when should i ( try to ) candle the duck eggs that are under my hen? around 7 days?

do you only spray eggs to humidify them when they’re in an incubator?? My duck eggs are under a broody chocolate Orpington hen. Will she keep them humid enough?

inside my old run that i like to leave open for an extra hiding place - some kind of mold or fungus? is it dangerous should i keep the run closed until i do something about it ? spray with bleach and scrape off maybe? it’s also a rain shelter for a baby pool filled with dust bath for the...

I put these six duck eggs from these two beautiful ladies under my broody hen today. they are my new friends from a flock that was fox attacked and they survived- they had a Drake with them up until six days ago. Which three eggs do you think are from which duck?

i am doing experiment with my purple potato patch this year i am allowing the weeds to do the hilling for me…. this is front of house around crow feeder barrel where i dumped dozens of bags of used goose and duck bedding in a circle, and then added compost and planted potatoes last year they...

oh and geese are honorary dux so no worries all is well in the quack shack

except for when they are not. when I first got three geese three pilgrim geese. I got one yellow gosling and two gray goslings. I thought I was set. Came to find out 10 months later. One of my gray girls was a mister, which tells me the breeder I bought them from messed up the auto sexing jeans...

yes i use grass clippings too! lovely work you have done there !

oh, and what kind of ducklings might we see from these combinations? My ladies are a Cayuga and a Khaki Campbell. drake was fw runner

these 2 lovely ladies arrived yesterday. Olive and Acorn 💕. and it just so turns out that the eggs they are laying now are likely have been fertilized by a fawn and white runner Drake (before a fox attacked his flock , and these two are the only survivors) but while I was brainstorming on what...

he was getting better then he got worse . The bowed out leg straightened up, which pushed the foot further into the other foot.

oh yes that’s right! i actually have some birdie booties in my first aid kit. I got some for chickens, some for ducks and some geese too . The duck ones were too big for my fawn and white runner though. frankie is small right now and his little foot is pretty tiny. I guess I could measure it...

he trips over it especially with the boot. so he takes a few steps and lays down. I left the boot off all day today and he’s happier and walks a little better. But is definitely walking on the side of the foot not the bottom of the foot. I guess if he continued walking that way, he might build...

Frankie pilgrim gosling now 10 days old - we been doing massages, swim therapy, vitamin B complex, and boot wraps. and prayers! i don’t know if i should keep putting boot on or not? she stumbles a lot more with it on. what do you think?

the yellow ducklings are standard pekins 😄 they’re just smaller because they’re a week younger.

i say do it, and then get more new babies

oh oh my my ! so blessed! and Olive is one of the names Ive been considering!

yes warm water, a place to stand, and only did 5 minutes at 5 days old, 6 minutes at 6 days, etc, never leave the room keep an eye on them the whole time, dry them well with paper towels, then put them right under the heat lamp or whatever heat source you are using. my Frankie Gossling sorely...

This one is a wild child. goes hysterical if it sees you coming from a mile away. you can see the crazy eyes look. was near impossible to get a good pic . reminds me of something that you might find growing wild in the forest. Mushroom? 🍄‍🟫
