    Chicken hen brooding duck eggs

    First time attempt at hatching here! I’ve hadn’t yet considered incubating/hatching eggs then my blue Wyandotte went broody about 4 weeks ago. I let her sit on 4 of our magpie duck eggs since we have male and female ducks. She’s been so dedicated and such a good broody hen so far. I’ve...

    Day 29 for a duck egg...no signs of movement

    Hi everyone! Back story first. So this was an unexpected duck egg into my life. A mallard duck laid it next to my pool and then didn't come back for it. I got an incubator for it and it was growing. On day 25, I put more water in it for a higher humidity around 75%. On day 27, I opened the lid...

    A piece of broken shell

    So today I was going to mist my duck egg and I saw something odd on the shell so I took it off using a paper towel but as I did that, it took a little piece of shell too. It didn't go all the way through, there is still a film like thing underneath but should I take action and if so, how?

    How long are duck eggs good for if left in the coop??

    We cleaned out the duck coop this morning. All together we found almost 2 dozen eggs! I know some are less than a week old and I left them thinking they were being sat on but I don’t think they are. We pulled over a dozen out from under the ramp from the entry way going outside the coop...

    Beginner Duck Mom Question.

    I have a couple questions as far as duck egg laying goes. The other day I found my first 3 duck eggs in a random spot in my duck enclosure. I collected them, and floated them because I wasn’t sure how long they had been there. They were perfectly fine. So I go back to the same spot the next...

    Where do ducks like to lay their eggs?

    My ducks are still very young and not going to be laying for another ten weeks or so, but I am wondering if I will need to provide them some kind of laying box or prepare a special nesting or laying area? Please tell me about and/or post a picture of your ducks' laying area.

    Long story short, today I came into possession of two muscovy duck eggs. However, I know next to nothing about eggs or chickens/ducks. Right now I currently have them in a cardboard shoebox nestled on a fleece blanket (they are sitting on the blanket rather than being surrounded by it so they...

    Okay, I’m new to ducks eggs.. or just eggs in general. Whenever I research stuff, I barely find discussions about duck eggs, it’s always about chickens.

    I have several young hens and two young ducks all in one coop. The ducks are at laying age, and the hens are at 12 weeks (there are 2 leghorns).
