I have some pheasants in an enclosed run and there are five hens and one male. Two of them have been sitting on a clutch for a while and I knew they were getting close. So when we checked on all of the other birds we also went to check them and came across two dead babies that looks like they...

Have raised pheasants but never incubated Can someone tell me the basics on temp and humidity for them please. Thank you.

This one pipped on the bottom side of it's egg. Should I flip it right side up?

Do turkeys take as long as chickens to hatch out once pipped? I have some that are pipped and it seems that the membrane is drying very quickly. Resisting the urge to help them. Temp is 99 and humidity it around 77%

We have lost 4 chickens over the past 2 weeks...3 hens and one 3 year old rooster. All same injuries...a hole on their back above vent areas. No other sign of injury. What is getting our birds?!? Coop is enclosed. And their outside run is enclosed from overhead predators

Went to co-op this morning and I find this girl. Hole is above tail feathers. Won't open eyes and her head just keeps sliding down the side of her before she picks it up. She did drink a bit for me but that's it. I have her inside. I have no vetRX or anything and can't leave to go to store. But...

My hatch, that i screwed up on, is hatching. I have 17 ducklings out and happy but one of them has a leg that is completely behind it and toes curled up. I have already tried putting the bandaid around the legs to pull them under its body but the muscles in the funky leg are pulling the good leg...

Lockdown of duck eggs was friday evening. All eggs had great progress. Upped humidity to 64% (using a 1502 Sportsman incubator). As of this monring, monday, no eggs pipped but a couple eggs are rocking....shouldnt they be hatched by now? Parents are a mix of rouen, white layer, khaki and a...

Just a question. Went out this morning to let ducks out and came across two dead hens. One was in the locked up coop with its next twisted back and bent sitting on eggs in their tire nest box. The other was outside next to their water tank...neck meat and breast eaten out of it but spinal cord...

Hey guys. We had a hen hatch out a duckling sometime this morning. I did not see it around 7 when i let everyone out but my husband found it struggling around lunch time. Its head and beak were caked with dirt and when he tried to give it back to the hen she bolted away from it. Duckling was...

Went out today and my hen was in their pool with her head cocked to the side. I thought she was just trying to get leverage out of the pool. However, she is out and walking around and her head is still cocked, causing her to mostly go in circles....whats wrong?

I had a duckling that was half out of its shell since 5 am. He was pipped since yesterday morning. I cracked open a tiny piece, less than an eraser size to allow him to get his head out. He came out and had a bunch of goup on him. I picked him up, put him in a cup with a damp towel and placed...

We had a rat problem with our baby ducks in the garage about a month ago now. We caught the rat, left the trap out and have gotten nothing else. Baby chicks and ducks have been in enclosure with bigger ducks and chickens for three weeks or so. Today we go out to let them free range and i find...

I bought 15 ducklings. 2 were dead upon arrival. We left last night for a little while and came home to 5 missing ducklings. We cleaned out our garage today after moving ducklings inside last night and found these three. What animal does this? The first one has a snapped neck as well

I have the attached incubator (look at photo) and having an issue with keeping the humidity where it needs to be. I understand the more expensive incubator the better control over things, but thats not in the cards for us right now. Any suggestions on how to keep the one i have under better control?

I inherited this guy with the house when we bought it in 2017. Anyone help?

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My husband and I started chickens in MT in 2013. We figured they were a good substitute for babies since we were only engaged at the time. We bought a house in 2017 in MN (our home state) and inherited chickens from the original...
