gratz Looks great yea yucky but great all my duck eggs look just like that yuck. I freaked out the first few times don't feel bad you did good. in an hour or so he will be all fluffy and 3 times the size with all the fluff GOOD JOB
he looks good long as he can get his feet to the edge to push the shell off your good he'll probable do the rest him self long as he is frisky. He is a pretty little duck.
long as its not bleeding your ok that yuck is normal it looks like snot. just don't let that snotty stuff dry out then it gets stuck to the feathers and sticks them in there like glue
yes i keep humidity right between 65 and 70 appon lock down but or 5 day before there due to hatch. I always fill my incubator up first with the 5 duck eggs then normally and 10 turkey eggs and 30 chicken eggs i put then so they all hatch about the same time and lock down will all be about the...
Like to incubate some eggs from them now that gobbles has welcomed them I put an add on the radio here its free but no response people dump animals here all the time i just have never seen turkeys dumped lol i suppose it possible. normally its dogs or cats :( . Far as feed we have an open...
Wow i bet you are so right. I wonder how far a turkey will travail like that. i thought it was a very small foot print how far a turkey would travel mine stay right here in the yard and the wild one stay right here on the property.
I had the same thought but there is no one around here that have any turkeys at all. not even chickens within 5 or 6 miles so i don't know. What is also strange about these 3 that they look quite a bit darker then the turkeys around here. You know wild turkeys have a brownish stripy color these...
I have had problems with my ducks doing the same thing shrink raping but this is how i have save many of them. Mine or black Swedish ducks but it shouldn't make any difference. Normally they can pip but then they have trouble getting out almost all of mine do. So once they pip i normally pick...
The three wild turkeys show up today in my small barn yard. Gobbles my male bourbon decide to take up courting with these three but skips the courting and gets right to business with the three. Last night they didn't leave and as you can see by my blurry pictures that my husband is right next...
This little one Past away today. he never held his head up really and never learned to walk. I don't think if he would have lived he would have made it in the coop with the rest.
On the happy side i now have 5 more new little ducklings and they are doing great.:)
This little duck is just hatching and seems to be fine so far except for the lump on his little head. What is it?
he hatched ok except for the last bit he is stuck in his shell and has almost totally absorbed the yoke i can see a little left so i am letting him be. The lump is soft and...
