    How long until niacin deficiency can be cured?

    Thank you so much! That is very helpful. I was wondering what was meant by "younger ducklings". Mine are two weeks. Does this mean they should be recover within a few days? I'll continue to give niacin, I was just hoping for a timeline.

    How long until niacin deficiency can be cured?

    I have a two week Cayuga who started showing signs of niacin deficiency yesterday. His legs are pointed inwards and he keeps rocking back and forth. Is this irreversible? I am getting niacin today and will administer it ASAP. I'll post pics in a second.

    I have to give up my birds :(

    I wish. The issue is he is away at school and is very busy. I don't know his family all that well and there is pretty extensive damage. I have to move out my birds in the next few weeks and I just don't think we could get it done by then.

    I have to give up my birds :(

    My coop arrangement fell through and now all the birds I bought from the hatchery and all the birds I hatched out have to go. This sucks. I became so attached to them but my parents won't let me have them here at my house.

    🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

    I had about 9 Ayam Cemani, 9 Lavender Orpington, and 4 Silver Appleyards eggs in the incubator, but left the lid off for a couple hours due to stupidity 🤦‍♂️. I have to wait to see if I killed them. To think they were going into lockdown in just two days...

    HELP Left incubator lid off for several hours

    Thanks. I’d like to say this will never happen again but knowing myself, it probably will. Phew. Hopefully the hatch. It’s taking everything for me to not open it up and candle them now to look for movement but I know that’ll just make things worse. Should I still put them in lockdown on day 18...

    HELP Left incubator lid off for several hours

    Pure stupidity. I had to bring some eggs ready to hatch out to my garage and noticed the duck brooder was a mess. Cleaned that out then one thing led to another and I didn’t go back into my room until I went to bed and noticed the lid was off

    Bielefelder Sexing

    True :( I hadn't thought of that. I guess the freezer is his future. I decided he is definitely a male because he is so much lighter than the others, who are all very dark and have clearly defined stripes. After a few hours in the brooder, he is much lighter than in those photos. If you can't...

    🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

    The same thing happened to me! I have a couple different incubators but don't use one of them for lockdown because I like to be able to see what's hatching. Word of warning - I disregarded the whole opening of the incubator rule my first hatch because I got too antsy and lost at least two of...

    🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

    If they look fine they can stay in for up to three days, but should be in there for at least 24 hours. I do pull some of mine after a while if it's getting crowded, but only if I don't see any other eggs pipped. I never pull the lid off all the way, instead I crack it a little and grab the...

    Bielefelder Sexing

    Is this a male or female? No spot on his head but he is lacking the definite chipmunk stripes all the others have.
