    Small Duck Egg

    Hi everyone, I have a Pekin duck egg that has started to wiggle a little on day 20—I noticed it this evening. Tomorrow, it will officially be day 21. It's due to hatch on Saturday the 22nd. I guess my incubator has been running a bit hot. I’ve been monitoring it using three calibrated...

    Whose egg is it?

    I’ve got a pekin duck (Wally) and a khaki Campbell duck (Loretta) and I’m not sure what sex they are! I’ve been getting eggs and I think they might be Wally’s but not sure. Loretta is a lot quieter than Wally so I suspect she might actually be a male and Wally is female. I’ve attached a...

    Can a broody chicken hatch a duck egg while hatching baby chicks?

    Borla (pom-pom/tuft in Spanish) the Silkie has just become broody and is sitting on 3 bantam eggs. I have a few eggs I didn't refrigerate that were layed yesterday afternoon. I'm going to put the chicken eggs under her, but one of the other eggs is a duck egg. Should I put it under her? I know...

    Broody duck has eggs of all different stages!!

    So my Aylesbury duck has been sitting on her eggs for almost 28 days now, and I only realised 15 days in that she had been laying the whole time. After candling the eggs I think I’ve got two out of six that are ready to pip but the rest still look quite behind as their air cell is quite small...

    Is this duck egg fertilized?

    So, I have 5 female ducks. I was getting 5 eggs daily. I had dropped down to 4 eggs, then 3 eggs daily. I thought it was because my rooster is being rude and chasing them around sometimes, whether to be mean or to mate, I don't know. But I just put chicken eggs into our new incubator (for the...

    Internal Pip?

    Does anyone know if this is an internal pip? The duckling has been quite lively and moving his egg around the incubator and then we saw this, is it an internal pip or just where he’s been pushing against it? p.s the hole in the egg is so it doesn’t suffocate
