I am getting a couple goose eggs, I have had zero luck hatching ducks with my incubator but great success with chickens. My question is should I incubate the goose eggs like a chicken in my incubator or would it be best to put them under my broody muscovy duck?

Hello, my turkeys hatched yesterday and one chick still isn’t able to walk or stand. The others from this clutch are doing great. What should I do or is this normal? I’ve never hatched turkeys before so this is all new to me. Thank you so much
I went into my turkey pen today and I’ve had 2 broody hens sitting on 12 eggs, today I’m down to 7 eggs and about 20 feet from their nest box I found an empty egg shell...I looks like a finger just pressed down on it but I can’t see peak marks or anything on how it happened

Hello, my rooster, LJ, is 5 years old and about a month ago he was attacked by something. No idea what, but I found a trail of his feathers through my yard and he came to "dinner" late that night. His tail and some back feathers were missing, but thankfully very minor flesh injuries. He refused...
