hello! i recenlty hatched out some chukar. I ended up with 18 of them. I know I dont want to keep them all and I was wondering what they usually go for if sold? I am in ct and have not been able to find any prices to compare them too. anyone ever buy these birds?
3 days ago i was given 2 hens the first day i got them they both layed an egg. the one on the left is from day 1. this morning which is day 3 of having them i found the egg on the right in the nesting box. any ideas why it has that white ring around it? ive never seen anything like it
so i got some local duck eggs to hatch today. I never wash my eggs before incubating but these seem pretty dirty. wondering if their is another way to clean them or if i should just leave them alone?
good morning everyone ! Ive had had and hatched quail in the past and I really miss having a smaller bird in my backyard. I have ben seeing chukar eggs for hatching here and there and wanted to know if anyone has raised these birds? I hear the eggs are just as good and the meat from these birds...

hello everyone! I love hatching eggs and I have used a hova bator a couple times and built 2 incubators ...one out of an aquarium and one out of a styro cooler both work great and i am currently using them. However i would like somethin easier to control and more sturdy. I have 2 boys a baby on...
I have duck eggs in the bator ...magpies, cayugas and sweedish. I really want to try not to handle the eggs and was wondering what other people do for candleing. Do you candle more than once or wait until day 25 before moving them out of the turner? Thank you!
well I did post in ducks and I know this is for chickens BUT I have DUCK EGGS IN MY INCUBATOR!!! keeping my fingers crossed that the power doesnt go out! (did that to me last storm when i was incubating :( ...) poor planing lol?! I am going to be starting chicken eggs in another bator in a week...
so i just put a dz ducks in the incubator yesterday! keeping my fingers crossed that we dont lose power! guess i could have planned that a little better! lets see what we end up with I have a mix of magpies, sweedish and cayugas!
so i hatched out some quail a couple weeks ago. i ended up with 35 out of 40 eggs! pretty good hatch rate ! however some were born with deformities in their legs and since they have died off. i didnt think anything of it seeing as how they were the weak ones but now almost every day i havefind...

so in the past 2 weeks i have completed 2 hatches. My first got me 4 out of 5 chicks not bad. My second one i had 12 eggs, i have 4 chicks from it, 4 didnt even start to hatch, 2 died before making it out of the shell , and 2 died after they hatched. and now i have a chick who hatched with no...
so i went out this morning and saw my silkie dead with its leg eaten ! i live in the middle of the city and have never seen anything bigger that a blue jay in my yard. would this be from a cat?
