duckling

Hi. Sorry : I am copying my thread from the Ducks forum, since I think I should actually post it here : "Please help : I just broke half of the eggshell of an unborn duckling. I thought he could not get out of his egg alone, since egg was half broken yesterday, and the hatching stopped since...

Hello. Please help : I just broke half of the eggshell of an unborn duckling. I thought he could not get out of his egg alone, since egg was half broken yesterday, and the hatching stopped since then... When I broke the eggshell this morning, duckling did not move. I don't know if he is just...

I got these 5 ducklings from tractor supply. I love them to death, but am wondering what breed they might be and if there's a way to sex them without vent sexing as I do not want to harm them. They are still small only about a week old. I believe the two yellow and black may be Black Swedish...

Hey everybody! Introducing my “light-fixed wing” addition to my flock (they will all be named after aircraft; bonnie (bonanza), cirrus, piper, otter, and cessna, given out once their personalities come out more 🤣). Now, I have one sweet babe who has presented with issues. One day she had a...

Hi all— I’ve been referencing this form a lot for my newly hatched ducklings, but I haven’t found a definitive answer on this. I have five, five day old ducklings, and this morning, woke to one not standing like the rest. I immediately tried to make some diy sugar solution and also mashed some...

Good morning everyone. I started incubating duck eggs for the first time 26 days ago. My first duck was born in day 24 and the second in day 25 im still waiting for more of them to hatch. But the second born duck has apparently some neck problem and cant put his head straight, he also walks...

Hi, I incubated 3 call duck eggs with my chicken eggs just to see if they were even fertilized. Well we candled all the chicks and duck eggs that didn’t hatch and it seemed there wasn’t anything in any of them. We went outside to crack open the eggs to identify why the eggs didn’t hatch...

Hello, all! I’m new here but I’ve been a longtime lurker without an account. But finally made an account because I am new to ducks and need some opinions. I have four 8 week old Pekins (pretty sure they’re jumbo 🤦🏼‍♀️) and one of them is struggling to keep her wings tucked in. When she walks...

Hello. After my first 12 Indian runner ducklings of 2024 - born between May 5th and May 7th... 10 new runners babies are now also born, this time between May 13th and May 14th. Here is a picture of some of them : (These poor, pretty babies are still shy, so I just can't take good enough...

Hello! My 12 first Indian Runner ducklings of this year are born between May 5th and May 7th...! ...Was a stressful experience, because for one : they were late. I had put their eggs on a broody Brahma hen on April 5th, and since last year, the ducklings were born at Day-25 or Day-26, I had...

I would be grateful for a little help in identifying this cutie. I got her yesterday from a neighbour who is in the egg industry, so I think she's probably a dark campbell, but is it possible she could be a cayuga? I'm not at all fussed, just trying to educate myself on breed identification.

Posted this on chicks but was advised to post it here. Hi all! I run a poultry farm and have hatched hundreds of eggs, and I’ve finally run into a first. I have a duck egg with high priority (laid by a now passed duck of importance to us) who is on day 41 with no pip or any indication of one...

Hi all! I run a poultry farm and have hatched hundreds of eggs, and I’ve finally run into a first. I have a duck egg with high priority (laid by a now passed duck of importance to us) who is on day 41 with no pip or any indication of one. We’ve hatched many ducklings and I incubated this one the...

Hello all, Our Indian Runner ducks laid eggs and diligently sat on them up until the first one hatched. The mother then accidentally suffocated the first baby so we removed the other eggs and very swiftly put them in the incubator. All 8 had pipped, and after 12 hours everyone but two had...

Advice on if I need to assist with this hatch. Newbie so I don't know what I'm doing. Not sure the exact days either. I don't want to lose the little duckling so any help would be great. Thank you. Incubation temp 100° Humidity 50%

I have two ducklings that I just got a day ago from tractor supply. One is completely fine, but the other is stumbling and every time he exhales I’m hearing a singular click. It all started today and he was fine about an hour before this all started happening. I checked his legs and feet for any...

One of my baby ducklings suddenly cant walk on his right foot I noticed yesterday then today I saw a red pimple-like thing coming out of bottom area - eating and drinking fine seems to clean up fine still loud but I am very worried. Also today seems that both legs are weak I am not sure is it...

Hey y'all, brand new to BYC so I appreciate any and ALL help and advice you have to offer. I had placed an egg in the incubator that appeared to be one laid by my sweet east indie girl, farrah.. much to my surprise it was actually a rare and weird white egg that is either one of my australorps...
