    First time incubating!

    Hello! I posted this question a while back but didn't get much feedback. I'm hoping this post will get a little more attention! I am doing research to prepare for my first time incubating eggs. I have read that I need to keep the eggs in 50⁰ temperature until I am ready to incubate them. Is this...

    Eggs from nest to incubator?

    I'm wanting to incubate some eggs from my flock. I was wondering if I can pull them straight from the nest and into the incubator?? Do they have to sit at room temperature for a while first? I've even seen that they should sit at around 55°F at an angle for a while?? Can someone clear this up...

    Is my duckling okay??

    One of my 2-week old Blue Swedish ducklings fell out of its brooder!! :( It has been about 2 days since it happened, thankfully he/she isn't showing any signs of injury... but should I be worried at all?? The brooder is about 3ft off the ground. Thanks!

    Breed ID??

    I bought these from a local breeder as 2-day olds. He didn't know what breed the parents were, but he showed me a picture. From what I saw there was a White Chinese, Roman Tufted, and perhaps a mix (light brown and white spotted). I may be wrong but those breeds don't add up in comparison to...

    Too young to sex?

    I currently have 8 Blue Swedish ducklings who are 2 weeks old. I ordered them from a hatchery and got 1 male who was marked with a rubber band. As the days past it got too tight and had to be removed. My temporary fix was to polish the male's toenails while I waited to get larger bands. However...

    How can I be sure that I am providing my geese with the correct ratio of feeds?

    I currently have four 1.5 month old geese. I have already experienced and cured angel wing on 3 of them, so I don't want anything like that to happen again. I am currently feeding feeding them a 1/3 20% protein chick starter, 1/3 cracked corn, and 1/3 oats ratio. I am not able to find any feed...
