➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Then he proceeds to tell me that some of the eggs he gave me may have been over 10 days old when he gave them to me.
10 DAYS OLD?!!?!

I regularly hatch eggs that are well over ten days old but I do keep them in a cool area with regular turning. Poor storage conditions can cause problems.

I mean, I’ve successfully incubated eggs that were over month old and hadn’t been kept properly or even turned at all. I don’t think that’s entirely your problem. But I don’t think I would trust a supposed breeder who isn’t incubating themselves. That seems a little off to me.

Their incubators were full. They had overflow.

Maybe I just need to shut up. Seems like I'm speaking a lot of stupid lately.

I know some people up north and none have had it

Go back and look at the pick of conans little Cochin roo she just got. I'm pretty sure he had a few little specks on his comb that looked like it to me. She's in the northwest I believe. (Maybe you meant specifically northeast )

Yep I sure did. It's been at least 4 months since I did though, but I'm guessing that's what caused it.

Galvanized has zinc that is not good for chickens. The acv dissolves the zinc

I thought the zinc was fine as long as you didn't use anything acidic that caused it to leach into the water. (Which i know now is what I did but I didn't know that 4 months ago)

Kiki did you read the diet her birds are getting? Can't vitamin deficiency cause symptoms similar to neurological disorders?

I don't think I should say anything. I believe she should not have birds. That's all I can say right now.
Well of course their diet is a problem but it's only one...I am sure.


I have read it all now.

That might have been peck marks...blood.

That's true too.
