Hi everyone, I'm needing some community feedback to see if I got a bad batch of Black Broilers or if they are just a skinnier meat bird. I've raised Cornish Rocks but am now focusing on heritage breeds who can reproduce naturally. I love the Red Ranger (from Cackle hatchery), LOVE my white...
Hello Friends - There are three groups of us trying to hatch out Muscovy duck eggs - the eggs are fertile but never make it all the way. Does anyone have a method that works? This must be for Muscovy's as the other ducks (Mallards and such) are different and don't count. I hope so! Any and...
I have Blue, Black and Brown Muscovy's laying right now - there wont be many as half the gals (2 of 4) have gone broody! These are spectacular ducks to have - quite with great personalities and are very robust (delicious too as are the eggs). I am offering the eggs at $2.50 each or $20 per...
I have 3 hens and one rooster. They are in a fairly good sized pen together. Two of the gals got broody and are hatching out a mess of chicks - both theirs and others. This group does NOT like to be separated! Once the chicks hatch - should I remove the rooster?
I have Muscovy duck eggs for sale - $40 a dozen, shipping included. The eggs that I'm hatching out have had 100% fertility rate so far. These are some beautiful ducks with great personalities - they are very clean (for ducks especially) eat flies and other bugs, and are known to be one of the...
Ok - I might be setting myself up to get flamed by showing this video - BUT I am constantly reading information all over the internet about Cornish Rocks and to date - none of it has been true. Here are my 6 week old chicks defying all I hear! I'm wanting to breed the gals - and it's so...
One of my ducks decided to hatch out ducklings away from the barn. I'm scared to death that they'll get eaten - do I just grab her and the ducklings once born and put them in their own penned area? what if all the eggs don't hatch out at the same time?
Dolly Duck - upset that I took a pic!
I hear that it's easy to incubate Muscovy duck eggs (well relatively anyway) but the major problem comes when they are trying to hatch out of the egg. I keep reading "The problem with artificially incubating Muscovy eggs isn't fertility or viability in the shell, it's getting them out of the...
I have some beautiful Muscovy's who have started laying eggs - one a day right now! My question is - how long will they lay eggs? Are there any cycles - I mean - how can my one duck hatch out all these eggs and yet lay one per day still?
Thanks for any help that you can provide on this - I...
I have chickens and ducks - even a German Shepherd to guard them, but he's not always as verbal as I'd like. I am considering getting a goose to help protect my free ranging fowl. I went to a 'trade' show once and this one goose almost tore out of its cage to get to my dog - he's one hundred...
I will be selling my gorgeous duck's eggs very soon - am hatching out a lot right now -first group due in two weeks! I LOVE my ducks but also, the eggs taste so good and well - Muscovy taste great! Here's one of my favorite girls (hopefully) hatching out her own - my other ducklings are being...
I just had some chicks hatched out - I have 4 Americaunas and one Buckeye daddy - crossed with something else.
they are less than one day old - the Americaunas are doing triple flips through the air like ninjas - drinking water, eating food - and the other chick is ....slow. It doesn't walk...
Hello All, I've been reading information from here for months now and thought I'd officially join! Thank you for all of the incredible information. I have had chickens for a little while although I'm doing things a bit differently now - free ranging mega and increasing my stock. I am the proud...
