Yes my hens are about 3 year to 2 year old and love hatch eggs but yes sometime things go wrong.
Oh very nice. I had one Muscovy duckling last year. My incubator only hatched out one duckling. So my family got a Muscovy from a local farm to keep it company. It was under the stairs in my...
Yes I feel better now. I Hatch chicks before in the past. It was first time hatching duck eggs by broody hens it was fun.
Yes very true the big decision can sometimes be hard.
Add some photos of my new ducks and duckling in my next post.

Later on my 3rd hen hatched out, 10 ducklings of Welsh...
Well I have just checked on the chick and looked at it's vent and it is clogged up. I try cleaning it with warm water and a cotton bud, but it wont come off.
Well I ended up waking up, at 3:30 am for the bathroom and it all started.
First off when I woke up, I could hear the alarm going off on my incubator. The humidity was too high and the chick that hatched around, the 23th day was breathing heavily. So I had to go out side in the dark. Looking...
I have duck eggs that are on day 27th that I am waiting to hatch. Every think looks fine when I candled my duck eggs on the 25th day, some ducklings looked bigger then other ducklings which show hatch out on different days.
But on day 25th one of my eggs hatched and out came a chick, (my mum...
I am not sure yet. I check once it gets dark later on.
Yes it same for chicken eggs too. I was planning to have one of my hens sit on them 21 days ago. but the day I got the egg she stopped being broody.
Okay did know that. I do that 3 days before hatch day. thanks
I got 5 duck eggs in a incubator that are on on day 21. I candled my 12 duck eggs last night and removed 7 of them, due to being dead or infratel.
Now I noticed that one of my ducklings is growing upside down in the egg. Did I place the egg the wrong way up?
I know that it is still a live as...
I tried feeding my chickens scrambled eggs and crushed eggshells before and I got egg eater for many weeks and they stop eating the eggs after I add some golf balls to their nests.
No my family has no problem with money. All of the other animals (cats, dogs and horse) on the farm are getting feed as normal.
Thanks I look in to that.
Yes they do get kitchen scraps like vegetable, fruit and bread.
No very bad idea, I don't need egg eaters in my flock.
Most of my...
I have a flock of 10 chickens and I normally feed them chicken pellets which helps with their eggs, but over a week right now, my mum is refusing to buy any more chicken pellets, because her friend told my mum, that she does not feed her chickens and just lets them run around the farm eating and...
I not sure what breed she is.
I'll add a photo tomorrow, as it night right now and my hens are sleeping right now.
She is around 3 to 5 years or more old, but my family is not sure, she was given to my family by a friend that rescued her with two other hens from a farm, but she is the only...
