I just candled our duck eggs and out of 25 eggs, one had the air cell at the little end. I have them in racks little end down in a Sportsman incubator. Everything seems to be developing normally on this egg but when I put them in the egg cartons at hatching time, should I put it upside down so...

My husband, Mark, made the pattern for these plant hangers and had them cast at the local foundry out of aluminum. They are original designs and made right here in Ohio. They measure 11" long by 8" tall and the backs are machined flat and drilled with 2 countersunk holes for easy attaching to...

Not for me but for a friend who just moved to Kingston OH from Georgia. She misses fresh eggs and doesn't know where to buy any and I offered to help. She works in Worthington and will drive to pick up. I don't get down that way often enough to supply her. If you can, please email or PM me...

Poor thing isn't going to make it. Should I process or just put her out of her misery? If I process, I'd have to do it inside because of the weather and at this point I think plucking would be too messy. I've never done a duck before and I'm considering skinning. Think the meat is ok?

We have an opportunity to sell duck eggs to a restaurant. The only problem is that we have to ship them. They don't fit in regular chicken egg cartons, and we will need gel packs to keep them cold. We've shipped many chicken and even some duck eggs for hatching, but never for eating. Anyone...

I found this online: https://www.ezcracker.com/Default.aspx?mid=537828&OVRAW=egg%20cracker%20gadget&OVKEY=egg%20cracker&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID=41715454022&OVKWID=206521987022 Looks like a decent product but does it really work? My dad won't eat duck eggs - he loves the taste but says they're...

This is an unbelievable story that I have to share. I set 3 of my silver Appleyard duck eggs in the incubator with 9 jumbo coturnix, 4 bobwhite quail, and 6 chickens. Everything else hatched and the ducks were last. One egg wasn't fertile but 2 were developing nicely. Friday I noticed a pip...

I noticed the pip Friday night after work. It's making some progress but it's still not zipped even halfway around. The hole is big enough that I can see the bill and see it moving. I haven't hatched ducks since last spring so I can't remember if this is normal progress or not. Note: I'm...

Even though DBF and I always agree to not exchange Christmas gifts, he always buys me something. Last year it was a DeWalt cordless drill, perfectly sized for my little hands. Another year it was a hunting jacket, insulated boots and gloves. Some women might freak at those gifts, but they are...

Our runner duck, Ivory, has been limping. We brought her in and washed off her feet and I'm not sure if this is bumblefoot or not. Never seen it on a duck, just on a chicken. We use wood chips in their pen which is now mostly mud. Her ankle (?) is swollen so she's on medication for that but...

DBF heard Bonnie on a local talk show and we checked out her website. She's creating an organic farm/CSA. She and I have been emailing and it sounds like she's on the right path to a fantastic local project but could use some help. I promised I'd help spread the word...

I came home tonight to find a chicken missing. It was a peep that I had hatched that never integrated with the others (which are down to 5 hens and 1 rooster due to other predator attacks). I lost track of age, but this little rooster was almost fully grown. I realized it was missing and set...

I have a hawk that has been perching and picking off sparrows. This morning it got one of my chickens. Please recommend a pellet gun that will handle a predator. Please also refrain from commenting if you disagree.

Do black Swedish drakes have a greenish cast to their head and purple in their body feathers? I have two drakes - one is black as described and the other is more of a slate/dark gray and his head is not turning greenish. I was told they were blue Swedish when I bought them as ducklings and now...

Should I worry? I've been out of town all week and had a friend watching my birds. I had the bag of lime on a pallet with the other feed bags because my garage gets wet. When I got home and let them all out, I noticed lime was mixed with their feed. Everbody seems fine and normal...?

Our ducks started laying roughly a month ago. When we were feeding the ducks the 16% layer feed, we were getting 3 eggs a day (one from each duck) but since we started feeding the 18% pellets, we have only gotten 1 a day since. Is the 18% too much protein for laying eggs? (Feeding Buckeye 18%...
