My silkie hen has hatched and dried 8 of her chicks, there are still a few eggs in there that haven’t hatched. I can hear them peeping inside the egg, but they haven’t pipped. All the others chicks are dried out and ready to go. Do the others need help? Mom is still sitting in the nest with her...
My female duck just recently hatched some ducklings.
She has been extremely broody during the whole process, and isn’t that fond of interaction with people as it is.
I would like to hold the ducklings and get them used to being around people, so that they are a bit friendlier than she is once...
