    First Time Hatching Quail - Very Worried

    To get to the point, I'm worried about my friend possibly (non-purposefully) sabotaging the survival of her quails. It's her first time ever hatching anything, and she is hatching some bobwhite quail eggs bought online. I lent her my incubator which I've used for indian runner duck eggs, all...

    My FEMALE duck has grown a MALE tail curl!

    As the title says, my female duck has just grown a curly tail feather like all drakes have! I know that she is female because of her deep quack and most of all I have seen her lay an egg with my own eyes. When it first began growing I thought maybe it was just an out of place feather but today...

    Duckling Only Halfway Out Shell HELP (pic included)

    After about 48 hours since the external pip, the duckling managed to break out but for about half an hour hasn't been able to get the other half of the shell off. I'm scared he can't get out and I don't know if I need to assist or just to wait it out. Does anyone have advice?

    Aggressive drake constantly attacks old female

    Hi, I have 7 indian runners and my drake constantly attacks this one old female that isn't so good on her feet and is just really frail in general. She always runs, sometimes they will mate and others he will sit on top of her then get off again or just peck her neck a lot to the point where she...

    7 week old duck sitting on knees

    So I hatched three ducklings in August and two are very healthy. However, the third was weak when born and I wasn't sure if she'd make it but she did and she's been growing up nicely but slower than the others. Recently though, I noticed that she doesn't have great balance and her tail is almost...

    New here!

    Hiya! Thought I'd join this site as it's been useful. :) I'm a proud owner of four old Indian runners (used to have 6) and three new baby runners (who are growing so fast!). I've looked after ducks for about 4 years but only hatched ducklings once, I hope to hatch more. I'm looking forward to...
