    Gosling not right

    Hi all, I have 5 Sebastopol gosling's about 10 days old. All hatched under their Mama. I have one that is always training behind the others, his throat is noticably skinnier than the others and he is missing his feathers on his chest. He's the same size as the others, maybe a little fatter...

    Swan Mating

    Hi, actually the age of the swans is kinda unknown. It was suggested they were two years old. I've been watching them and the problem is the male cannot seem to catch the female to mate. They have a smallish pond, only a few feet deep and 3 meters by 4 meters or so. They don't seem to like...

    Swan Mating

    Hello. I have a pair of black australian swans. They have attempted 4 nests since December of last year. I had them a year before this. The first nest she laid 9 eggs, and I let them do it alone as most of my birds (peafowl, geese, chickens, ducks) seem to know what they are doing. I guess...

    Help Please! Duck hatch.

    Ok, so I opened up 5 when I got the reply, and one was super wet, one malpositioned, the others ok. I left the last 5 cause the first ones I opened still hadn't absorbed the yolk, though there wasn't much blood. I just opened the last, 2 more wet ones and two more malpositioned. What a...

    Bad Hatches....

    Hi, I have the hygrometer inside the incubator. The chicks were white shrink wrapped. I used to have 2 hygrometers but one broke. So I haven't calibrated this one I have, I just read you can do so with salt and water in a bag, so I might try that. I do have one that measures the ambient...

    Bad Hatches....

    I was thinking that, but the hatch that I left it dry until the end, the chicks ended up shrink wrapped. So I'm just a bit confused.

    Bad Hatches....

    Hello. So I have a Brinsea, its been reliable and successful. I've hatched a few silkies, some ducks and some geese without much drama. In the meantime I have moved to a new farm and the humidity is really high here every day naturally. Like 60-70%. The temp has stayed constant at 99.5 or...

    hello

    Sorry I had posted a stupid question and then was trying to delete, which it wouldn't let me do, so I changed the text. But, yes, this site has been super useful! I love it. I had found a hidden cache of duck eggs today, and had a question, but cracked one open and answered it myself.
