    Help! 6 Wk old Duckling with feet that turn inward can't walk!!!

    My sweet little Black Swedish duckling Forrest has had a rough run of things in her life so far! We noticed she walked a little funny when we brought her home, but as ducklings sort of bobble around we figured she was just getting her legs about her.

    Egg development question

    I have 17 eggs in my incubator and they are at day 24. My question is has anyone ever had their eggs develop at different speeds. I candled my eggs yesterday and noticed that a few were almost completely black with very little liquid at the point. While others had a larger amount of liquid. All...
