I am incubating six duck eggs. Three have hatched. Is this one shrink wrapped? I can't tell if I should intervene or not. Yesterday was "hatching" day.
Also there is very little room for the three that hatched and I know your not supposed to open the lid?
Hi. I have incubated 12 eggs and list electricity for hours twice during incubation.
So far I have five chicks. I had to assist one because it was shrink wrapped. If I shine a light thru the window of the incubator I can see life in the eggs. Could they be shrink wrapped? Delayed in growth from...
Should I take these chicks out of the incubator and riskarm to the other eggs I have not incubated and probably four years and got a new incubator that is much smaller and three chicks are in there and I feel like there's just not enough room for everything should I open the incubator and take...
My first chick of the twelve eggs I'm incubating hatched. Is the cord hanging from it supposed to have been sucked up by the chick? I'm not sure what it is.
Thank you
Hi
I am incubating eggs. On the sixth day our electricity went out for like 12 hours. I covered the incubator with a light blanket. When the electric came back on I candled all of the twelve eggs and every one had an embryo growing.
I candled today and they seem like they are at different...
Hi. I have chicks hatching under hens and one chick was hatched yesterday and three more so far.
I am thinking I should give the chicks food and water but the hen is still sitting on the remaining three eggs. I'm afraid of I put food and water in the coop that she will stop sitting on the...

Hi!
these wild mallards were brought to us in the middle of summer as probably newly hatched. I read that by November I should be able to tell the sex because the males will develope a green head and white ring around it's neck. In these three photos it is all for of the ducks. I think their all...
Hi!
I have 5, 5 week old bantams. They no longer require the heater inside anymore. My question is, how low of a temperature can they be comfortable in? I'm thinking of putting them out in their area of the coop for newbies, but am wondering if I should put the heater out there with them. I live...
Hi!
