    day 30 and ducks still didn’t hatch!

    Hi, i’m a first time hatcher. I’ve recently started incubating duck eggs and only one hatched in day 28. I have 5 eggs in all. Another one looks like the hard shell chipped off already but the thin part wasn’t broken through. Should I help it?

    Diary of a Duck Virgin

    I've gotten tired of our pond (Well, NOT ours... city owned... and neglected) looking worse year after year. At our own expense we've put in bubblers, a seemingly worthless amount of chemicals, and stocked it with fish two different years. But also being a run-off for residential properties in a...

    Bantam and duck eggs

    I own a Brinsea octagon incubator and was wondering if you can put bantam eggs and duck eggs into it at the same time? Will the humidity and whatever else be ok or will this not work out? Many thanks for you help

    I can't tell if my dove egg embryo is alive or not!

    I got this dove egg from a local farm, and I started incubating it at home. Day by day it seemed to grow well. But today, (Approximately 7 days later) I was candling my egg and I noticed this thick blood ring around the embryo. I do know that blood rings mean the embryo is dead. But when I look...
