Thank you for sharing your experiences. The first "batch" my ducks laid all ended up having those tiny lightening bolt looking cracks throughout. As I earlier stated none hatched except one , one I had to assist as it was completely shrink wrapped and still hadn't absorbed the yolk. It was...
That was my thinking last time and I pulled half of each ducks eggs. Half I incubated and half I left for nature to do its thing. None of the ducks hatched at all. Only one miraculously hatched for me...however it started hatching and was almost out of shell and I could clearly see the yolk...
Yes... 2 pairs of mandarins. The first clutch of eggs and now this one.. I only went in when the ducks were out of the box ...taking a quick swim. I check each box to see how many eggs they are sitting on. Then anywhere between 20 & 25 days I go back in and quickly shine my lil flashlight on...
Both my ducks seem to be crushing and cracking their own eggs. Separate nesting boxes. I grabbed 2 of 6 out of the one ducks nest (the other 4 were fine) All 6 are moving and I can see their little beaks in the air cell. So any day now I'm hoping to have little ones running around. However the...

I went ahead and ordered some eggs off Ebay, I sell my Royal Palm Turkey eggs there so I can only hope the same good quality and care are put into these maran eggs. 🤞
It's crazy how difficult they are to find! Had I known I would have bought a heck of a lot more chicks 3 years ago when I got them just bc they were cheap. Lol. I paid only $3 /b. Looking back at pictures they were pretty comparable to snowbird quality..but I never paid much attention bc I've...
I've always been an incubator of eggs so I'm used to those guidelines. I've only had one Buff Orp lay and hatch eggs, but I was not around for the process..she took off one day and actually thought nature got ahold of her until almost 2 months later showed up with 14 babies. Lol. Okay, I...
i ended up taking some out while a few eggs were pipped...i did it real quick though and according to my digital monitor it only dropped 5% humidity but came back up within a few minutes. I left that one poult with the bloody naval in there overnight with the other hatching chicks and was...
I have 5 that hatched out, 4 are in the brooder, 3 I'm still waiting to hatch, and 1 is stilling the incubator ... Seeing that you're the turkey master here, lol, have you had one with a bloody protruding navel? Should i keep that little one in the incubator until it closes up? I still have the...
Haha!!!! You're silly. :P
Im up to 3 pips. I'm pretty much glued to the Bator, its so exciting watching the eggs rock back n forth. :D
hopefully by tomorrow when i wake up they will have made more progress.
