    Chicken hatched ducks, now what?

    I decided to separate at least until i get back, as mom will be chicken-tending while I'm gone. My young rooster started pecking at the baby, so I'm putting mama and babies separate for a while.

    Chicken hatched ducks, now what?

    We had an unexpected pregnancy...my mama duck and bantam hen took turns sitting, now I have baby ducks. I am leaving to go out of town for a few days tomorrow and just discovered this. My concern is since she is so small, can she defend them from the other chickens and ducks or should I...

    Broody Duck Eggs Failed?

    My momma duck has been sitting for 35ish days, so I don't think her eggs are going to hatch. If I go buy baby ducks and put them with her will she raise them?! I know they probably need to be super tiny, but is this going to work? Would I just replace her eggs with ducks if she moves from the...

    One Baby Chick

    We had just one baby hatch out of 4. Any tips?! He hatched this morning, so I moved him to a tiny rubbermaid shoebox under a heat lamp. Do I need to wait a few days and buy a few of the tiniest chicks I can get so hes not alone?! He is the only offspring of my rooster that a stray dog just ate...

    Broody Duck

    I hadn't thought about doing it at night! I read somewhere to move it just a few feet per day until it's where you want it! I guess I'll try and put it onto a tarp or sheet so I can scoot it...

    Broody Duck

    I have a duck that has been collecting eggs for about 10 days. She is finally sitting on them, and I am thrilled!!! However, she's in my garden (which I'm needing to plant soon. If I move her eggs to the other pen, which is connected to the garden, will she sit on them or am I stuck waiting for...

    Illness? Broke neck?

    She doesn't have any apparent injuries.That's what's so strange. She is still alive this morning. I'm gonna research wry neck. What kind of vitamins? Could I feed her liquid vitamins with a dropper?

    Broken neck?!

    on of my two month old hens got out and I caught my dog with it. It’s still breathing and will open her eyes, but is content laying still (even on her back.) how can I tell if her neck is broken? I don’t want her to suffer, but I am unsure of what to do!

    Is this normal?!

    So I have 22 eggs in the incubator. I don’t have an actual egg candler. Abflashlight was working ok, but now some of my eggs are so full I can’t see anything except maybe a vein. I took this on Day 18 before I locked me down. Does it look about right?!Today is Day 20 and there isn’t a sign of a...

    Question of the day-what breed and sex are these chicks?

    They are about 6 weeks old. I keep thinking that’s one day I will be able to figure this out (before they’re grown) but for now I need help!

    Incubating-so.many.questions!

    So if I collect a duck egg per day for 5 days and then put them in together will they all hatch at the same time? I read online that it takes a hen two weeks sometimes to collect enough eggs to hatch and that they would still be good. So technically they can be kept at room temp until I’m ready...

    Incubating-so.many.questions!

    Hi I have been a chicken mom for about a year. I am interested in hatching some of my own eggs. Is this even possible? I am getting so many mixed opinions on whether it’s possible to do it with my own backyard eggs vs it’s best to order eggs online. I am also wanting to try duck eggs. Can I...

    Hen or Rooster?!

    This chicken wandered up in my friend’s yard. She asked if I want it, but I have two roosters already. I’ve been wanting a speckled hen! Looks like a hen to me, but it’s hard to tell how old it is-and I’m relatively new at chickens Someone please tell me it’s a hen!
