i would take them the same thing happened to me today and i put them back and the mother killed them. not uncommon for first time mothers, it is very sad.

it’s just so weird cause i have had plenty of broody hens (both good and bad mamas) and she was showing signs of being such a good one. yes, she is alone.

I am so so sad and confused. Last night, my broody hen hatched 9 beautiful chicks and was doing everything right. No lethargic chicks; everything was great. Went to go feed her this morning and there were five laying there bloody and dead (clearly pecked in the head) but the other 4 she was very...

And here is him when we first got him. (As you can see his neck was pretty bad. )

Here’s my sweet boy when his head first started to straighten out. (He was about 1 week old. )

hey all! This is just in case someone ever looks this up on google. Hi. I recently went through a long journey with a little duckling named twister. His neck had developed wrong and it was curved. If you have a duckling like this and need some advice, I’m answering some questions I had that I...

An incubator is definantly more ideal than a heat lamp if you ask me. Heat lamps are not designed to hatch eggs so the babies could die really fast. If I were you I would try to get my hands on an incubator for hatching so their eggshells aren’t dried out. But good job saving them!

Just looked it up.. they should hatch on about day 30 so this is good

Duck eggs typically hatch after day 21 so this is normal. I don’t think they look dead. If I were you put them back in the incubator and just see what happens... maybe do research on when duck eggs normally hatch especially for mallards.

Okay. So to make a long story short my incubator is awful but I wanted to let the remaining chicks develop fully to hatch and only one hatched and it fell under the hatching pad i don’t even know how so I had to unscrew the hatching pad and save it and there are other eggs that look like they...

Hi! The same exact situation happened to me with my 48 baby chicks at six weeks .. we decided to just leave them. Since they don’t have a roost they just bundle together wherever they can, (it’s very random.) now they are about 8-9 weeks and they still all sleep bundled up like that (plus five...

Hey everyone! So, here is the story. I have had a Magicfly incubator for awhile now and have hatched many chicks from it and normally get 95-100 percent hatch rate each time, (SUCH a good incubator) but I decided I wanted something bigger so I ordered a bigger incubator off of amazon with okay...

hey y’all! So I have ninety six chickens and I love incubating so I normally just incubate my own eggs, but I want to start branching out and getting some more rarer breeds. Does anyone know good places to get hatching eggs that are also on the cheap side? They would need to be Online and able...

I have had a chicken with the same thing and we just let her do her thing. She died at about one year old, but lived her best life until then. I don’t know what your duck looks like, but our sweet girl walked funny but could still walk. Can yours? Do you have any pictures? :)

ugh.. okay. So we have around 35 to 40 chickens, in three seperate coops. In one of the coops, (we call it the mixed breed coop) we have mixed breeds with 20 chickens in there and two roosters. (The roosters never really fight. ) Recently, the chickens are loosing their feathers and it is not...

Oh I also meant to add we would love advice on what to do about the bottle thing as well

HELLO! I know that this website is for chickens , but we don't know what to do. One of our baby goats has been stepped on by a horse, and it's leg is broken. We have been bottle feeeding it for four days now and it is not accepting the bottle very well. It's leg we think is either minor sprained...

Thank u to everyone that helped. I asked a friend who is a professional and she said the legs are DEFINANTLY splayed. They are out perfect on both sides of the poor little thing. We are making a brace right now and hoping for a full recovery, would lol keep you guys updated!
