I have 3 duck eggs in my incubator, they have all internally pipped, are rocking, and peeping and lockdown isn't until Wednesday! Should I just go ahead with my scheduled lockdown on Wednesday or go ahead and start? My humidity is staying in the 50s right now.
My little duckling just tried to get out of the shell and you can still see the yolk. It's not that large but when it started moving around it started to bleed. What should I do if anything?? I know I should leave it in the bator to absorb the yolk but what do I do about the bleeding?
So I am hatching duck eggs and they were shrink wrapped. I attempted to moisten the membrane (one went great and I was able to get it's beak out so it can breath) the other one didn't go so great. It started bleeding and now I don't know what to do. Is there anything I can do to help this duck...
I set 3 duck eggs on 5/5. These were the last eggs I could gather from the Ancona and Duclair ducks that had showed up behind my house during the winter. They turned out to be abandoned ducks that were looking for someone to feed them. I took care of them until I moved and my neighbors took over...
I am wanting to get a couple rabbits and I was wondering if there was a certain breed known to be calm and friendly? I know every animal has their own personality and even breeds know for being nice can have a mean one in the bunch. Is there any breeds I should avoid also. I'm just looking for...
I am new to chickens. I'm getting ready to order my chicks and Ive been trying to find out everything I'll need to know before they get here. My first question is will it be ok to keep the chicks in my garage with their heat lamp? The temps here are only getting in the lower 50s for the most...
I have two 2-wk old Rouen ducklings. I just found out I will be moving within the next month and will have no place for my ducks. They come with a bag of chick starter feed and almost a full bag of pine shavings. I live in Wyoming county but can meet in the Beckley area if needed.
This is my first time trying to hatch eggs. I think I have Ancona and duclair duck eggs. I made an incubator and set my eggs on the 23rd. I joined the Easter Hatch-a-long but just wondering if there are any other inexperienced hatchers??
I am new to BYC as well as ducks! I had 7 ducks show up in my yard about a month ago which as far as I can tell are Ancona ducks and duclair ducks. I started feeding them and they've moved right in. I've been collecting the eggs that they seem to lay everywhere and put them in an incubator I...
These guys showed up behind my house in the creek about a month ago I'm not sure what kinds they are. By what I can tell some look like Ancona and some like Duclair but I'm really not sure. I've collected eggs and have got them in an incubator. Can anyone tell what they might be?
