About a year ago, I saw someone on youtube hatch a duck egg with their own body heat. He went through (carefully) how he did each step and made sure to video log each new thing he discovered!
... Needless to say, ever since I watched that I have thought "What if I do it myself?"
So my question...
My friend has 4 ducks. 2 muscovy females and 2 pekins. The drake is a big pekin. He is biting and driving away one of the young female muscovies.. would there be a specific reason why? Methods to stop it??
Hello Community! Yesterday, I saw some small "lifting" of the shell (like a pip) but it hadn't broken the membrane or very much of the shell. I simply assumed that the chick inside had made their internal pip and pushed hard on the inner wall of the shell. A few eggs have this, I think. Its day...
Hello! I am trying to make a decision on what is best to buy for my current situation. In 12 days, I will have an 1-30 little quailings hatching from their eggs. It is the midwest and getting chillier. The first brooder will be inside until they are older. I am really uncertain about what to get...

Has anyone ever bought from sweet_tweets_quail on Ebay? Is that a reliable buyer? They seem to have alot of eggs so I am assuming someone on this forum must have bought from them before.... any thoughts anyone?!
Dear Community,

Dear Community,
I have some eggs soon to be set into the incubator but I am a first timer and I have a few questions that the internet just doesn't seem to have a direct enough answer for. Firstly, If I do open the incubator in the last three days, is it really as bad as I have heard...
