I would keep them on their game bird feed for at least 6 to 8 weeks old. I feed a 28% gamebird starter for my heritage varieties up to 12 weeks of age and then switch to a 24% gamebird grower pellet for life along with free range. I tend to run on the higher end of protein requirements as most...

Poults need a high protein feed like a turkey or gamebird starter from 26% to 30% protein much higher than chicken starter. If you're looking for something to give poult a quick boost Poultry nutri-drench is the best, quickest nutrient I have used for this.

:welcome Welcome. As long as they are pecking at food and water, they should be fine. Sometimes you have to dip their beaks in water and food to get them going and knowing what it is. Also is good to sprinkle a little on ground to appeal to their natural pecking. But if they are already...

How are your 9 new poults doing, I have never raised any painted varieties.

A few pics of poults I have left with one more hen left to hatch her clutch.

Allowing mother ducks to hatch and brood their own is the only way I will brood ducks from now on. One time of brooding them myself to get breeding stock was enough for me. This is how it will be done here from now on, one big beach party. :thumbsup

Have a few other visitors this spring a pair of Canadian Geese decided to raise their brood of 4 goslings on the pond. Along with a few resident mallards. A busy pond this spring.

And finally, the last 3 hatches of the spring. One big beach party:lau

Also a few pics of another mixed hatch.

Update on mamma and newbies all doing well along with a few other hatches in background.

I use the cheap scissors I buy them in 12 packs for about $15 bucks and give them to my new egg customers. They work well for me.

I would be patient as ducks can take even longer to fully hatch than chickens. It can take 24 to 48 hours from external pip to zipping out of egg.

Are these chicken eggs? If so, are there any pips or signs of hatching?

Hello, is there room to put a wet sponge or two inside incubator?

It looks like a pile of male foam, what was its consistency.

Not sure what size holes I drilled it was about 10 years ago. But they were not very large just big enough to let water drain and not let pieces fall through.

I use these attached to 4x4 post used for pens. One on each side of post, one with grit one with OC. I just drilled holes in bottom to drain, have had them for 10 years now work great for me.
