Hi everyone! Have been crazy busy and haven't been on here in quite a while, hope everyone is well. I have a duckling dilemma! I have three 4 week old Australian spotted ducklings, I was only going to keep the two girls but one of the boys got hurt a couple days before I sold them so I've kept...
Anyone have any advice about hatching wobbley air cell duck eggs? Tomorrow is lockdown and all I know is to hatch upright but are there extra issues I will have to deal with?
Hey guys i haven't been on in a while, it's been crazy around here. Have had numerous very difficult hatches and my mother in laws dog died today so its been a very emotional day. He's been sick and we took him to the vet 2 days ago because he was acting very funny. My husband and I told the vet...
yes that answers my question, I just wanted to know if it was ok to set flat until I start turning but what do you mean about angle doesn't matter until after the wait period? Also if I have some bad rolling air cells is 48hrs long enough to wait before turning in the bator or should I wait even...
I hope everything works out with your underdog! Or should I say underturkey? Anyway I think that is so cool what your doing!!!! Giving him an awesome home to live out a happy life.
Hey sally I let my new shipped eggs sit for 24hrs but completely spaced on tilting them 45* on a book! Is this gonna mess them up and since they were pretty bad I wasn't going to turn them for like another 48 in the bator so should I get something under them now to get them angled until i start...
I got my mallard runner and call eggs yeaterday. The guy sent me 8 runners,1 had a big dent at least 2 were extras but the air cells are bad, 2 rolling end to end and a few had little bubbles next to the main air cell. The 8 call eggs were infert replacements and they are good. So I set them...
I'm expecting 6 mallard(gray) runner eggs and 8 more call (3snowy& 5gray) eggs to replace those inferts. The 6 gray runners are the ones I ordered 3 months ago so I'm glad he didn't rip me off but as of like 2 weeks ago he wasnt getting more than 1 egg every other day so I just hope he tested...
I am sooooo happy for u!!!!! I had the same issues, I couldn't find call ducklings anywhere so I decided I would just hatch my own but couldn't find any locally (still can't) so I had to do shipped. My first batch out of 13 only 3 developed then 1 quit early and 1 died from not being able to pip...
Guess what I got today??
My first goose egg! :D I'll set it tomorrow.

Baby geese are sooooo adorable! And happy belated birthday by the way, I was gonna tell you last night but I completely forgot to. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
That's exactly what I do too, but I preordered these almost 3 months ago and they were my very first shipped eggs I ever purchase! So I hadn't met any of you knowledgable people yet to know better :P
Thanks Chics! This makes me feel better about the shavings but I still asked him to double box hopefully he understood my second explaination. I tried to paste the pic Sally put up but whenever I copy & pasted it was a picture of a lil chick!!?? Anyways thanks
No, I preordered these over two months ago. These are the ones I posted about yesterday. He just acts like he's being putout or I'm too demanding maybe I just feel like hat because I normally don't demand thing things of people. But I paid $30 for 6 shipping included but he last ones that...
Thanks! So do u think I should insist on the double box? what do u think about pine shavings and would those even work between boxes?
By the way I've been meaning to tell u that I'm so sorry about all your broody an duck issues! It sucks I've been there. Hugsxoxoxoxo
Hey guys I need advice....I have a guy shipping eggs and he says he didn't understand how I explained the packing I wanted. He says he packs his by wrapping each egg with bubble wrap then puts bubble wrap along each side of the box and then fills the void inside with pine shavings. Would pine...
I'm in a similar situation....I preordered 6 eggs from a guy on BYC that had posted an ad in the buy sell trade and said I should get them by the end of march, then it was April then it was by the 8th of this month. I just sent him a pm yesterday, I've asked him to keep me posted but I always...
I just read the top of the original post with the pics and that is the word I was looking for in my foggy brain....jolly jump up! I haven't thought about one of those since my 10 yr old loved hers, my last 2 kids didn't like em. That is really simple but genius!
