I’m a beginner to duck genetics. I tried the calculator but I wasn’t sure if I had the right settings for Ancona. I have a beautiful batch of eggs in the incubator right now. They come from a blue Ancona drake over a black hen (lays white eggs) and chocolate and lilac hens (lay blue eggs). So...

Ive posted before about this pullet chick I had to assist hatching. Right from the get go she’s had foot and leg issues. They seemed to be remedied by hobbles and tape shoes at first, but then she started to decline again. I was ready to euthanize but my partner got attached and wanted to give...

Now, I know this one is too young to sex. This is just for fun. 15 day old olive egger (Isbar x Marans). Seems to have much thicker legs than the other chicks from the same hatch date.

I have three hens of unknown age, I have always assumed they were mixed breeds but curious if they look like anything specific to you guys. They all lay light brown eggs.

Hi all, first time hatcher here. Today is day 7 since setting my eggs in the incubator, so I tried my hand at candling! Trouble is, I have no idea what I’m looking at. In one I clearly saw veins and a moving embryo! But in others, I can’t see anything - one or two might be infertile, some may be...
