    Found bird eggs

    Someone brought me wild birds eggs and I don't have an incubator or time to turn eggs. Is it okay to put wild bird eggs in another random wild birds nest?

    Resin Shed to Comfy Coop

    I’ve made mistakes. This is the first time in my life to have chickens (and ducks). We purchased four chicks and two ducklings in the Spring of 2018. Two of the chicks ended up male, both ducks are female. They spent their first months in our basement. Then a small coop that was so high I had...

    So our duck has been laying eggs in her nest over the past week and a half. The last times she laid in this same nest something took her eggs so since it was the same nest in the same spot we decided we would take her eggs in and incubate them. We've been replacing them with golf balls so she...

    My duck has laid her eggs in the rabbit burrow...

    She’s laid I don’t know how many but she’s been sitting on them for five days. I’ve stuck my phone on a selfie stick down there and can see four but can’t see anymore as the angles aren’t good. Should I get them out of there and bring her in to nest in a box or would it just disturb her? Should...
