    What are the chances of my eggs being fertile? 1 drake to 2 hens ratio

    Hi! So I have ducks. 2 drakes and 2 hens (lost 2 of my other hens to foxes in the spring,hence the reduced number of hens). All raised together since ducklinghood. A couple of weeks past, I separated one of the drakes from the flock, due to fighting, leaving a better yet still not ideal, I...

    Do broody hens need oudoor space?

    Hi! So I have a broody hen that I'm planning on putting duck eggs under for hatching once I have enough(in about a day, I'd say). She is currently sitting in a nest out in the fenced in outdoor area of their coop. But the other flockmates can get to her and often do disturb her. I was thinking...

    HELP

    I have been hatching my mallards duck eggs. My hens are sitting on them but this is happening and I’m not sure at this point if it is alive or dead. I’m not sure if it’s hatching or not either. Maybe the hen cracked it? What do I do? Should I bring it inside under a heat lamp?

    Bruising on duck egg day 28

    My duck egg piped last night while I was asleep. Everything seems good. But I have this odd colour near by where it is pipping. Could this be a sign of shrink wrap?!

    How to tell if fertilized eggs have died?

    I’ve been incubating duck eggs for almost two weeks and have had their temp regulated strictly. I have a thermometer in with them, and when I came home today, it was at 104 degrees f , which according to what I have researched, kills the embryo. I’ve put so much work into this and I have no idea...

    Is this a fertile duck egg?

    Hi everyone! I’m new here and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a fertile duck egg? It looks fertile to me. I have 4 Blue Swedish ducks that I thought were all female but I saw 2 of them mating today and while this might be an obvious answer, I just need confirmation 🤣. Thank you!

    Barnyard Mix Duck Hatch-A-Long April 2021

    This is my third attempt at hatching - no success to date. My first was from a friend’s pair and I don’t think they were fertile. The second batch was $30 down the drain from someone on Etsy. One egg was smashed on arrival and the others showed no veining by day 12. Both were set in a shoddy...
