    Hatching from the underside of the egg.

    When I set the eggs I put the air cell facing up. they are in a horizontal position. Some of them are pipping on the bottom (still on the rounded side) of the egg. Do I roll them? It is the right end, but the underneath side of the egg? Never had that happen before. Thanks!!!

    When do I stop turning Cotton Patch Geese

    I have cotton patch goose eggs in my incubator which take 30 days to hatch from what I can find out. Today is day 25. I have dropped air cells which worry me a bit. It looks like they are pressing against the air cell. When do I stop turning?

    Dropped Air Cells

    I have hatched eggs with dropped air cells before. I have some geese eggs that were shipped and the air cells didn't appear to be dropped at first. I am 2/3 way through the incubation and I can see that they are dropped a lot. Anyone have any experience with this and know what the chances are...

    Why have hens quit laying eggs?

    They're two to three years old. There are twenty of them. They eat laying pellets, leftovers, produce and we get about two eggs a day out of twenty-five all together. They have oyster shells. Is there a way to tell if they can still lay eggs?(I'm asking for a friend) Thanks!!!

    Duckling Keeping Head Close to Body

    I have one small duckling that is keeping it head close to the body, so you don't see the neck stretched out like the other ducks. It is quiet. I gave 5 ducks to the woman who gave me the eggs and kept two call ducks. She brought this little one back because she was worried it wasn't doing...

    Bad Luck Ordering Eggs

    Ordered both Sebastopol Goose eggs and Shetland Goose eggs to incubate and came up empty. I gave them time to develop, saw no veins, finally opened them up to see unfertilized eggs from appearance. One offered to send more eggs if I paid the freight. I had just used the incubator to hatch...

    Angel Wing

    My new little duckling appears to have angel wing. I have wrapped them with vet wrap before, but was thinking of cutting up a sock and using that. Has anyone tried that? Thanks.

    What Color Will This Call Duck Be???

    Wish I knew if it was a drake or female. The kids call it "Mr. Yellow" but for some reason they have changed and started calling it "Mrs. Yellow" It is the calmest of all the ducklings. I would love to know what it will look like as an adult.

    Call Duck - Is this a Drake?

    Trying to figure out which ones are drakes. Someone told me if they have a green tinge they were Drakes. Is this true? Do females have that too?

    Ordered eggs - No Veins

    I ordered goose eggs and had them in the incubator for 7 days. I haven''t got any veins. I'm so disappointed. I let them set the whole day so the air cells would be okay and they would be room temperature. They didn't appear to be too cold when I picked them up. I don't believe they were...

    Call Ducklings Nostrils

    Just hatched 7 call ducks. They are 1 week old. Their nostrils don't seem to be real developed. I'm not sure if they are blocked or just not too big. Can anyone explain or shed some light on this? Thank you! I will try to post a picture.

    Call Ducks, Last three days... Upright? Laying Down?

    I've been pretty successful hatching other ducks in the incubator upright in egg cartons with the bottom cut out. I'm hatching call ducks and I'm not sure if I should hatch them upright or down. Does anyone have any experience with this. Thanks in advance!!!
