    Considering a second Breed

    We have Sebastopols and I am looking into a second breed for meat and eggs. We've looked at, are considering, and would like opinions from those who have of have had Pilgrim, Toulouse, Emben, or some other really good producer. We are not looking to cross with the Sebbies - each breed will...

    What do to with a VERY cracked egg, chick peeping

    Found it this evening just outside the duck's nest. Very cracked, about 1/3 of the shell coming off the membrane, and some blood. It's in the incubator for now, shuold it survive, sounds like a chick, vs. a duck too - not that there's a lot of difference. I've looked through several threads...

    Moving a broody duck on a nest

    In another corner, we have two droody ducks that are sitting on two nests. When I bought them, I was told we could wait until they hatched to move them. Due to circumstances, we had to move them yesterday. What a Fiasco! First one stayed on the nest until I had it out of the housing, I put...

    Day 33

    We're on the 33rd day of incubating. Friday we had our first egg pip. Saturday we watched and watched. By evening there was a bit more showing and you could see movement from breathing. Sunday morning there was even more exposed. But at 2PM there was no more movement and more more sound...

    New way to check eggs?

    I was dunking the eggs this evening, and put all of the oldest into the pail of water. They have all been floating for about a week now. As I was re-arranging a few things, the eggs had time to get still in the warm water. As I went to put them all back in, I noticed some movement from...

    Zombie Attack Duck!

    It was our second pair of ducks, Anconas. The first pair we had were Pekins, seemed normal enough, quieter than chickens, and more noble looking too. The Anconas seemed about the same at first, but after a short time, things changed. They weren't afraid of people, unless you had a stick...

    Incubator gone nuts?

    Duck eggs, we're on day 24 on five eggs and 17 on other fifteen. When I got up this morning, the temp was just below 80, I checked last night before I went to bed - so it wasn't but for about six hours. I adjusted the temp up and put the eggs in warm water. Got the temp adjusted properly as I...

    Looking for Sebastopols

    Over at the Sebastopol Geese Loves forum I started a post like this: single white female gosling, about six weeks old, looking for a mate... Thought it might be an attention getter! I've been looking all over the internet for seb goslings or eggs. I'd even take an adolesent female of any...

    Gosling troubles - 2 Sebs.

    All was well until today. The male got chilled a bit, brought the pair in and put them under a light. We put dry straw bedding in with some hand pulled grass and a bowl of water. After awhile he began to warm up and started to respond somewhat better. But, he shakes his head A LOT. He's...

    Howdy from Point of Windsor

    We're out in the Northern Neck of Virginia, about 20 miles from Wakefield (Washington's Birthplace). We've had chickens and gunieas for years, the flocks are considerably smaller (3 and 1), but will be built back up some this year. We picked up some ducks last year and should get several more...
