I just put 6 of my Coturnix quail's eggs into the bator today. Last year I tried with 24 shipped eggs and only got 1 hatch. But this year I am pretty excited to have my own quails laying fertile eggs!!! Not sure how high the fertility rates are but we shall find out! I also have a friend who...
I am incubating my own eggs for the first time with a real incubator! I have 24 Coturnix quail eggs and they are on day 3! Please join me if you are hatching your own batch of quails or just want to come along for the ride!
So I have never had quails before and I have an incubator on the way so I ordered some eggs that were supposed to be shipped after the New Year, but they were shipped before and somehow the postal service got them all the way here already and my incubator is still on is way! I believe its going...
PLEASE AnSWER even if you only answer one question I would still appreciate it! Thanks.
So I just found 6 eggs today, I know three are from this morning but the other three I found hiding and are possibly 2 to 3 days old. So I have a few questions.
My male is injured right now so I don't...
My Black Swedish drake named Bear is literally flopping around because his leg wont hold him when he walks. Oddly he seems to be able to stand okay most of the time (minus the occasional loss of balance). I've read a lot of other postS about hurt legs and broken legs but I don't know if this is...
So I just got four little ducklings and I got them non medicated chick starter but the store I got them at didn't have any niacin, and I know ducks need more then chicks so I was wondering if anyone knew what form I should get? I heart you can get it from drug stores but do they make some...
Here are my four new babies. I believe I have three Magpies, and one Welsh Harlequin but if you think its something else feel free to comment! Oh and earlier I asked a question about cats... Originally I was expecting my oldest cat Mixie, to be the one to take interest in the ducklings, but it...
I live in Washington State, and the two best known places in my area that I go to get feed and/or ducklings are Del's and Kiperts. Now I normally go to Del's but I was wondering if people could give me more opinions which they like better, and also do you know of any other places?
So I am just trying to get some more ideas of things to give ducklings as treats (Ducks too). With my first set of ducklings I found they liked salmon, dried plums, oats, and small or cut up worms. I tried some other fruits and they normally either didn't like them or got bored quickly.
What...
When I got my first batch of ducklings last year, and I introduced my cats to them, the ducklings were not scared of the cats at all and the cats where interested but terrified of the ducks. I hoped they could be friends but I never trusted the cats alone with them and it always seemed like they...
Last year I got my first ducklings, all four of them were different breeds, and I loved raising them, but unfortunately the first was sick when I got him and died pretty quick. Then two more passed away after a few months and it wasn't until then that I finally was able to find suggestions on...
