Thank you for the input. He is more active today and seems to be taking a step in the right direction. I tried some sugar in the water and he drank some but not a lot (still an improvement though). I have started treating him for lice and many dead ones have fallen off of him (good sign that...

I hatched some eggs back in August resulting in a single chick due to a massive temperature spike. This one and only chick lived in a brooder in my room for months, knows his name, follows me, and now clearly doesn't know how to be a chicken. He has spent the last 3 months with the rest of our...

One so far. I'm not sure about the others, today is day 22.

I've been MIA the past week but love coming back and hearing about all the eggs that have been set and new chicks! :love My 3 remaining eggs went into lockdown and were due to hatch the 2nd. One chick made an early apperence late the night of the first :celebrate Meet peeping tom (I'm 99.9%...

I purchased 14 three week old quail just under four weeks ago. They are all housed together at the moment and I have not had the time to sex them and separate out which ones I'm keeping. This last week along with the arrival of their first eggs I have noticed a couple with swollen eyes. I have...

Unfortunately i had a large temperature spike and my forced air incubator was at 106+ degrees when I found it. I candled that night and separated the maybes to one side. Now with 11 days left i rechecked and removed eggs. I have 4 chicks alive and well in their little shells unfortunately the...

Anyone else setting eggs for an August hatch? I just put 24 black australorp and Rhode Island Red X black australorp cross eggs in. This will be my first hatch in almost 3 years.

Congratulations to those that have babies fresh out of the incubator! :woot I have had one exciting day! The first Muscovy hen apparently has impeccable timing! She hatched 11 ducklings today and it wasn't even planned! :weee Not poultry related but our mare also joined in foaling early this...

Thought I would join in! I have not 1 but 3 broody ducks right now :hide The first is a Muscovy hen who is sitting on approx. 6 eggs in the chicken coop that are about a week away from hatching. She hatched 3 ducklings on 5/12/16 and was a horrible mom (returned lost ducklings to her several...

The first 3 hatched 5/12/16

My lovely group of ducks has me thoroughly confused!:/ I have: 1 Rouen hen 1 blue Swedish X Rouen hen 1 buff X khaki Campbell drake 2 Muscovy hens 1 Muscovy drake First one of my Muscovy hens hatched ducklings that appear to be mules on 5/12/16. She isn't the best mother (after returning lost...

Thanks DucksAndGardens! When I picked her up I was told it was a male but as my mom and i spent more time with our new addition we both said she looks like a female. We originally got her because we wanted a male as we no longer had one (our neighbors dog killed several of our chickens...

I was given a duck just the other day and don't know what he/she is. Mom is a buff and dad is a khaki Campbell and was hatched this spring.

I have 30 or so India Blue peafowl and have been selling some to local people but recently received and e-mail asking if I would sell hatching eggs next spring. I said yes figuring it won't be any big deal but now I don't know what to charge for the eggs. My question is what do you normally...

I'm so sad! I have cleaned and disinfected my incubator and packed it away for the rest of winter. My first hatch has grown up so fast and is now outside with out a heat lamp like little grown ups. The picture is of my little rooster who is the first ever egg to hatch that I incubated! He is...

My texas a&m's are getting big! They are a week and a half old now and have to be over double in size! They are so cute and I can't wait until they are laying their own eggs which will be in only a few short months :)

There is both inbreeding and line breeding. Most people think of inbreeding when something goes wrong and the offspring has issues. You can breed mother to son, father to daughter, half brother to half sister, cousin to cousin, aunt to nephew, and uncle to niece. Now with that said when line...

Really? What is it called? What's the bag look like?

Thank you :) Since today is day 21 for my quail eggs I went ahead and pipped the ones that haven't already and started chipping away at the ones that have. 2 confirmed alive (1 hatched a few minutes ago), 2 piped a vein and died and 3 died after day 14 but before day 18. Waiting on the last one...
