Hi, this is my first time hatching duck eggs ( or any type of egg for that matter). My 9 Rouen duck eggs are on day 25 in the incubator ( Hova-Bator). What should the humidity and temperature be if one of them pipped last night? I can see the crack and a lot of movement and the other 8 are all...

My dogs attacked my poor chicken Henrietta. I know this only happened because she is so friendly/trusting and doesn't run as fast as the other chickens. This is the sweetest chicken there is. She follows me around and stands on my shoulder and arms all the time. I really like her. It's the...
Hi y’all,
I’m new to raising my own chickens without my fathers help.
Yesterday one of my hens (she’s about a year old) was attacked by my puppy who is 11 weeks old. He’s a playful little fella so I don’t think he meant to almost kill her.
Anyways she’s really hurt, the skin on the back of her...

So I have been having troubles with my duck Lukas, he recently got Bumblefoot a few days ago and I'm starting to get worried he's getting worse.
He hasn't been eating very well these few days, he will just nibble but never swallow even if it's soft foods. He has very runny and very water green...
I was able to successfully hatch my first three Call ducks 7 days ago. I’ve hatched crested and runners before but no Call Ducks. One duckling has a very hard time keeping up with her siblings, and they are already twice her size. She won’t pant but she will breath heavily, and lay still for a...

My 6-7 year old California White hen is not ok, I think she has been losing her sight or something along that but now she won’t get up! She always lets me pet her but she won’t move or react to treats or anything. It has been quite cold outside lately but I don’t know what to do for her, if she...
