May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

[Knighstar679]

I would like some thoughts on my D-0’s belly. She/he is now active but the belly still has something going on. I am wondering if it’s going to be an ongoing problem or if she will grow out of it.

Here she is


Here is her belly

Hard to see on a black duck. But is there anything I should do to help or anything.

Ok so, incubator 1: I set 15 turkey eggs, lost 2 early. Then 13 went in to lockdown. 2 quitters, and 9 total hatched! So excited for turkeys!
Incubator 2: had same results as listed before, but wry neck didn’t make it. So a total of 13 hatched but lost 3. So 10 out of a total of 28 at lockdown....
incubator 3: three eggs pipping today on day 21, there are 19 at lockdown so we shall see. I don’t feel highly about this hatch.

Anyone have eggs hatching on Monday

My broody's eggs should start hatching on Monday. I took them away from her to finish in the incubator. She's locked down on some decoy eggs and golf balls and hasn't noticed the change.

To me, that doesn't look bad. I'm not putting myself forth as any kind of bird health expert, though. I will say that I've seen similar on ducks, chicks & human babies and have seen this go away on its own within a few days (for birds--humans take longer, usually).

@Vantic @Knighstar679 @KDOGG331 heres one of the Polish Deathlayer. I’m really digging the coloring and the cowlick

The black with gold aren’t as feathered yet, but I’ll get pics of them in a few weeks.

Another chick hatched! Now we have two chicks and two pips.

Here's my girl, Eden, and her brand new "hatchling." A sweet little heifer.

Eden is always the odd one our--the gentlest, most timid of the tiny herd of smallish cattle. I'm so glad she had a little girl. I think I'll sell Cait now, since I'm certain she's pregnant--and probably Bryn as well though I love her and her little bull calf, Cam. I may or may not keep our bull, Finn. We just don't have enough land for all of them.

DH was saying, "Now don't you kiss that cow," like I was gonna kiss her (with him watching... )

One of my daughters Svart Hona chicks had something like that after it hatched. I just kept putting antibacterial ointment on it. It did eventually go away and that chick is doing well - wouldn't be able to tell anything was wrong with it.
