    When will my muscovy eggs hatch?

    The last two nights when we went to check on her and the ducklings, she was in the nest while the ducklings were out. Last night when we put the babies under her she got off the nest and walked away. Because it's winter here we couldn't leave the babies out side. Put her with the others over...

    When will my muscovy eggs hatch?

    7 bubs. 1 fell out of the nest and died, 1 used the food bowl then some how got onto the wheel of the chook tractor and got in her high bucket :(. How long will she let her baby diddles go under her for, like how many weeks over night?

    When will my muscovy eggs hatch?

    Got the dates all wrong! again... lol but it has been so stressful! long story short 48 hours after internal pip, the egg shells where to hard for them to break through. All 9 had to be helped in the process. Waiting on 1 egg for him to at least absorb half of the blood veins (Membrain dried on...

    Are all frizzles really "frizzly," I thought these were but now I'm not sure...

    After about 2 or so day the wing feathers will look like they are growing out from the body. Although you can have moderately frizzled chooks that you won't be able to notice the curling of the feathers until a bit later on, when they have more feathers developed. frizzly is a gene so you...

    When will my muscovy eggs hatch?

    Hi all, I have a broody muscovy that is setting on some eggs. I'm not sure when she started to brood thats the problem, but when I candled the eggs they were all completely black except for about half a cm near the air sack. How many days till they hatch. (I know it takes 35 days), so with only...

    Are all frizzles really "frizzly," I thought these were but now I'm not sure...

    nah their frizzles, the reason as to why they aren't "frizzly" as to say, is because only about half the clutch is born with the feather mutation to curl the feathers. You could have a visually frizzled male and female produce "normal" (not frizzled) chicks. Just because they don't have the...

    Bantam eggs are late..

    The extra humidity shouldn't matter... not completely sure though :/ Also what do you mean by pipping wrong? Are they pipping around the air sack because sometimes the air sack isn't a perfect circle. As long as they are pipping at the round, fatter end then I assume all is fine

    Bantam eggs are late..

    It takes 21 for bantams and normal chicken eggs to hatch. Your normal eggs will hatch tonight or tomorrow, and your bantams won't hatch until the 2nd or 3rd of april. I would suggest to not touch the bantam eggs, and the normal eggs shouldn't be knocked at all. good luck :) make sure you post pics!

    Can They Eat Layer Mash?

    my pekins started eating layer mash at only a few weeks old (they had chick starter as well), because the surrogate mother needed that food and I couldn't not give it to her. Did them no harm at all! of course someone is going to come along saying give them chick starter cause you could cause...

    Should I be turning them in the turner?

    No, the automatic egg turner is doing it's job right if they have only 6 days left in the bator! How exciting, must post pics :)

    PLEASE HELP ME ! MY BLIND CHICKEN

    Also vets don't have very much experience with animals other than cats/dogs, so if you are that desperate to save her you will have to take her to an avian vet which is a bit hard on the wallet!

    PLEASE HELP ME ! MY BLIND CHICKEN

    Not sure how a chicken can get a seed stuck in their eye, but when my chicken had a respiratory infection her eyes poofed up and little air bubbles were forming in the corner. Maybe she has a respiratory infection but had a seed that was doing no harm to her? Hopefully she heals!
