At least one of my Mandarin females is laying in their nesting boxes. They seem to have been laying for over a week. I'm worried that they are not broody enough. Anytime I check on them they are out and about, swimming, mating, sunning. Will they ever sit full time or are they just awful Mommas?

Hello! I have two Pairs of Mandarins who have been mating for about a week now. How long before momma goes into to her nesting boxes to lay or does she go in and out? If all goes well and we have babies do I need to separate the drakes or will they be ok with the ducklings? I have them in with...

Hello! I've had some great success hatching chick's, goslings and Peachicks with my hovabator genesis. I'm just so tired of monitoring the humidity on it.

I will hopefully be hatching out some peachicks in the next couple of days. I will keep them safely inside in a brooder and then move them to a stall in our barn. I'm just curious about introducing them back to their Ma and Pa? Has anybody had experience with this?
