    Duckling with spraddle leg - - how long to keep bandaids on?

    The little fellow is eating and drinking...and without the bandaids manages to get around. But with the bandaids, it can stand up straight. I expect the answer is to leave them on until it can walk properly. But, can anyone tell me about how long that should be? Thanks!

    Pekin eggs rocking at day 22...sound right?

    Day 22 is today...don't know when the duck eggs were laid, but they've been in the incubator for 22 days. Today, the eggs started rocking quite a bit. We've hatched chicken eggs, but not duck eggs. Is rocking at day 22 normal for duck eggs or should I expect an earlier than expected hatch...

    Question...switching from turning by hand to auto turner

    This is our first experience with Duck eggs. We have 12 eggs that look great at 11 days. Considering some of the eggs were 7+ days old and had just been placed in a box until we started incubating them, I'm feeling good about our success thus far. My dilemma is...we have to leave town for a...

    Serama died in egg...top half of beak didn't develop

    Just curious to know if any others have experienced this... The egg developed great...only candled 3 times during incubation, but it was growing as expected. The egg was the most active rocker of them all. Since its hatching date had come and gone, I opened the egg to see why it didn't...

    Shipped eggs & blood rings?

    Tonight, I candled 17 shipped eggs. 9 were set on 2/10 and 8 were set on 2/12. The eggs set on 2/10 got lost in the mail for 7 days and may have traveled through some very cold weather. Of these 9 eggs: - 5 had blood rings - 3 were cloudy - 1 had an embryo that was visibly...

    Are there wild bird eggs that can be incubated for release?

    We live on a lake in South Carolina and would enjoy repopulating the wild bird population. I've read many articles about why or why not this practice is a good idea for quail and ducks...to the extent that I'd choose to err on the side of caution and not release either if them. I'm also aware...
