Hi everyone! So today was the day that unexpectedly my duckling hatched! After not thinking it would die to low humidity problems. Anyway the little one is out. Only problem is his foots a bit bent, but I've already put a boot on it. What vitamins should I be giving it? Last year I had problems...
So this is the first year my apricot hen decided to be a mum! She has 12 eggs and has now been sitting for atleast a week. Of course she made her nest in where my mother now wants to put sheep with thee new born lamb. Is there anyway I can move the nest and have her still sit on it?
Ok very sad chick update. Everyone's hatching now but I have one with no eyes and a beak that the top goes one was while the bottom goes the other. Must have been a issue with the humidity, everyone else is doing great though! I'm not sure what do do with the little black chick he's still...

Having a hard time keeping the humidity in my incubator up. I'm not sure if it's the humidifier or what. I'm hatching eggs for a photographer so it's a bit time sensitive. The first batch has been in the incubator for almost a week. I'm afraid they won't hatch. The humidity varies from 30%-80%...

Ok so last night something caught one of my call ducks closed fence ate everything except the head and one wing. Other birds untouched. Please help. Oh and I'm in southern Ontario.
Ok so I live in southern Ontario Canada. It's starting to cool off now so my ducks have not laid at all in the past few weeks and I've seen my male breed them once. Is the laying season over now? Or are my ducks old. I got. A few new ones and they never laid. I'm not sure if it was because they...
