    April-May 2017 hatch-a-long

    We have (13) Muscovy Ducks eggs that appear to be progressing fairly well. 35 day to hatch in an awful long time. Usually let the ducks hatch them on their own but they started to lay quite early this year so we just collected a handful (about 30) and wanted to see what was cooking in the...

    Pat 7110 From what I have learned from reading all the great advice here, your humidity at this stage of the hatch is of utmost importance. Please correct me if I am wrong/giving wrong information. You mentioned you have opened the incubator to get the other 'hatchers' out but was it just a...

    Incubating Muscovy Duck Eggs

    Is there anything different one has to do with duck eggs as opposed to chicken eggs when it comes to artificial incubation? Do you keep the humidity between 45% and 55% during incubation and then raise it going into lockdown? I know the Muscovy will take roughly 35 days to hatch. They usually...

    Muscovy Duck "ODD" Behavior

    Hi everyone: Not sure if this is the correct place to post but figured I would give it a whirl. I have a small backyard flock of Muscovy Ducks (1 Drake and 5 Ducks). They have been with me since babies and they are now going on 3 years old. I have a very small piece of property in the 'city'...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We are not new to chickens/fowl/poultry. Growing up, some 30 + years ago, I was involved in 4-H (The Poultry Fanciers in Westchester County NY under the direction of Inga Heilbroner) and from there they say, the rest is...

    Loved her to pieces but she is in a new home now. Hated to part with her but sometimes you have to do things that make us sad. Down to only one beautiful white hen that is a house Silkie. When we were hatching out Showgirls, initially we could not GIVE them away (literally). Miss her and...

    FINAL UPDATE.....Well the Easter Hatch has ended! We wound up with 15 Light Braham chicks 1 NH Red and 2 that have chipmunk markings!! The last 3 were eggs from a backyard mixed flock - the Light Brahma's were kept by themselves. Had to assist at least 6 of them but they are all up and...

    UPDATE # 2: With everything going so well, it was only a matter of time before things took a turn south, There was one that was about 90% zipped all around and not even 20 minutes later I look in and no movement - dead. That made me really concerned about the other pippers but none made much...

    Thank you dcbaflock for your advice. My 'counting' is that I look at the calendar, if I set the eggs on a Saturday I just count down one, two, three Saturdays and make that Saturday day 21 and back track to day 18 and write lockdown/stop turning for day 18! It has worked for the most part but...
