    Hope everyone had a good chrissy and new years. Just a quick question how long do ducklings stay on duck starter for before moving onto the next level of feed?

    that what I did. it was fully formed but had not consumed the yolk, and little duckling that did hatch died... poor little thing was snuggled against the wall of the coop outside the nest and yet she still insists on siting on the nest. At the end a complete fail hatch.

    Just a question for anyone that has hatched under a duck/chicken I have one that hatched already but there seems to be no hatching happening with the other eggs. Although all 3 were there all at the same time and seem to grow at the same rate except for one which she stole about a week of so...

    Muscovy duck question hatching egg under duck

    Hi first time allow a duck to hatch some eggs, her eggs are at day 35 but ducks still havent broken into the airsac but are really pushing against it as you can see a shadow in the airsac when candling. How long would others leave them before intervening? They are still alive at the moment.

    My black and white scovie duck gibbs is sitting on eggs...they are about 28 days in but they do have a little poop on them as she will not get off those eggs as far as i have seen. Should I clean them if so with what? Or will duckies be fine? This pic was taken a few days ago.

    I am concerned about one of the eggs that one ailkie us sitting on. Even though she is isolated from the others one eggs shell has a what looks like a dents and is cracked... i dont think it has broken into where the baby is but still worried about infections getting into the little thing...
