So I candles the eggs, it looks like I have three viable. Since she was out on the property, not in a safe place , I moved her and the eggs to somewhere ?I could secure. She was NOT HAPPY. She refused to sit. So after about thirty minuets, I incubated them. But after a day, I slipped them...

We get home tomorrow and I’ll steal them and candle them. I doubt they are fertile, however, there are other peas in my neighborhood, so it’s possible.

We’ve been on an rv vacation for a bit over two weeks. Today, the person watching my animals texted this picture to me! My peas are only about a year old. We got them fully feathered in August last year. I thought I had two hens, and I still may. But from what I heard, a year old hen would...

Thank you. We are blessed to live here. We purchased the ranch as a short sale. The previous owners NEVER in the entire seven years they lived her did any maintenance, including landscape and interior. The house was a disgusting mess. But we saw the beauty in it. It took nine months to...

Is it possible that I got my first Pea Egg? This is next to a chicken egg. I also have ducks, but This is not a duck egg. She’s barely a year old.

Patience....is nearly impossible when a duckling is in peril! But patience you must have. Just a bit longer. I thought I had a dud, his brothers and sister hatched days before him. I always unhatch the dudes. And he was NOT A DUD!

I get fish mox at petsmart or petco

Well, It looks like I may not actually know the sex of my two yet. I thought that they were old enough to sex, but they still aren’t. Today while watching them, I noticed one is a bit bluer than the other, and it extends farther down its chest...fingers crossed for a matched set!

Just a little update. My peas are hens. I find that kinda ironic. The only time I want cocks, and I get hens. The Peas occasionally fly over the fence to the neighbors place, but usually come back the same day, or before dark to roost. Last week, one was over the fence calling to the other...

I feel your pain. Mine were late too, my first duckling hatch. I ended up helping all four of them, some more than others. They all made it....lol. They are all loud messy brats being transissioned to the barnyard. It was very scary. I was trying not to get attached. They were all twitchy...

I gave them sugar water as they were hatching. Although Bonnie loves loves her babies, I still don’t let her have unsupervised time with them. The trough is covered in screen. And yes, the incubator is their source. I have a heat lamp, but thought I’d try this. I’m always afraid of the...

So everyone’s moving around normal now I was really worried about the last twitchy one, but I noticed all the ones I hatched took a little while to become more normal. They are all now eating, drinking and walking normally. https://photos.app.goo.gl/vkdXuNrfTWHCzwb4A

They are Rouens. I have the Mama and Daddy as well. The last one is out, but still twitching. Does this only happen when they are Helped? Also, they all had this fine almost powdery looking fiber substance on them. Is it waste?

I put six eggs in to hatch a while back. I wasn’t planning on hatching out duck eggs, but when I had that odd looking egg...not duck not chicken, I put five eggs in with it. Can’t have it hatch alone, it needs a buddy! It was unfertilized...lol Anyway. The eggs were past due to hatch. No...

Duck (mallard type)eggs incubate in 26-28 days. Three weeks would be nearly the entire incubation. Lock down is the final three days.

Not surprising, the odd egg was unfertilized. I incubated five duck eggs with it....hopefully I get some hens for my randy drake! They should hatch on the 11/8. This is my first time hatching duck eggs. The incubation process seems a little different. The eggs seem more clear, and I can see...

Bare with me, im still reading... But you mentioned the barn cat mouser died. Did the mice get into the chick food? Chicjs are so small and susceptible to so much

Hey all . So before I noticed my duck raping my poor hen, I found a wierd egg. I wasnt sure if it was a duck egg or a chicken egg. Usually it's obvious. Today I remembered that egg. I usually package up and sell my eggs, but I held on to this one because it was odd. It's the one in the...

I usually do it sometime during the first week. Your can usually see veins. I think was a bit further along, but you'll get the point... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2558555760828685&id=100000228573920

I’ve had pretty good success with my Janoel incubators. I purchased two to incubate eggs in my son and daughters classroom. We had an amazing success rate. I think every viable egg hatched and survived. I culled the non growing eggs. I’ve used them since, and I tend to not be as careful...
