I have two Muscovy drakes, and I believe the nicer way to describe how they talk is they "whisper". Though the voice could be described as hissing (both males and females) when a chicken gets too close, but otherwise the male voice is a whisper. To describe the voice that way I believe is more...
Hi Lucy, I'm so happy for you! I don't want to be rude in telling you what to do, but I have to because I care. Please be mindful about eating real food, and please stay away from sugar (or use extremely sparingly) as it lowers the immune system and feeds cancer.
You have been given a great...
Last summer I prematurely put my Khaki Campbell ducklings on the pond (they make such a mess with water, and changing it all the time, etc., I'm sure you know), and could not get them back to put in the house at night. They didn't last long.

I don't mean to intrude in some way, but have you considered, or are already using some natural alternatives to help you through this? I know there are some supplements that can help you through chemotherapy, and even a pure diet (when you can eat) may help.
I have found from experience that...
Congratulations on the twin. I think it's a miracle that one survived, and runny poop at first is normal.
I've only hatched chicks and one gosling, and I've learned that if incubator conditions are right, they will all hatch within 24 hours of each other, either a day before the due date or...
They should be removed once dry, or nearly dry. What I do is move a few at a time to the brooder, and most of time are not fully dry. I don't use a heat lamp, but a chick cave (another topic). I feel they dry off better than being in a humid incubator. Being in a dark warm cave, or a heat...
