Hello- We had a call duck hatch Tuesday. He eats and drinks well. His problem is that he can't seem to stay upright. When he does end up on his back he can't turn himself back over. What do you guys think I need to do for him? Poor little guy just lays there until we help him out.

Hello- I was curious to know how much an adult call duck typically weighs?

I had an egg that exploded. Actually it just fell apart. My best guess was that it had a crack that I didnt catch. It has only been in the incubator 3 days. It didnt get on any other eggs but is that going to impact the other eggs as well?

Hello- This is Baldy. My son picked her up at a feed store when she was less than a week old. She is now 8 weeks old. I thought she was a Silver Laced Wyandotte Hen but now I am second guessing both. What do you think? Thanks!

I am one of those victims as of last night. I thought it would be great to hear others stories and outcome. Possibly I can find a little glimmer of hope thru it all? My story: I set 40 silkie eggs Monday night. Everything looked great. I had prepped the incubator ahead of time and we...
