I've had chickens for months now and was a "newbie". Well I have put in a lot of time and research and learned through heartbreak. Our chickens have been battling respiratory illness for months. I finally sent one out for necropsy after lots of failed vet appointments and recommendations. We...

adorable!!!!

4 as of this morning and more coming

3 more so far.....

So far only one has hatched. I thought i saw a pip in one of the other eggs, but the ducks must have turned them or something because I can't see anymore. Here is our first little one to hatch! Such a cutie!

Thanks for all the advice!! They are HATCHING :D as we speak. I am overjoyed and can barely contain myself lol

After waiting and waiting and being a nervous wreck the ducklings are HATCHING :D We'll see how many Indian Runners out of the 16 eggs I get :D :D :D

Thanks, Holly!!!! I'll see how it turns out :)

I was under the impression that the mom usually wait s to incubate until the whole clutch was laid so they hatch together. That's why I was unsure of when they would hatch.....together or separately

Thanks for the advice. I am just worried it's been too long in general. Do they have a way of delaying incubation, even while sitting on the eggs? They started sitting with the first 4 and to my knowledge continued up until now without any breaks. So is there any other reason my count would be...

I have 2 broody Indian runners who on April 27th had about 4 eggs total if memory serves. They were sitting on the eggs at this point, all day as far as I'm aware. A few day's later I got a chance to peek in the nest and there were 18 between the two. All were candled shortly after and deemed...

So, I have 2 Indian Runner's who are sitting on nests of eggs totally 16. All have been candled and I believe all are fertile/viable. When they went broody there were only four. Those four are due to hatch this weekend....but the others I am unsure of. Will they continue to sit on them once the...

I have 2 Indian Runner females who have been sitting on a group of 16 eggs. They are all fertilized as far as I can tell from candling. They have nice distinct veins. I know as a breed they are not typically broody - but they have been sitting faithfully all day every day since April 27th which...

Once again I'm on here extremely upset/frustrated. I have recently had a bout of respiratory illness in my chickens over the past two months or so. This is about my duck, however, and I'm wondering if there is a connection. For background - I had 10 birds that had gurgling while breathing...

Thanks for the info on the respiratory diseases. I used wazine as a wormer because they had never been dewormed as far as I know and I've heard that it's best to use that prior to a broad spectrum dewormer and since it was roundworms I saw I figured to use it first anyways. I plan to follow up...

I have 10 chickens I rescued from someone that about 8 weeks ago now had severe coughing, felt gurgly when breathing, and shook their head, extended neck when breathing. I noticed some blood in their saliva when they coughed but it wasn't all that much. When I did research I believed it was ILT...

The feet are yellow underneath

Hi, I am a "new" duck owner. We got 3 indian runners and 2 pekins over the past year. 2 female indians 1 male and 1 male and 1 female pekin. My female pekin was born with a gimp leg. She is several years old (not sure how old) so I don't know if she can even lay eggs or not. My two...

Sorry ignore the first one. It is actually this one
