    Putting an almost-ready egg under a newly broody duck?

    I had a sweet little broody Muscovy sitting on a clutch of 8 eggs up until 2-3 weeks ago. 5 of the 8 showed development when candled. She was near the fence in their run which extends to the end of our property. We have metal roofing panels buried under the fence to prevent the neighbor's...

    Got some new chicks today. Breed help much appreciated!

    I took my little girl to "Chick Days" at our local feed store and we ended up with 4 new little fuzzy friends. We got one RIR, one Golden Comet, and what I *thought* were 2 Silkies. The box just said "Assorted Bantams." I grabbed one black and one yellow with fuzzy legs and feet. It didn't...

    "Pecking order"? Can I do anything to help?

    Concerned about weight loss

    Today is day 7 for my Muscovy eggs. This is my first time trying to hatch anything. From the research I've done I came up with a weight loss goal of 14% total for the 5 week incubation period, or roughly 2.8% per week. My humidity has ranged from about 33-44%. I'm attempting a somewhat "dry"...

    First incubating attempt (updates/notes)

    Hi y'all! I somehow found this forum several months ago while reading about rabbits (I have 3). I'm not sure at which point I had read too much here and couldn't turn back, but my 15 Muscovy eggs and Hova Bator Genesis just arrived yesterday. I've been lurking for quite a while and soaking...
