duck

Looking to sell 3 pekin ducks in the chicago area. PM me for questions. All ducks were born on 5/14/2024. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I can no longer take care of them. All healthy ducklings.

I have a Pekin duck I took in and it was born (I've been told) with toes curled in and crooked legs. It walks really oddly- One leg is often back at an angle and the other is at an angle too. Anyways I tried to do the make a splint thing but it didn't like it and couldn't move at all with them...

Hi there! Early April this year me and my housemates (I live in a 5 person collective in the Danish countryside) found an abandoned duck's egg and brought it in. We made sure to not go near it for 3 days in case the mother came back. We cared for the egg with a lot of knowledge from this...

Pancake my little mallard drake was bullying one of my geese relentlessly and I’ve followed this people on this site advice and separated them. So far, success. Also it turns out part of the problem was that they both feel they own me and so I now don’t pet them in each others view. But now a...

I have two khaki campbell drakes free to a good home. I'm in the Fruitland Park area of central florida!

My Indian Runner has been on 3 eggs, all were viable, I have seen all the signs when candling. The first hatched yesterday but there is no sign of the other two hatching. How long should I leave it before removing the eggs? Thanks for your help and advice

I had a lot of fun creating the last 2 “Videos of My Ducks” during my Hatch-Along, so I decided to make another! I hope y’all enjoy :)

This is my first batch of call duck eggs. Started out w/ 12. Now only 2 have hatched. The first one looks completely fine. This little guy clearly didn’t absorb all the yolk and there’s a little clear string attached to the belly that goes to the egg. What do I do ? Is there any saving it. I’ve...

My faithful little drake is an a-hole. He’s a wild Mallard (not protected in my country) that I raised after finding him as a day old baby in a busy road September 2023. He’s not mean to me but he persecutes one of my geese mercilessly. Maybe she’s a gander? He was hand raised alongside my two...

Hello! I am making this post in hopes that someone can suggest something to help my duck… I have a Muscovy duck named SPLASH who is quite old, he is about 15 yrs old, has lost sight in one eye, but still kicking :) SPLASH has always had wat we just called a ‘wonky wing’ ((we assumed he injured...

Hello. I would like to add some new duck breeds in my yard... I already own Indian Runner ducks and chickens. I would want to add at least one breed that could live and free range together with my birds - with these qualities if possible : 1 - good egg layers (a breed that lays even in winter...

Hello, My two year old male pet duck Cheese has been having issues with eating for almost a week now. He is still eating but in very small amounts and it continues to decrease as the days go on. He used to devour his meal worms and now is barely touching them. He is drinking normally. As for...

I have two Indiana runner ducks that I got from a farm in Fort Collins at the same time as my four chickens. They turned out to be drakes, unexpectedly, and have started to aggressively mount my chickens so it’s time for them to find a new home. Would anyone be willing and able to give Hurry...

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...

Hey there, I have a female buff duck, almost 2 years old, who recently has started acting strange. We first noticed that when the flock would venture to the neighbors yard she would stop walking, drop her wings and wanted to be carried back to our yard. This is very unusual as our ducks do not...

A few nights ago a predator attacked and killed 2 out of 3 of my ducks. It even ate the eggs my female duck was sitting on. The one who survived is devastated 💔. He wont eat, quack, or enjoy his day. My family is sad but we need to to find a new home with ducks so he can hopefully be a happy...

I came across my duck laying down, barely able to move this morning. He is unable to stand or move much and it appears that he is unable to open his bill on his own. He has been cheeping constantly. I do not see any physical injures but am new to ducks. I did check the band on his leg but it’s...
