I have a female duck I am about to start on antibiotics - the males were very rough and her head wounds appear infected. My question is - is it okay for a healthy duck to get the meds, too? I have another female penned with her for company and want to make sure both can have the antibiotics...

I am struggling with this one and I guess I just need someone else's opinion. I have a duckling who's knee joints appear to be fused. Both legs. He is sitting up, alert, ans trying to walk but those legs just don't unbend. Does this have any chance of resolving or should he be culled?

My ducks are on the way out of their eggs. The first one came a bit early and was developmentally behind but I am pleased to say today is day three and the baby does better every day! The other 4 have been in hatching process for about 36 hours and still not out. They have large enough holes to...

This is my first time using an egg turner. Iam just over two weeks in (some duck, some chicken and I know they have different hatch times, have a seperate bator set up for hatching) but I have noticed that a few of the eggs seem to have stopped progressing and moving. So I got looking into it...

I don't have an accurate count on what day we are at with these eggs - I gathered them from hens, and they'd been out for a day or two already. Might be a few days between each ones hatching date. The first one hatched two days ago but unfortunately did not make it. The second one is making...

I'm having a super hard time getting humidity to rise in my incubator. Its at just over 50% now, and its pipping time! I had one chick successfully hatch out but unfortunately didn't make it later on. The others are getting very close (these were gathered from hens, so each have different end...

Hey guys! First off, hello! This is my very first post. I will make a proper introduction shortly. I am trying to hatch a small bundle of chicken eggs for the first time. These eggs are from my own hens, who were exposed to a rooster. Tonight is night 23, and I hear no sounds, and see no...
