Machine turner. But before when I didn't have a machine turner, I turned them myself. Except I think I messed up on being consistent on it a few times; meaning I turned them adequately but not always at the same time because of the business of the day. And this is my first time using a...

That is really cool. I'm happy for you.

So is Rural King a hatchery? And are they any good? I used Metzer to get mine. And they came all intact and life (maybe because of asking for gro gel also?).

So I wanted to ask... What kinds of differences of hatch rates did you guys see by adding an egg turner/rotator in your incubator, compared to hatch rates without them? I'd had a lot of issues with incubators not turning out in the past. So I'm hoping if other people had a difference of their...

So about 3 months ago I was raising some ducklings and my heat lamp exploded. I was shocked by this. I was right next to it when it happened, and glass everywhere. There was also a small fiery pop at first also. (Is someone sabotaging these at the plants they are made? In theory, you could...

Wow. Sounds like it took even longer for yours. Thanks for your reply.

Nice thought about the camouflage! Thanks.

So I was reading that swans for certain types may only have their flight feathers during certain parts of the year. They'll grow them only for migrations and then might lose them. But they also will still be able to fly for many non-migratory breeds, though for shorter flights. And mallards...

So... This has me really curious and I thought I'd bring it up. People say that you can get ducks to live up to 15 years. But depending on the breed some will quote as little as 10 years. But they also will quote 20 years! (Swans and Geese can be quoted for longer than both of these...

OK, new question popped up about fermented feed. Let's say you have a group of ducks on one side; group A. And you have a group of ducks on the right side, group B. Now let's say they are all ducklings and you are all raising them this way. Now let's say you feed one group ONLY dry feed, and...

So I thought I might post a thought about these Welsh Harlequinn ducks. They are really pretty. And I've been shocked. But initially not long after I got them, I was worried about it because the colors of their beaks and heads was different than their pictures. I thought they were defective...

I think the welsh harleys are the prettiest duck breed out of all of them. They are just so amazing.

Thanks very much. It truly takes a lot of skills and applied thinking in agricultural sciences. Interesting!

If chickens need 4 ounces of food, and ducks need 6 ounces each per day. Then... are you counting the water as part of that weight or taking the water as less than whole part of the measurement in calculating this? Sorry, I'm working out the kinks and wanted to ask this. I did want to...

Curious what you think about this. The question is as the thread title is. One of the reasons why I wondered this is that they do burrow when you watch youtube videos of them in colony style setups. Like the Peeble's Rabbit Colony video series. But at the same time when its really early or...

Wow. Excellent guide. Thank you. (And that one on the right, possibly a Welsh Harley?)

Sorry to follow up question; When do roast duck with like potatoes and carrots around it, are you supposed to put a gravy in there too? Or do you also only add the liquid, gravy (or whatever you put in?) after its cooked a certain time? Thanks. One of my relatives wants to do something weird...

Barn cats are fun too hahaha.

Very much so, I would like to hear about it. Thanks. Its exciting to try something.

Amazing! That's very cool. Thanks.
