    duckling hatch hiccup.

    I have a duckling hatching, and she should be all the way out of the egg but she's still attached to the last piece of the shell... is this normal? Should I just leave it alone? Can/should I try to take it off? (p.s. She has been like this since around 2:30.)

    Khaki Campbell broody hatched and a good mother

    I have proven them all wrong when I got my khaki Campbell fancy to finally find a safe place away from my house and all my other animals. My two girls picked a nice tree in a flower bed of my neighbor's four houses down and they both went fully Brody towards the end one of my ducks came back and...

    It’s a miracle! One egg that fell and cracked 1 week before hatch day and covered in wax for protection has hatched today!

    :clapJust like to say that wax works if your egg cracks before hatching! So please don’t discard eggs that can live! It’s a miracle

What can i do? She is of a Texas breed which seems to show the aggressive behaviour. I am having hard time...

    Help! Duck Egg Hatching First Timer

    Hi All! I have a few general questions about duck egg hatching. Over a month ago, I noticed a duck in my front yard and after a few days realized she was nesting there. Fast forward to about a week and a half ago and a raccoon attacks the duck, and an opossum starts paying regular visits to eat...

    In coop or separate?

    My hen is laying on about 15 eggs. Found a chick that drowned in her water bowl this morning. 😢 I checked the other eggs and have not seen any peck marks. I’m not sure what day I’m on. She surprised me with the nest! Since one hatched, I’d assume around 21 days. Is it normal to not have any...

    From basic to chicken palace...??

    Chicken palace no. I just need automatic coop door, automatic waterer (maybe with a float), diy automatic feeder... Maybe a camera to make sure everything is OK. I had to have surgery a few months ago and doing chores meant me nagging older kids to help out, just to free up time and to make the...

    Late Quail Eggs?

    I've currently got three healthy hatched chicks in a brooder, but I also have still some three eggs left in the incubator. I'm getting a little worried, because it's about day 21 or 22 and I've heard that, while Quail can be late, 21 is the max? I've managed to candle then because there no...

    The first chick of my first ever hatch! This is Elara, she is an ameraucana---possibly a blue splash, but not 100% sure of the color ID just yet!
