    Day 20 and still no pip

    It's a chicken egg. I thought that day 21 was the day that they hatch, usually. If I understand correctly, it can still be up to 24 hours after pip before they begin to finish hatching. So this guy isn't behind schedule?

    Day 20 and still no pip

    Is there something I can adjust to help things along or is this little guy just a late hatcher? I upped the humidity this morning from 65% to 70%. The egg has been wobbling since early yesterday morning, with the wobbles gradually getting bigger throughout the day yesterday. But today, it's back...

    Chicks and ducks not eating

    Good point. I did recently open up their pen. I didn't think it would impact their consumption this much. Thanks.

    Chicks and ducks not eating

    Are there any common reasons why they would stop eating? They nibbled a bit, but when i went to feed them the next morning, some of it was still there. Then the next morning, most of it was still there. They all look fine and are behaving normally. Thanks everyone

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Ok, thanks everyone. I guess I'll bank on them only taking 28 days then. Encouraging to learn that muscovy mixes do not produce offspring. That narrows it down for me. I know the eggs are viable because I've candled them, and some of them are coming from the mother duck of the ones pictured...

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have a conundrum I'm hoping y'all can help me solve. I'm hatching some eggs from my ducks and I'm on day 17. I was told that ducks take 28 days but I've recently learned that muscovies take about 35 days. Here's the problem... I have no idea how long to expect...

    Half-muscovy ducks?

    I forgot to mention my main problem and reason for wanting an id.... I'm trying to incubate the duck eggs. I was told that ducks take 28 days and I'm on day 17. At the time, we didn't realize that muscovies take 35 days. So now I have no idea when to expect them to hatch and when to increase...

    Half-muscovy ducks?

    I was given ducklings last Easter and I was told at the time that they were muscovies. (The owner didn't know what they were, but my 85 year old grandfather who has raised everything under the sun at one time or another in his long life was positive that that's what they were just by looking at...

    For those who sell chicks....a breed question

    Thanks! I wasn't aware that colored eggs are more sought after. I already have one americauna hen, but idk what kind of rooster I have. (He was given to me)

    For those who sell chicks....a breed question

    Do you keep your hen/rooster of a specific breed separate from other breeds so that you don't get mix breed chicks? Or are people not too picky about mix breeds when they're not buying from a hatchery? I'm new to all of this and I wanted to start hatching eggs, but now all of these questions are...
