I think the last time i had chicks inside under heat they stayed in for roughly 3 ish months. The weather was a bit wishy washy and i just generally wasnt sure. Thanks for all of the advice. Its been extreamly helpful and i might start to incubate within the next week so i hope it works out a...

I have a small rabbit hutch in the duck house and there is a small space next to that and the wall so there is 3 potential nests in a row, them just seem to prefer to lay in the one area next to the hutch. My last set of ducklings were hatched in the hutch

Yes most of them hatched and i might take all of the eggs out and let them start over because the nest just looks trampled and ignored now. Then i will write numbers on them so i know which the first ones are to remove them. How long will it take fror them to sit? Its been about a month of...

Thankyou for all of the information. I will try my best with the hatch. The last egg stored would have been 3-5 days ago and the first could be up to 2 weeks. I have an automatic incubator so hopefully this will be better than my last incubator which i used only twice and each time i got 2...

I have just let nature take its course so to speak with the amount of eggs. My neighbour had around 30 eggs under a call duck before so i thought it would be okay. Please tell me if thats wrong though. How do i add more protein into their diets?

How long can you leave eggs in the cool before they get incubated? I have a mixture of 6 chicken eggs i;d like to incubate but don;t know if they've been left too long (2-3 weeks tops)

I have 6 call ducks and all of the females that are laying are laying in the same nest. At first the nest was gaining at least 1 egg everyday. When i had roughly 21 eggs, i noticed the amount of eggs decreasing down to roughly 17 and there was yolk and broken egg all over the nest. Today i...

Hi. I am interested in maybe showing my Pekins next year at a local agricultural show. At what age can I start preparing them for showing - like getting them used to being in cages and handled etc? Also, is there anything else i need to show them? Equiptment, routie, preening, or anything else...

Yesaterday 2 pekin bantam chicks hatched on day 22. However, i checked the other 2 eggs in the bator and one has internally pipped but no external and the other one doesnt seem to be doing anything. Should i make an external pip to see if he needs help or is still ali9ve?
