Barred Rock hen is in love with me?
My gal (21 weeks) is obsessed with me. I love it. When the gals were 3 days old one of them had pasty butt. Had to soak and rub her bum several times a day for many days. I said then that when she’s older she will either love me or hate me. I couldn’t tell them apart through those weeks/months...- KimbosKluckers

Have I made a permanent mistake?
Have I made a permanent mistake with my ducklings? I'm devastated with what I may have done... I got 11 Indian Runner Ducklings via hatchery by mail. We used a huge 45 gallon tote the first 3 weeks on a counter. Ducklings have been friendly. Weather has been one of those years you see about...- addctd2plnts

Single duckling imprinted on us
My husband & I have Silver Appleyard Ducks and recently our female ducks laid. We had to move their nests (we wouldn’t have if we didn’t need to) and they stopped sitting. We bought an incubator & placed them in. Long story short, only ONE duckling made it from one of the clutches. The other... -
False Alarms
My two week old Blue Swedish Ducks came home today, they’re in the brooder together. One of the ducklings is “sounding the alarm” which is the noise I heard my Pekins make as ducklings when I would separate the two ducklings. The alarm from the BS stops when I walk over to the brooder or talk to...- Maddog_photog

What will happen when only one egg hatches?
Hi everyone! I need some help with my goose eggs. This is my geese’s first year laying (white embden) and I know that the fertility and chance to hatch is really low but I tried it out anyway and put them in my incubator.

How do I get my ducklings to bond with me?
So I hatched 7 ducklings. The first few days they came when I called and snuggled on me and everything. Then 2 days ago they completely stopped and even shy away when I go to get them out. Are they bonding with each other too much? Should I start taking them out one at a time to bond with them... -
Can a duckling lose imprinting?
I just got a little cayuga duckling on the first (she hatched on the 30th) and unexpectedly have to take a trip in a day for a little over 24 hours. She is imprinted on me at the moment but I am worried that that long break will cause her to forget about me and not be imprinted when I come back...- GinaTheDuck
