They are hatching early, they haven't been in lockdown yet, they are internally piping, and moving and shaking. I took them out of the auto Turner and put them all in hatch mode. I wasn't expecting to see internal piping until Saterday. Are they going to die? They are khaki Campbell Ducks. Did...
This is Tasty duck and I am so proud that I have to post! He just won Best Waterfowl in Show at the Dutchess county Fair. He and his girlfriend are my first ever ducks and there was quite a bit of competition. She won first in the Khaki Campbell class. I really can't believe they won. To think...

There were two that I thought were the same but when I looked again one has feathered legs and one doesn't. I didn't expect the face tufts that have shown up either. Anyone know what they are? Also they were straight run so if you can tell my boys or girls that would be cool!

So my mom told me three weeks after the fact (we no longer live at home) that one of our two remaining chickens was attacked by a hawk. I took a look at her and she is really torn up. She is eating and drinking and seems like she is doing well and I know its been a really long time but her...
I have 16 chicks 3 I grew myself and the rest I got from TSC. Two or three days ago I noticed a sneeze. Now I am hearing more of them. I am worried. They are eating medicated chick food and water. The water did have Electrolytes in it but I ran out and need to get more. They are almost 2 weeks...
I posted this in the injured forum but no one had any idea so lets see if you folks can help. The chick is 2 days old and had a rough time hatching. It was never able to stand and had to be washed to get goo off. One leg is fine. the other wont bend it can move it but it just wont bend enough to...
The chick is 2 days old and had a rough time hatching. It was never able to stand and had to be washed to get goo off. One leg is fine. the other wont bend it can move it but it just wont bend enough to get underneath so it can stand. It is so strong and chirps a lot. It uses its good leg to...
Omg I did it!!!!!!!! I have a baby!!! I thought I killed them and I was gonna throw them away. I left the door to the room open but I got distracted all day and it remained that way. I was just putting my hair in curlers and my Fiancé went to close the door and noticed my cat staring at the...
I have a Hova-bator.
My Lockdown is scheduled for today but my hydrometer hasn't arived yet!!!! Do I lockdown or wait!?!!?! How do I know how much water to put in? I have a styrofoam still air incubator. Like half a cup of water?? Someone told me a wet sponge would do, is this true?
I have a turner and I want to know if I should have been flipping them while using the turner because I haven't been. I feel like I did so much research and yet I know nothing about doing this. They are growing though!!! Day 15!!!
I started my eggs incubating 3 days ago but I don't have a hygrometer and I am having a hard time finding one in a store. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what stores I should be looking in? Also what are some good brands? The eggs are doing well and I saw something going on inside.
I think I am confused its my first time at all of this.
I got a beautiful Light Brahma on Tusday afternoon and we put him in at night when the girls were sleeping. Should I be getting fertile eggs? Can you tell if you don't incubate them? I was under the impression that they will start to...
I have a flock of 15. All my girls are Red Sex Links and the Roo, I just got him yesterday, is a beautiful Light Brahma. (They are all getting along so well and he is so nice to the girls, I am very happy about this!)
I want to do chicks for Easter I have homes for them already. They are...
