Haha they can be so funny and so full of personality cant they! ๐ค ive tried many times to sex day old ducks, day old chicks, day old geese...... i cant do it ๐ or at least i never end up being right ๐คฃ ive watched almost every available video on day old sexing and still it eludes me haha i...
Thats the lines i was thinking along too - breaking the broodyness and going for an adult companion. She has searched the country and found some 'just about to hatch' ducklings so she is going to try giving her duckie some babies tomorrow or the next day, i have forewarned her about the risks of...
Yeah I'm not a fan of the videos and the quality ๐ i wish i was able to go and candle them for her in person- ive gotten pretty decent at picking the living from the dead in person. I have informed her that its best to candle from the air sack end ๐ the darker eggs could be some where around day...
What about the eggs in these videos ? Again not mine ๐
I should maybe also add that the dates may not mean much as this time miss duckie is sitting on the eggs outside, not in a box and we have had a few unusually cold days and nights
My broody hen decided to set up shop in the goose house! And she was willing to endure 3 geese getting cranky and picking on her ๐ณ !!!! Needless to say i couldnt leave that be so she has now been contained to the broody chook jail cage! What is the longest amount of time it has taken you guys to...
Haha yeah im trying my best ๐ค the first lot of eggs that her duck sat on that died were eggs that were laid by her duck itself (she did have 2 drakes previously but rehomed them both recently because of the damage they were doing to each other and the girl) and the eggs in the videos i posted...
When i first started talking to her ( she is a complete stranger to me, an older lady that cried out for help from her community) i suggested possibly looking for a new home for her duck or looking for another female duck to be a companion for hers. If only i had another duck i could give her...
Thanks all ๐ before the duck was given these eggs i tried explaining that it would be best to break her broodyness now because shes already been sitting longer then the time it takes to incubate a clutch, but the duck keeps going and making new nests any where and every where if the current nest...
I was thinking there wasnt enough visible veining but i was hoping it may have just been the quality of the videos! This poor lady has been having issues with her broody ducks eggs not making it to hatch and her duck has been sitting for 4 weeks now, the first batch of eggs that didnt make it...
Ill give the youtube way a go, the video isnt the best quality / she moves a bit too fast in my opinion, i cant see as much as id like which is why im turning to some more trained eyes ๐
Ill see what i can do, the link was to 2 videos, ill try my best to get some shots. I did try to upload the videos straight from my phone gallery but it wouldn't let me
Posting on behalf of someone else, these duck eggs would be around day 8-9ish do they look like they are developing normally or do they look like quitters ? (Hopefully the link works)https://www.facebook.com/groups/BYPACT/permalink/1827457814286150/?mibextid=Nif5oz
