    Sick duckling

    Is she only sneezing after/during drinking? They do that to clear their nostrils and sometimes water comes out for a while. If she’s doing it all the time she could be getting sick, but ducks are typically really hardy and resistant to illness in my experience. Best of luck!

    What would happen if a Cinnamon queen roo bred with a silkie hen?

    I couldn’t find anything on Google for what it would look like, but you can search this website and they have a link for sort of a genetics/color calculator. I have a lot of silkie crosses here at my place, but none with a cinnamon queen. If you want to see any pics let me know :D

    run-in with a dog

    Sorry to hear it! One of my girls was recently attacked by something and lost some skin also. She’s recovering quite nicely. I recommend letting them heal if it’s not too expensive for you, they can come back from some pretty bad injuries. Here’s a picture of my girl when she got attacked, she’s...

    Can adding a roo stop egg production?

    My girls took a short break from laying when I added my roosters to the flock. I think it’s because they were working to establish pecking order and getting used to their new activities haha! However they did resume shortly after, maybe a week or so but I don’t recall exactly.

    Jaw injury on a chick

    First he cleaned the corners of her mouth really well with warm water, then he pushed up and in to put the jaw back. It worked so well I can’t even tell which chicken it was anymore. :D

    Best incubator for continuous hatching?

    I think that’s the one I want, it looks so nice! Does it automatically control humidity?

    Ducks and chickens sharing run, but different housing.

    Thank you! I wish it was a bit more fancy but it does the job haha! I would say you could free range/yard them if you fence an area. The more room the better! If you have hawks though you may want to net a roof for them.

    Incubating eggs

    Personally, I never wash any of mine, I pick off the big pieces and just hatch them. I also regularly smell check my incubator. So far I’ve only took out two stinkers of the hundreds I’ve hatched.

    Best incubator for continuous hatching?

    I have one now that holds 49 I think, and it’s typically full lol. I’d like one that holds around 100ish. I really like the looks of those ones you’ve got, I would just need to figure out a hatcher.

    I think she’s broody...

    Depends, if you don’t have a rooster it’s best to take them. If you do have a rooster and want more chickens let her sit

    I think she’s broody...

    Here is my broody BO. As you can see, she’s happily sitting, but when I touch her, she shows me how big and bad she is :lau

    Dying duckling possible attack???

    Is he able to move on his own? You may have to tube feed him, and for that you’ll need instructions from someone more knowledgeable than myself. It’s a last resort, avoid it if you can

    I might check it out more, you never really know with Amazon reviews but people were talking about missing parts and warped lids which got me worried. I need a new one ASAP

    Best incubator for continuous hatching?

    I was looking at that on Amazon and it seems to have quite a few dismal reviews. That’s actually the one I wanted most until I saw the reviews :(
