    Help! Lone duckling !

    There are two in the brooder that I think are ready to come out but I’m afraid to open it because the egg that was popped in the wrong end is still trying to hatch ! The ducklings keep pecking at the hole when they hear it , stepping on it and causing chaos in there! What should I do? I can see...

    Help needed with incubating eggs.

    Duck eggs usually hatch around 28 days . Do you see a bloodline? If so, that means the embryo died. You can google and get great pictures!!!

    Help needed with incubating eggs.

    I’m new to incubating eggs also. We have 6 in there now due to hatch around Sunday. I think your humidity needs to be a little higher like around the mid 50s and then 3 days before hatch time increase it to around 65% humidity.

    Female Pekin Limping

    One of my female Pekins has begun to limp over the past day. I've heard of "wobble foot", but I thought that occurred primarily in Jumbo Pekins(she is not a jumbo) I can't find any wound on her feet. Any ideas or suggestions? Her limp is really noticeable, and she will sit down whenever she can...
