    Air cell at wrong end?

    So I set a batch of eggs into the incubator and we’re four days in, and I noticed a few things this evening that I somehow missed during the initial check. One of the eggs has the air cell at the pointy end and I don’t know if that makes it bad for incubation or not. There’s also one egg that...

    Injured Duck Not Eating

    Hi everyone, Three nights ago (12th September), there was an attack on our ducks with one missing, one injured and the following night, a drake was killed. The injured duck we found lying under a bush, conscious but not moving. When we inspected her she just seemed to have some broken and/or...

Duckling #2 is yellow with a dusty brown head (one of their mothers was that colour as a duckling and she grew up to be white with a grey...

    Breed Opinions

    Hi all, So we're trying our hand at incubating again. Currently I have 14 Muscovy eggs (of questionable viability as the mother is a fairly new, young layer) and 8 King Quail eggs that may or may not be incubated as well. I'm looking into getting some more fertile eggs of ducks or chickens...

    Weak 2-day-old Duckling

    Hi, I'm new here so I have no idea if this is in the right place or not... Two days ago, we hatched a Muscovy duckling by sheer luck or accident, I don't know which. After none of the eggs hatched and the due date had come and gone, we cracked them open and found two of them still had live...
