Its a pain.That just breaks my heart. I'm so sorry you lost her. I swear it's always the favorites.. I keep mine under bird netting at all times so I haven't had to deal with those good-fer-nothing hawks yet thankfully. At least she had a wonderful life with you.
What on earth is going on, Like i just lost 3 chickens last night! A huge black copper marans, a polish (feathers left) and a RIR. Now feathers anywhere from the rooster and RIR. So im hoping they are out there, hopeing my man is protecting my girl... Im sorry for your loss toI lost my Call drake Percy last night.I am such an idiot. At lock up he didn't want to go in yet so I closed everybody else up and decided I'd go back to pen them up in a little bit,and I forgot. Something was digging around the base to get at him, and as Poppy is on a nest, I'm sure he was fiercely trying to get at whatever it was. I found about 5 feathers outside of the pen. Still not sure how he got out, the digging only left about a 1 inch gap under the fencing. This absolutely sucks! It was so hard to find Calls in the first place, now Poppy is alone. I have a duckling, eggs in the bator, and some in her nest, but they are related!
check one, just make it just a tad bigger at the pip hole, like size of qtip and candle while you try to peer inside, if you can see just make a tad more bigger, NEVER open BELOW air cell line

Duckies can take a full 3 days to hatch once they pip. If you are very concerned, take the egg & hold it to your ear. You should hear tapping, scratching or peeping if it's still alive. When you put the eggs back, mist the inside of the bator with a spray bottle of hot water to immediately restore humidity levels.
I have a couple babies growing out. I'm sure there is a male in the mix. I can either ship all 3 together in a week or so, or wait until they grow out some more & ship just 1.
