Yes I have symptom, I don't have munchausen syndrome. As a chronic eosinophilic asthmatic amongst other ailments and trained nurse, I am aware of how my body works and when I am well or ill, however I needed to inform my gp that I put myself on a course of prednisolone because I woke up not...
I couldn't get a decent picture from the video I had my daughter take but it seemed to have 2 black eye spots at either end (pointed and round) I originally thought it was just a huge yolk when I candled it when I first put the eggs in.
In all honesty I would rather it was just 1 because at...
So today all ducks are doing well and the eggs are happy wrigglers although they are getting harder to candle especially the twin. A couple of the ducklings seem to be preparing to make their debut as they have their heads near the air sac! We have 4 eggs in one nest and 2 in the 2nd nest. So...
He is very hormonal!! My fluffy grey slippers seem to be an attractive prospect for him, they dont feel the same way as they are my old lady slippers lol 😆 😅 😂
So we are on day21 all the eggs are very lively and reacting to my voice and me whistling! I have to say this makes me love them even more!! I said I would only keep 1 or 2 then it raised to 3 now I want to keep them all! I know its not practical but they seem so lovely. Mum and dad are...

Mine are being happy little wiggles (last night). I have been reading up on assisting them! We are now is day 20, 1 week to, I am excited but also very worried too!
I have just had a positive covid lateral test, so I am hoping that I am over this before the babies appear.
It could be a bit of a dominance thing too. If your pekin is the alpha female then maybe he is trying to ascertain his authorit? I would suggest keeping your pekin separated for a while, if he can't get to her me might become interested in the smaller ladies
My male call duck vibrates whenever he see"s me, I read somewhere that this is a sign that they are happy when they vibrate. Occasionally when vibrating he would jump up my arm. Because of this I began to think that maybe he was becoming aggressive, so I sat down with him and had a good talk to...
Oh wow so there are 3 of us all with twins over 10 days!! Please feel free to let us know how they are getting on and any advice!!
Wishing you and your twins all the luck I can for a safe and happy set of pip!!
Thank you I'm not going to lie I am quite worried. I've already fallen in love with my cheeky ducky babies. I will have a read, any other advice would be greatly recieved!!
I am trying to keep hands off as much as possible. I have an automatic Turning incubator. The temperature I try to keep to is 37.5 and am allowing the incubator to cool down for a few minutes, usually whilst topping up the water and candling (I read somewhere it was a good idea to allow the eggs...
I am in a similar situation mine are day 18 and still doing well 🤞🤞🤞 I would love to know how things go with yours! Mine are either call x miniature silver appleyard, or just call
