    Assisted hatch help needed. Wrong position

    I've been assisting one of my call ducklings that internally pipped. He's doing great. The other two eggs hadn't and as it's day 26 I was afraid they were shrink wrapped. I opened up a hole (they were shrink wrapped) and added coconut oil to soften the membrane. One of them is in the wrong...

    Call ducklings pipping

    I have 3 Call duck eggs on day 25 of incubation. I don't think I have any internal pips yet. I can see movement in the air cell, but I think it's just the baby pushing on the membrane. No peeping yet. At what point should I be concerned? I really want these little ones to make it, so I don't...

    I was told these are buff ducklings...but....

    Hey y'all! I'd love a second opinion on these ducklings. I was told by the lady that she thought they were buff...but I'm wondering if they're fawn and white runners as they often hold themselves more in that penguin like stance. Obviously time will tell but I'm curious of what you think

    Thermometers disagreeing...recommendations for accuracy?

    I have five call ducks eggs in the incubator. The incubator temp itself is off (cheaper model) so I've been using two of the little thermometer/hygrometers that you can get in a pack on Amazon. However they're disagreeing by about a degree. Any recommendations for a more accurate thermometer?

    Feeding Cockerels for Processing

    Hello Y'all! So, I found out that my three 11-week old Easter Egger "pullets" are actually cockerels (Thanks to everyone on BYC who told me so!). As I cannot have that many roosters, they're going to have to go to the cooking pot. They are very skinny at present. I've been feeding them chick...
