My newly hatched duckling can't hold her head up or walk very long. She will eat and drink with some help and desperately wants to play and be a regular duck. Can I syringe feed brewer's yeast? Any help is appreciated.
What are your thoughts about an incubation service? Instead of a huge farm, I would do it locally and make sure I got the eggs from reputable farms, and they aren't all related, etc. Someone would come to me to grow their flock. I would buy the eggs and charge them just what I paid and then an...
My new little mallard has a curled foot. I saw something about putting painter's tape. But the babe was just born about 3 hours or less ago. When should I put the tape? Tomorrow maybe?
PRAY FOR A SAFE HATCH FOR MY 8 DUCKLINGS. My 11 Khakis found wonderful homes on land with ponds! I am still getting calls. I am thinking I will incubate and give away locally every year, or start raising them on our land and give some to others. It was so sweet to see one lady cry to get free...
I prematurely helped the ducky, and its yolk wasn't absorbed. No biggie it has been all wrapped up with the membrane and back half of the egg intact. Very very little bleeding occurred. However, I don't think the baby can push out of the membrane due to zero leverage since its egg is mostly...
A lot of my ducks are beginning to peck and roll around. No external hole or internal hole yet that I can see but the eggs are rolling and the ducks are pecking. Should I put my incubator in to lock down today instead of tomorrow at 4pm? They started pecking last night. I can also see most of...
Hi guys! Happy Passover and Good Friday. My Duckies 🦆🦆 go into lock down on Sunday ✝️ and I am not sure with these huge air cells if I should keep them in the carton 🥚🥚 to hatch or hatch them on their side? Also, one has a small air cell ☁️, and my humidity has been high 🚿 on purpose due to the...
I still am unsure due to these wonky air cells if I should lay the eggs on their side to hatch or keep them at a 45-degree angle in a carton. There are 12 of them. Any ideas are welcome! Help a first-time hatching duck mom out lol. :bow🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
Hi y'all! I am new to the group, and I am so excited to hatch my first ducklings. I found this on Google, and I immediately started gathering information from the forum. You guys know your stuff!! I look forward to helping others as I gain knowledge and experience over time. For now, I am just...
This is my first time hatching and incubating duckling eggs and the humidity in Louisiana is super high already, but I have added water to the incubator because of the air cells. even the normal air cells look like they are the correct size for the embryo's age. What could go wrong from keeping...
I had duck eggs shipped to my home and I am incubating them in two Janoel24 incubators. The ducks are growing well but the air cells are enormous and misshapen in the vast majority of the eggs. I read in an old forum that they hatch normally. Anyone else have experience incubating and hatching...
