Hi guys. I’ve got 2 drakes. They have an outdoor coop with a 2 meter run. In the mornings I let them out and they meander around my large enclosed garden during the day, then they return to the run in the evenings to sleep. They’ve never used the coop, except once when we had a thunder storm...

I have a couple of baskets filled with primroses, I thought they were annuals but I’ve just read that they’re perennials. I want to put some petunia and fuscia into these baskets, can I take the primroses out of the baskets and plant them straight into the garden? Sorry if this is a stupid...

My 6th and final egg hatched last night (yeyyy) but I had to assist a little as it was shrinkwrapped and clearly struggling. He had a swollen, leaky abdomen/belly button. It was about grape sized and has since (as far as I can tell) sorted itself out nicely. The duckling has wryneck and can...

I’ve had the happiest 12 hours of my life. The 6th and final egg is externally pipped and I hope he’ll be joining us shortly!! Not bad for farm shop eggs and a faulty incubator! Can anyone recognise which breed?

Hi, 2 of these duck eggs externally pipped yesterday morning, so over 30 hours ago. They stopped and rested for almost a whole 24 hours, which I have read is normal.

I ordered some duck crumbs last week and due to Easter holidays and this country shutting down for an entire 5 days 🙄, they've just emailed me to say there’s a delay and it will be delivered on Saturday. Today is day 28 for my eggs and they’ve internally pipped and I assume that means they...

It’s day 27 and I can hear some faint cheeping so at least one has pipped through the membrane. I’m trying to control myself and not check too often or disturb them but I can see two eggs moving so hoping for an external pip in the next 12 hours!

Hi. I have 6 eggs incubating at the minute and I’m hoping at least a couple will survive. Last time I hatched ducks only 1 survived and we ended up keeping him indoors as a house pet so I have no experience with moving ducks outside. I have a brooder ready for these ducklings (they hatch next...

hi everyone. I live in the sunny (not) north coast of Northern Ireland and currently have some duck eggs incubating set to hatch next week, all being well. This is my second attempt at building a lil duck family. Last year I incubated 35 duck eggs, but a ten-hour power cut killed all but 4...
