I took 7 eggs out from under my broody female Khaki. As far as I can tell they are due about March 13th. I candled them and all are growing fine. But I noticed with a few of the eggs I could see movement, shadows (but not a shadow from an internal pip) and wiggling under the membrane at the edge...

I went out tonight and Momma and Daddy were sharing the eggs. Momma on three Daddy on 6 and two in the middle. The two in the middle were slightly cool so I sent Momma and Daddy away for a drink and built the nest back up with all the eggs back together. When she cam back she picked an egg out...

I recently posted about a crack in an egg. I waxed it and the duck is still alive!! But then I noticed the air cell is at the SMALL end of the egg. What does this mean for the hatch? Will it make it? I also brought it in to my incubator out from under my broody Khaki so do I set it with the...

Went to lock my ducks in for the night and candled egg #9 and it has a crack, a good size crack. But not through the membrane. I read to put wax over the crack and that should help? I'm pretty sure I saw the duck move, so I think it's still alive. Any help???

Does anyone know what those little black bugs are jumping around the outside of my coop in the SNOW??? Could it be fleas? And can ducks get fleas??

We have duck people, we have chicken people and we have those who are "on the fence", which are you? (If you're "on the fence" you can select both duck AND chicken.)

I have a (now one year old) male duck. I'm pretty sure he is a mix, but just curious as to what he is since we have baby duck eggs under a Khaki female that are due in about 2 weeks.

Let's face it ALL pictures of baby ducks are adorable! Feel free to put yours here. I think all of us are getting anxious for baby ducks (if we are not lucky enough to have some already this year). So go ahead, show off your cutest duck photos!

I'm a stay at home Momma so I'm here all day with the incubator and drive myself nuts wondering whats going on in those eggs! I start candling at day two. I am always able to see the germinal disc in the fertile eggs and I check for those. Then I check the progress every day usually when I get...

What would cause a duck to die at day 26 incubation? When I checked on the egg in the morning there appeared to be a light brownish half-dollar sized spot near the small end of the egg (noticeable from the outside of the egg) . I candled it and then duck showed no movement for hours. The egg...

I put mine (duck) in lockdown this morning. Hatch date is Monday. Would love to hear from others hatching this weekend and see pics of other hatch. This is exciting!

When is lockdown for duck eggs? Is it the last three days including hatch day? Or is it last three days BEFORE hatch day? I'm at day 24 right now, so it's either tomorrow or Saturday. I can still see some fluid at the small end of the egg right now. Maybe a 1/4 of an inch of space at the...

My female started sitting on 14 eggs. She has laid one a day every morning into that clutch (and a couple times while she was up another female must have laid one in it as well) She is now at 19 eggs and keeps laying every morning. Will she stop? Should I mark the eggs she has in her clutch now...

No this isn't a stick person..lol. (This is a duck egg, not chicken egg too) I put a circle around the size of the air sack at day 2..is it normal size or too small?? I put arrows to the very edge of a circular shadow that I see. I'm nervous it might be a blood ring? It's not prominent or redish...

The most reputable place I have found/heard about is Metzer Farms. The only down side is they are in California and I am in Maine. Has anyone bought from them that are near Maine and had good or bad results? Is there a place closer that you have had good results from? I need to add to my flock...
