I have a 10 week old (female I think) pekin. I hatched her from an incubator. I only have two other pekin (her parents) I've tried several times to let her go with them and my male attacks her. I though he was just showing dominance but he pins her down and will not let up. She's been in a...

HELP! I have a chicken egg I noticed pipped this morning but he hasn't broken the white membrane under the shell. I noticed it around 730 so it's been at least 3 hours ( probably a bit longer). I have a duck egg that's also hatching in the same incubator . I haven't seen the chicken egg move...

I have 2 duck eggs and 20 chicken eggs in the incubator due to hatch in 2 days. Today I noticed one of my duck eggs pipped. I know you are not supposed to open the incubator until they are all hatched and mostly dry, but this guy may be quite a bit ahead of the others. How long can he stay in...

EDITED TO CORRECT HOW FAR EGGS ARE. My husband called this morning and said my cousins dog ran in the house and knocked down a lot of things. He was in a hurry so didn't get to check the incubator. When I got home this afternoon it was the first thing I looked at and I'm devastated. It was...

I'm on day 7 with two pekin duck eggs. I noticed veining on day 3 or 4. I watched a few videos and on day 7 you can see the embryo. When I candles my eggs today I saw more veining but half the egg is dark. It wasn't completely dark in the room though. I'm candling from the top (through the...

Hey everyone. I'm still pretty new to this. I have a small flock of mixed breed chickens. I'm wanting to get some pure bred (Sussex to be exact). If I do this would I be able to tell if I have pure bred Sussex chicks or would they all be considered mixes? I'm thinking I'd get rid of my...

Small comb but colorful and Sadler feathers look rooster?

I got quite a few chickens a few months ago. I was wondering if could give me a guess on the breed. Very tame. The lighter hen is more like a gentle puppy and the darker hen isn't shy about pecking you, especially if you are carrying food. So far the rooster hasn't shown any aggression but...

So I hope this isn't a dumb question, but can I put pekin duck eggs and chicken eggs together in an incubator. I'm getting an incubator tomorrow and my pekin duck has only laid four eggs so i was thinking about putting some chicken eggs in with them. Thanks

Hi everyone! I got a male and female pekin duck Christmas eve. The previous owner told us that the female lays an egg a day and she lays them all over. Over the next four days she laid an egg a day, in random places, and i'd collect them and place them in her nest. She has gone in the nest...

Hi from Louisiana. My parents had a range of animals growing up and I recently got chickens and a pair of ducks. I look forward to learning from all of you. My chickens are so spoiled. I just started letting one of my hens keep her eggs, so I'm hoping she will set. She has six eggs this...
