    Muscovy Duck Color ID help.

    When I picked out these two babies I assumed they were probably lavender muscovies. Now that they're fledging out they definitely seem to have too much of a brown hue to be lavenders. I have three ducks numbered 1-3 in the first picture. 1 and 2 (the two I thought were lavender) are were nearly...

    Upright Egg Hatching

    I've noticed that some people will keep their eggs upright (broad side up ofc) in cartons all the way up to, and through hatch. I had always thought this would make it difficult for the chick to get out of the eggs. Would anyone happen to understand the motivation for this?

    Black Copper Marans Cornish Cross

    Does anyone have any Black Copper Marans X Cornish hybrids? If so do they retain the somewhat dark egg colour of the Marans or does it look like a standard grocery store brown egg? Does breeding a Cornish rooster to Marans hens yield sex linked birds? I'm looking to have meet birds who have eggs...

    Deformity in Hatchling Quail

    The past two days I've had quail eggs hatching without complication but today we had one hatch with multiple complications. I don't think it fully absorbed it's yolk(?) and it has some tissue sticking out of its belly and I assumed it would either dry off or the chick would die. I noticed...

    Abnormal wing growth in button quail chick.

    We recently hatched out some button quail chicks and all is going fairly well. One of the chicks has some interesting wing growth and I was wondering if it's some kind of deformity? If so is it genetic or a result of imperfect incubation/brooding conditions? Will self correct as the chick ages...

    Under developed embryos

    I candled my quail eggs today to check for development on day 5 today (20 of the 27 shipped eggs have healthy embryos in them and one I left in cause I was suspicious). All of them are kidney bean sized at this point. I crack open any eggs that clearly have no development at this stage just to...

    Hatching Eggs With Altitude Change

    I'm trying to get ahold of peacock hatching eggs, but I know they fare poorly in shipping so I'm looking to pick them up from a state that borders mine, which would be a pretty long drive. A family member of mine is a private plane pilot and would be willing to bus me out to pick up the eggs...

    Tuxedo Quail Chicks

    In a week or two I'll be receiving 25 tuxedo quail eggs and incubating them. I only want a few of them so I'm trying to find someone in Northern Virginia/the DC Metro area who would want the rest of what hatches so DM me if interested. I'm asking $1 for each chick.

    Quail Incubation Help

    Hey y'all, I'm at the very beginning of day 20 incubating a quail egg and I had not seen any movement until today when I noticed that the egg had shifted from its original position and there was some dried leakage from a safety hole on the egg. The chick hasn't pipped externally yet. I'm...

    Will a drake of a larger breed injure females of smaller breeds?

    I plan on getting some ancona ducks, runners, and welsh harlequins and I hope to keep an ancona drake in my flock. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how feasible this is? Will he injure the smaller ducks when trying to mate with them?

    Can I let my domestic ducks/geese go out in a pond that has wild ducks?

    I'm getting ducks soon and hoping to allow them to swim in a pond behind the house we're moving into. I've considered getting predator decoys to keep the wild ducks on the other side of the pond. I really just want to know if it'll be safe to allow my birds to go out on the pond with the wild...
