    Need ducky egg info

    Ok I have 6 eggs in my incubator that are due Saturday however when I put them on lockdown 2 of them had their beaks into the aircells already. The other 4 I couldnt see much, too dark which I am assuming is a good sign? One of them, a pekin, pipped last night and fully hatched about noon today...

    pond cleaning

    Is there any type of fish I can get to help clean my pond? The ducks have it looking really nasty and I have no electricity down there so I can't run an aerater (Sp?) My husband said use suckers, no idea what kind of fish those are and where would I find them?

    Egg cleaning

    OK, I am stumped. My girls have been laying for a few weeks now and I can't get clean eggs! I completely stripped and cleaned their house and refilled it with shavings, a nice thick layer of them, I still got dirty eggs! Is there anyway to get decently clean eggs? I don't want to have to wash...

    Paypal & Hatcheries

    Does anyone know any hatcheries that sell ducks besides Ideal that accept paypal? I sell a lot on ebay and it's a pain to transfer money to my account and then have to sit and wait for it to arrive then order, especially when you see a good deal and want to jump onit. Sigh. So anyone know any?

    Loch Ness Monster

    I learned something last night that I thought would make an interesting subject so I'm going to post it here. The theory of the origin of the Loch Ness monster "Nessie" is that it is a plesiosaurus that survived the ice age. Now I know chickens are closely related to dinosaurs and I know that...

    Chocolate turkeys

    I bought 7 turkeys tonight from a breeder and had a few questions. It looks like they are 2 different breeds but he assured me that they were all chocolate turkeys, just in different color phases. Some are spotted chocolates and some are dark chocolates, can anyone explain how this is possible...

Anyway, I can't seem to get turkeys around here and now I have one little lone turkey about to hatch and he'll be alone all winter unless I can...

    hatching stress

    Ok, last night my duck egg was rocking every now and then, this morning, nothing, though the chick that has already hatched keeps pecking at the egg. Should I be worried? Temp is 99.5 and humidity is 55%.

    a muscovy ? and a wing ?

    I think one of my ducks has angel wing, and I can't fix it. I have tried vet wrap, panty hose, tape, etc. and she manages to take it off every time. You only really see it when she swims, it looks like one wing tip is sticking straight up into the air (sorry no pics out of room on my camera)...

On lockdown, (today) I had 10 cortunix quail...

    I have 2 cayugas that are 12 weeks old, both female. They both developed beautiful black feathers with green sheens.
