    Will Duck eggs still hatch?

    The simple answer is yes they can still hatch. How long have there been twelve eggs? How many days has she been sitting part time? Many ducks when they first go broody don't sit 23 hours a day, but later become more committed.

    It will not develop angel wing due to feeding 20% protein. I don't know about Muzuri's starter as far as other details. The feed I use is designed for all stages of life.

    Help! 22/23 week old Chickens! Breed/gender?!

    My eyes aren't great and sometimes miss pointed saddles in pics, but I would think the pointed feathers would be becoming obvious, and crowing regularly in 20+ week old males My breed guess is Leghorn over Marans. Could be another red bird in the mix. With that mix I believe these could be...

    Breed?

    Ducklings are sometimes as uniquely colored as adult ducks. Being they are from a farm their is a possibility of mixed breeds. In ducks mixed breeds may mimic other breeds. If you can get a picture of them standing it may help. My first thoughts are a Pekin and a dark Welsh Harlequin.

    What Kind of Predator?

    Bricks are not all that heavy. Even a coon could push them around. Any digging near them could move them. I would suggest a game cam if you really want to know what is around the coop at night.
