    Duckling seems delayed.....

    Hi duck friends. I thought of writing about one of my ducklings because I think there may be something wrong with him/her. I hatched 18 ducklings, most of them hatched on June 23rd and 24th. One was taking a little longer and only hatched on the 25th. I thought nothing of it because sometimes...

    Duck egg day 21: no more veins, is it dead?

    Hey, I have 20 duck eggs due to hatch in 7 days. I candle them every 4 days to check up on them. I had gotten rid of some that were turning black even from the outside but I'm unsure about this one. I don't see veins anymore and looks spotty. No movement either. Is it a goner?

    Tagging ducks

    Hi everyone, I incubated some duck eggs and have 6 healthy babies that are almost ready to go back to the farm I work on. The farm is free-range, and although they will have their own coops to go to at night, they will mingle with the others eventually. I'm wondering what is the best way to tag...

    HELP: Duck broke through egg but can't seem to get rid of egg around head/neck.

    Is it normal that the egg is still attached to its head? It seems like it can't stand up and shake off whatever is holding him down to the egg. Will he break out in his own?

    Hatching: to help or not to help?

    Hey all, My ducks will hatch in a about 3-4 days. I was told by some that you can help ducklings hatch if they are having issues after the first 24h. However, someone told me not too. How does this work exactly? If they don't all hatch at the same time (I have 8), when do I take them out? Do...

    Has anyone ever used a rabbit's cage?

    Hey! My ducks will hatch in about 8-9 days. I got a veryyy large rabbit cage. I intend on putting newspaper under a shelf liner in there with some towels and other warm cuddly things. Any advice? Anyone against this? I see some prefer this alternative to wood chips. Any tips for a newbie duck...

    Hey all, What a great platform! So many threads have helped me on this new journey. I currently got a new gig on a free-range farm and I volunteered to take on incubating some eggs. I received 13 and 8 were fertilized, got rid of the rest after candling on day 4. So far, I'm on Day 19 of 28 and...

    Duck egg, strange spots - but moving!

    Hey all. I've read in multiple places on here about when an egg turns bad. I have to look for some black spots and blood rings and all. I have this one egg (duck egg) that has some strange black spots - very unlike the others, and I thought immediately it was a quitter until I saw it moving in...
