Quail incubating with chickens. Best way to accommodate both? Beak clip quails?
Sorry, I was unaware where to post this question so I posted in 2 different places. You can remove one if you wish, wherever it doesn't belong. I have actually never even hatched quail before, even alone. I have hatched chicks and I've hatched ducks, but the Last time was over a year ago so I'm...- ashswag14

First time hatching quail and chicks together. Tips?
I have actually never even hatched quail before, even alone. I have hatched chicks and I've hatched ducks, but the Last time was over a year ago so I'm kind of rusty. I am getting some silkie eggs from a local farm in a couple days when everything is set up, and the guy has an abundance of quail...- ashswag14

Pekin Duck Club!
Yeah, when they eat they can't get to their food fast enough, you'd think I was starving them lol. They eat so fast. I'll try adding water to see if that helps. Thanks! -

I have 5 three week old ducklings right now. 3 Pekins and 2 Pekin/Runner mixes. I noticed that they are doing something like a sneeze, especially when they eat. I did notice that one of them was doing it right when it came out of the egg, but now it seems that all of them are doing it. What... -

4 of my staggered hatch birds were due on the 31st, all 4 pipped on the 29th, and 3 of 4 hatched on the 30th. The 4th one has been in the same position for 3 days now. I can hear him still alive moving around and stuff, but he's been there a long time. Do you think he's stuck? Should I help him... -

Is there a safe way to color mark ducklings? I have 4 three week old ducklings and my little cousin(6 years old) decided to name them after the 4 ninja turtles. Anyways is there a safe way to put a dot on like their beak or something (thinking we would do it the same color as the ninja turtles... -
One bird flipped all the eggs to "o" last night when they've been on "x" through the whole lockdown
Yeah its a staggered hatch though so some of them need to be turned the right way. I went ahead and turned them back around. I'm making sure the humidity stays up as well. One more hatched though! They're a day late but hey they're taking their time lol.- ashswag14

The membrane of my eggs is really white and rubbery. Will they hatch okay?
Ah thanks. Duckling #1 has been in the brooder for about 10 mins by himself. I put a stuffed bear in there for him to cuddle with but he's still crying :( I hope they hatch soon so he's not so lonely lol. He did go last night and flip over all the eggs to side "o" when they've been on side "x"...- ashswag14

Sorry for all the questions I'm just new to this. It's been 24 hours and none of the other eggs have even pipped yet. The only one that hatched had a REALLY tough white rubbery membrane so I fear the other ones might have trouble. I'm about to take the one that did hatch out and put him in the...- ashswag14

it's a staggered hatch but 5 should have hatched yesterday and then 7 later this month. I've done chickens but never ducks so this is a first for me lol. Only one has hatched so far but the others are still chirping away inside haha -

Sorry for all the questions I'm just new to this. It's been 24 hours and none of the other eggs have even pipped yet. I'm about to take the one that did hatch out and put him in the brooder since he's dry and just wrecking through the bator lol. But I woke up this morning and he has turned all... -

I have a staggered hatch so I have to keep turning the other one's. I'm keeping the humidity up. One of them already hatched by itself and its really messy and it has like a red sore looking thing on its belly. What is that? -
Pekin Duck Club!
So I feel like the duckies can't get out. The membrane is really white, tough, and rubbery. only one has pipped so far but all the eggs keep moving around ALOT like they're trying to get out. Where the one had pipped, I peeled off a piece of the shell to see it. Here's a picture. You can barely... -

They are duck eggs but I assume the same goes with them as with chickens. They have been chirping in their eggs since yesterday afternoon and they've been wobbling around all day. Only one has pipped and its been like 3 hours so I took a little piece of the shell off and noticed that the...- ashswag14

I hear my babies chirping in their eggs! I'm so excited for my first Pekins ever! Hope they hatch okay! -

I'm hatching some Pekin eggs in the incubator and they are moving by themselves??? I've only hatched chickens before and I've never seen this. Is that normal? They are only on day 25. -

So I hear you are supposed to add niacin to their water when they first hatch. How much do I add, and do they have to have it forever? Or can you stop giving it to them after a certain age? Also what is the best thing to feed them? I've read alot of this but so many people seem to be saying so... -
Pekin Duck Club!
I don't have any ducks, but I hatch some for a guy who breeds them. I'm thinking about keeping two, after reading some of these posts. My question is, what genders do I need to get? 2 boys, 2 girls, or a boy and a girl? Will two of the same gender fight or is anything fine? -
Pre-Order Pekin Ducklings or duck eggs for hatching or eating!
Do you still have Pekin eggs? I recently bought from 2 different farms here (10 Khakis and 10 Pekins) and all of the Pekins wound up infertile and the guy refuses to replace haha I just love the Pekin sweet nature.- ashswag14
