    Super weird textured egg?

    Update: So I’ve been giving them crushes eggs shells and she hasn’t laid an egg since the weird egg.. when I cracked the egg it was super thin like the shell was just falling apart because it was soo thin and usually the duck egg shells are super thick and harder to crack than the chicken eggs.

    Hi, I’m looking to add a couple more ducks to my flock and I had a great experience with Murray mcmurray last year but this year their prices seem a bit too high. I only want to get 2 hens so I can replace the two drakes I’m going to sell and I would like to get a runner hen and a welsh...

    Help! Ducks foot fell off!!

    @HeatherKellyB She is doing a lot better! Yes, the vet said they couldn’t do a lot for her. But they said it wasn’t infected and that the black scab would most likely fall off. So that’s good. She also said having her wear a shoe would be a good idea for this winter. So now I’m trying to find a...
