We have a young pair of Buff Toulouse geese and we love them, along with all of our ducks. Our pair of geese were hatched June 7th, 2020 and shipped to us from Metzer Farms. This is their first season of breeding and laying eggs/nesting. Our female, Tilly, started laying in the horrible...

I found a strange duck egg in their coop this morning. Can anybody help me identify what happened and if this is something that might happen with young hens that have only been laying one or two weeks? It appears to be the membrane ... either extra membrane, or that the egg may have gotten the...

Our male Buff goose is just about 8 & 1/2 weeks old and we are at the avian vet as an emergency. He has swallowed a portion of a length of baling twine from a square bale of hay! I could not remove it and I fear he has swallowed about 2 & 1/2 feet of the length. We had prepared their enclosure...

Was this little Muscovy duckling duckling backward in position in its egg? It successfully hatched this AM, but it appeared to have its head toward the smaller end of the egg. It had externally pipped in the correct place on the egg and did a successful 360 degree zipping, so I was surprised at...

We ordered and picked up 6 Muscovy eggs from a hatchery in our region. All 6 eggs are fertile, but for some reason on day 6 of incubation, one of the eggs developed a detached air cell. I have had the egg standing in a toilet paper core ring since that time and have tilted it at least 3 times...

Last Tuesday (the 20th) I picked up 6 Muscovy duck eggs at a nearby hatchery. It was about an hour away by car. The eggs were safely in a carton on the way home and the drive was mostly smooth. When I arrived home, I weighed and candled all 6 eggs and all 6 looked good with excellent air cells...

We are on day 24 of incubation of our 8 shipped Ancona duck eggs. I have been seeing the eggs move a bit for 2 days. Lockdown starts tomorrow evening. I briefly candled the most active eggs tonight and saw lots of movement inside the eggs. The aircells have really grown the last few days! This...

I have 8 Ancona duck eggs that were shipped from NC to OK. All 8 were fertile and have been developing perfectly when candled. However, one egg had no movement when candled on day 18. I checked again this evening and still see no movement in that one egg, although I can see distinct movement in...

I have received beautiful Ancona eggs that were very lovingly and safely packed for shipment to us. They arrived at our post office yesterday and I have had them setting in their carton on the counter to acclimate to room temp. I have candled them and all the air cells are in the correct...

Hello to each of you. We are on our farm in central Oklahoma, enjoying country life. We have lived on our farm 22 & 1/2 years and loved every minute. Although tornado season can be a bit too exciting, we love living in a rural area with each other and our animals, and our highlights are the...
