Only thing I do different with any of my waterfowl eggs is day 10 I start opening in the incubator for atleast 30 minutes everyday misting the eggs with water making sure they’re wet and recovering. I live in south Alabama and I only dry incubate all my eggs. My humidity ranges anywhere from...

She gets free choice oyster shell and 22% Tucker milling show flock feed. Plus she’s free range to eat grass and whatever else she finds.

My embden goose started laying 2 weeks ago. She laid 3 hard shell eggs then only soft shell after that. Maybe 3 or 4 soft eggs. She hasn’t laid an egg at all in 3 days and she seems to wanna sit around a lot more than she used to. I walked out to her today when she got up it looked like maybe a...

No we just sell whole birds and livers,hearts,gizzards.

If you see the coyotes why don’t you shoot them? Just asking.

I raise and sell meat birds I do all my processing under a metal carport on stainless tables. I keep everything wiped down and in order while processing. Really not a lot to it just keep things clean like you would for your own use. I used to put the stickers on the birds and all that I don’t...

Make sure you close the bags in the fridge not sealed but don’t leave em wide open on top. The chicken will start drying out on the open end.

My little boy he’s 10 he loves ducks. We had a mixed group a while back fenced yard and they were penned up. 2 dogs came while we were away and killed them all, then a mcmurray hatchery book came a week or so later and he went to reading and looking at different types and likes the appleyard, so...

I’m down in Mobile but have a farm right outside of Greenville Al. We’ve owned several different types of ducks but never Muscovys. Right now we have silver appleyard a drake and 5 hens and they have been the most laid back,calm,quietest ducks we’ve ever owned. I have 4 in the brooder right now...

I raise my Cornish on 27% game bird starter for 6 weeks and process. They’re fed 24/7 nonstop works out a lot better than changing feed and all that mess. I have 40 I’m processing Friday weighed 7 yesterday average weight will be 5-6 lbs processed weight.

Usually with a dog it’s the inside that get crushed from the bite broken ribs punctured lungs and guts. The chicken will act fine because in the bird world showing weakness gets you attacked by the flock to protect the flock. Watch him a few days for swelling and blackness around the bald areas...

Have you changed their food or using cheap food? I went cheap and got the producer pride 16% tractor supply stuff. Almost all mine stopped laying. Put mine on 22% tucker milling show flock birds look great get 7 eggs a day from 8 hens.

That will work out then I was trying to produce more than one variety I was hoping I wouldn’t have to breed these raise the poults and rebreed. 👍

Quick summary I have porters fall fire variety ordered. I think I may have gotten ahead of myself by doing this but it may work out in the end. I wanted to produce 100% fall fire poults which I see now will not happen I will produce the parent sweetgrass and red sweetgrass which breeding back...

Open the door and toss em in. The longer you keep them apart or keep separating them the longer the fighting will go on. Throw em in get it over with everybody will be happy.

Look like magpies

Try the dry incubation next time and see if it changes anything.

I’m at work and I can see my humidity is higher than it was this morning so that’s telling me I have some ducklings hatched out when I get home today.

No telling really. Do you try to keep the humidity at a certain level? I used to try that and then I started just dry incubating and then lock down day I’d raise my humidity up to 65% or so. My hatch rate went way up doing this. I also use the calibrated Govee hygrometer/thermometer with WiFi...
