    When to call it quits? Hatching problems

    2 broody quails sitting together

    Both of my female quails are sitting on their eggs right next to each other, like the 2 egg clutches are pretty much in the same best I was just wondering if I can move then both into the same cage or would this start fights and maybe even cause the chick's to be killed once they hatch?

    Broody duck?

    I usually collect all my birds’ eggs everyday but today I was busy and forgot. When I went to put them to bed I was watching them and saw my duck Jemima (a 6 month old golden 300) nuzzle her clutch of eggs and nestle down onto them to keep them warm (so cute!!). I’ve never seen her or my other...

    Will my RIR stay broody? Even after a failed Dutch?

    So I have a RIR who went broody well over a month ago. Her first batch of eggs she was setting failed. After 30 days I decided to make the hard decision to discard her eggs and I had hoped that she would mellow out (she's been the comedic relief on the farm lately with her crabby disposition and...
