    Swan wing pinion

    Thank you for your reply. I think I have decided to let the breeder do it. I can’t find a vet who is taking swans. It seems anyone who has swans pinions.

    Swan wing pinion

    The breeder says I should cut the end of the wing so you don’t have to do the feathers every year but I find it inhumane to take away the swan’s ability to fly but I also don’t want I also don’t want them to fly away and starve or get eaten.

    Swan wing pinion

    I am hatching 2 black swans and I would like everyone’s opinions or experience with wing pinion. I really don’t want to but breeders are telling me I should. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to be irresponsible but I feel it is inhumane. Thank you!

    Call Duck Colour?

    Hi, I hatched this duckling from purchased eggs from a mixed colour flock of call ducks. At first I thought it was going to be a white but it seams to have some brownish colour in it. Any thought from you would be greatly appreciated on its possible adult duck colour. Thank you!

    moving egg with crack instead of pip (hatch day)

    I didn’t help mine until 3 died in their shell as they pipped but didn’t progress any further. Mine had totally detached air cells so I knew my hatch rate was going to be very low. I wouldn’t help normal hatching chicks.

    I just saw the date of your post was a few days ago, that was the day mine were hatching. How did your hatch go in the end?

    moving egg with crack instead of pip (hatch day)

    I had shipped eggs that all the air cells were totally detached and the ones that tried to hatch pipped on the small end and didn’t hatch. When 2 other eggs did the same thing after several hours of not progressing I helped them out of the shells. 1 of the 2 is okay but has a bit of trouble...

    Cracked Egg Day 17

    That’s too bad. I just had some shipped eggs that the shipper didn’t specify Fragile or any warnings on the box so all the eggs had severely detached air cells and only 2 hatched on their own. I had to help 2 others out of their shell and 1 of them is not doing well. It’s so hard when we...

    Cracked Egg Day 17

    UPDATE: A beautiful olive egger chick hatched successfully. The opposite end of the air cell was pretty badly cracked and also down the side. So happy with the outcome.

    Cracked Egg Day 17

    I accidentally cracked my large olive egg on day 17, I have put vaseline on the crack and gone into lockdown a half a day early. I didn’t put the candle wax on since it is about to hatch in a few days. What do you guys think?

    What would you say are the BEST tempered, GOOD laying, NICE looking hens?

    I have many different types of chickens and my leghorns are very friendly and give the most and biggest eggs. If you often feed them treats (they love peas and scrambled eggs) they come running when they see me.

    Help with GQF Sportsman Incubator

    I just bought the GFQ Sportsman cabinet incubator with hatching tray. My question is when you have eggs hatching in the drawer with eggs in the trays on automatic turning, the last turning tray looks like it is dangerous for the hatched chicks as it goes far into to tray. Has anyone had any...
