My broody Brahma kept switching nests to sit on. She finally made her mind and choose one. This happened for about the first five days of incubation. It’s now about the tenth day. We through the eggs in the nest she sat on but doesn’t anymore out. Also hens laid eggs in her nest when she wasn’t...
I want a pair of adult ducks. Please reply if you know where I can find some or if you have some. I’m in middle North Carolina. By pair I mean male and female. I want a broody duck by the end of the year. I’m open for any breed besides mocovy.
I have a two and a half year old hen that is clucking like she’s broody. This is the only adnormal thing about her besides she acts mean. She has been broody before. Is she going broody?
I recently got two (I’m pretty sure) Khaki Campbell ducklings. They’re very wild. They love to run around. Anyway I would love to know they’re gender. I’m hoping for a male and a female. I don’t want to vent check. One is larger than the other. I do not know they’re age either. I just know the...
I have two khaki Campbell ducklings. Already one is louder than the other. Also it kinda looks like there getting feathers. I’ve never had khaki campbell ducks before so I don’t know them.
I had a chick hatch. Really late. It didn't pip until the 24th day. I think because of this it has messed up balance and legs. Its legs are really shaky. Its naval is a red stump. I put it with the other chicks to see. They made him bleed. This chick is adorable. What could I do? Can I put it in...
I didn’t know where to post this but it’s in a incubator so I’m posting it here. I had a chick hatch on the 25th day. It’s mostly dry and it’s stuck on its back! It can’t get off it’s back. Also there’s a red stub sticking out from its bellybutton. What do I need to do?!?!
So today at about twelve a clock a chick pipped. It is now the night time and little progress has been made. You probably think “it’s still a waiting for a yolk thing or chicks hatch at different speeds. You might be right. This egg (I think) is one of the eggs I set 24 hours later. This chick...
So 22nd afternoon I see a pip. On the 23rd after 4 out of 7 chicks hatched. Now all the chicks are out. One egg has pipped and is very exited. But it hasn’t really made progress like the others did. It pipped like 5 hours ago. I think it’s taking a nap. Anyway, I’ve opened the incubator for like...
I am on the 23rd day and 4 out of the 7 eggs I had have hatched. I have three eggs left. None of the three have pipped. They have been rolled around a lot. Do I need to worry about them. Also I just had one to hatched and the membrane left is red!! Also two of the eggs were set 18 hours later...
So I woke up on the 22nd day and one of my seven eggs pipped. Okay all fine. Right? Wrong. The hydrometer says 90%. Oh what did I do! Yesterday the humidity was at 54% and dropping so I added water. Then I woke up to this. Also the chick only pipped when I added water. Now on previous hatches...
Hi this is a hatch a-long of my 7 amerucana eggs in n my incubator. This is for information. Also there will be birth of new life. Also there will hopefully be no death. Please post
Hi I just put my 7 amerucana eggs down for lockdown. Two were infertile. I guess I did a dumb move and put the water all over the janeol 12 incubator’s bottom lockdown tray. So when I put the eggs down they got wet on the bottom. Will they be okay? Now on to the air cell. The air sacs aren’t way...
So I’m on the 12th day of 9 amerucana eggs. When I candle them(phone flashlight) about 7 of them was dark with large veins. The other ones I could only see the spots in the shell but not on bottom. Are they fertile?
Also, is it okay if their air cells are kinda smaller? I’m trying to lower the...
