Thanks! I put a lot of thought into it! They tried setting 3 times last year with no luck! They had dug a hole in the coop floor and used hay to build them a nest but I had 2 girls trying to set on the same nest & my boy kept getting in it trying to score some easy booty so the eggs would get...

I have Pekins too & one of mine did something like that once but she was wanting to get in the water not drink it! It was really cold outside...the ground had several inches of ice on it so I had decided I'd give them some warm water thinking it might warm them up a little and the water I gave...

I can imagine...that's traumatizing! That's great that they're replacing them tho!

I'm super excited! I mentioned a few weeks ago that I wanted to build my ducks a nesting box & I finally did it! I only made one for now...mainly to see how well it works out but I also don't really want more than one setting at a time cuz I only have 4 ducks (3 girls & 1 boy)! Hopefully this...

Hope u have better luck this time around! That's a lot to lose at once! I think it's really awesome u have penn state testing everything for u tho! Maybe that'll give u some kind of idea why they all died! It could've been the food or maybe they had something wrong with them from the get-go...

I haven't been on in a week or so & don't get on as much as I used to so it put me a month bk on posts...as I was reading thru them I saw urs...I was just wondering how ur feather baby is doing? I thought I would add that soaking in epsom salt/warm water also helps keep the bacteria down just in...

It's been awhile since I was on here but since this is my go-to site for advice, I'm here! I forgot how much I love reading all of the stories! I do need some advice or well inspiration...spring is approaching and I really want ducklings this year so I want to make my girls some type of nesting...

Thanks!

That's awesome! Congrats & good luck! Nature is funny that way! My little egg I was trying to hatch was left without any heat for several hrs too when it's Mama left it...and it was surviving under-heated all day (cuz I was having trouble getting the heat up high enuf)! Best of luck to u &...

Well she was doing good but unfortunate I just killed her! It was really hard to get the temp high enuf with her in the bowl so I turned the heat up a bit and cooked her! Right b4 that she was busting the shell open more and kept poking those veins with the shell...she was bleeding some...I put...

Got her all fixed up! Gonna check the temp in a few minutes just to make sure it's on a good setting then maybe I can get a couple hrs of sleep! Keeping my fingers crossed...this is the last egg out of 2 2 batches that my poor baby girls have tried to hatch!

Ok! I'll fix her up! I've been keeping her in the little plastic container in the pic with Easter basket grass under the egg and a little on top of it with the heating pad laid over it! It's been keeping it about 99 in the bowl with it set on 2 but now that the egg is open, I have the heating...

Ok! So I just need to keep her bill up and wait then!?! Thanks y'all! I'm really not sure what day she is on because my duck was setting on it and several others but between the drake trying to mount her on the nest and the other females trying to set with her, all of the other eggs got knocked...

Well I'm not exactly sure what pipped means but it cracked it's shell & started chirping so a peeled a little bk for it to get air...should I have left it alone?

I just put Vaseline on the membrane...I just read to do that in another thread!

This is what I have! What do I need to do? I put Vaseline on the membrane...just read to do that in another thread & I think it's a girl...it's loud! Lol!

Is anybody on right now? I need help! I have a duckling hatching and I don't know what to do!

Something is wrong with my drakes leg/foot! He's been limping and laying down a lot for a couple days now! I can't see anything wrong with it so I'm guessing maybe he has a pulled muscle or something! And my female decided to abandon her last egg so I am trying to hatch it myself! I still have...

Mine r Peking!???

My ducks and chickens have a hard dirt floor in their coop but they go out to free range during the day on grass and water ever other surface they venture into! But mine have never had any problems at all! I should knock on wood! I do try to keep rocks and sticks up especially in the coop so...
