 that the other broody gave up on for a total of 11 eggs. I should have marked the ones that the other broody gave up on but I didn't. One has hatched and two have pipped.
