Hi all, Im looking for 3 or 4 fertile mallard duck eggs in Southern NJ near Atlantic City. Would like them after memorial day to hatch in mid to late June. I do not want to pay too much for them, but I do have all of the stuff I will need for a hatch so it will be a good home!! Can anybody...

How long after hatching should the chicks start eating? He has been drinking, but seems uninterested in food, and is 2 days old. Is there a trick to getting him to eat?? Also he does not seem to be pooing since yesterday maybe just a little??? Any info would be great thanx

That is a really good question I have a 2 day old chick, and he doesnt seem to be pooing. He did when he was born but not much after the first night.

He is drinking, but isnt interested in the crumbles. Is there a way to get him to eat? or will they figure that out themself? I have the food just on the floor in the box, using a little towel for a bottem.

My chick is now 1.5 days old, and this morning he seems to be very quiet and just sleeping a lot under the lamp. Im not sure if this is normal behavior. His right eye wont open either, but someone said that could be normal. Im really getting concerned

Thanks Ill keep an eye on him (no pun intended) and let you know how he makes out.

My 24 hr old chick wont open his right eye, what do I do??? He seems fine otherwise, but he may have scratched it when he was hatching last night he had a little bit of a hard time trying to push the egg shell off, and his nails kept getting close to his eye ball, maybe he scratched it then?

I hatched a chick last night almost exactly 24 hrs ago. I had to leave him alone for a little bit, wwhen I came back I noticed his one eye is closed and he doesnt seem to want to open it. Is this common, is there something I can do? The only thing I can think happened is maybe he scratched it...

Quote: Yep a light brown egg. Thanks for the help.

Quote: I got the egg from a biology lab where we were disecting them to view fetus development. I took it back to my dorm but i had nothing for an egg and it had already started incubation. I kept the egg under a heat lamp and just monitored the temp and turned it 3 times a day. It was not...

Thanks a lot, can't wait to see what it turns out to be im sure the weeks will fly by. I don't have plans of being a poultry vet, but before I went to college I didnt do much equine either, so maybe it will be a hobby!! When will I have to bring him to the vet? and what will he need if...
