    How to integrate late hatched ducklings with others.

    Once they are fully grown and you have lots of room for them all I think they will get along fine. Right now they probably feel like they are invaders going to hurt their babies since they don't recognize them as their own.

    If you have a huge pen and places where they can get away from each other a bachelor flock might work. I never knew when I used to let my Mallard hatch out her babies that the hen is what determines the sex of the babies. She had 35 ducklings over the years and out of all of them 2 were hens...

    What sex are these?

    I think I see two male Khaki's and one female. Can you tell by their voices now? The dark rump ones are usually males is what I was going by.

    How to integrate late hatched ducklings with others.

    I am glad that you made that decision. I had two born in my house from my incubator 9 days apart and it took 5 days of separation and watching them constantly to put them together. They are best friends now and 2 months old. I wasn't sure at first if I was ever going to be able to do it.

    Can you tell what kind of duckling this is?

    It looks like quite a mixture to me. Possibly Black Sweddish with the yellow on chest, the black one might be Cayuga, the brown one Khaki Campbell, and not sure about the other two. Cute ducklings though.

    What happened to me when I did that was my huge Muscovy drake tried to mate my Mallard drake so I ended up getting rid of both of them. I felt bad for the Mallard drake and could not stop the Muscovy from trying to mate him all day.

    What Breed Of Duck Should I Get?

    I ended up getting 7 of the pens from Tractor Supply like the ones they keep their chicks and ducks in during the spring. My husband and son were able to connect them all together. It's somewhat of a maze but they can go from one pen to the other with lots of shelters and hiding places. They...

    My rapey drakes started in March here, they are still going strong too. They won't want to quit until around October or November and even then will still act out every once in a while, just not as bad. I am lucky they are all small so that my girls do not really get hurt by them. My Hens...

    I have heard of people having wild ones get in their pools. Hopefully they will not get in yours. They can make quite the mess, lol.

    How to sex call ducklings by plumage colour? “Needing advice”

    I have Call ducks and mine are Pastel colored ones from Metzer Farms. I just hatched two out from my incubator and got 2 females but it took a while to figure out because they both whistled and did not quack for a while. They are more of a gray color than the tan of their Mother so sometimes...

    Thanks for the information, I appreciated it. I am going to wait until my two young Calls are 5 months old to be on the safe side.

    Good luck with yours Frank. I haven't caught anything yet and maybe there is nothing lurking around but I got one just in case. I used sardines too and didn't think I would ever get the smell off of my hands. Next time I will use gloves, lol

    What should a chicken keeper know about ducks?

    I have 26 ducks. I have had ducks ever since 2020. I have large containers of water for them but no pools or pond. They can get in some of them to wash off and others they do not fit in so they can drink out of them. It has been 97 degrees here in Ohio the last two days so I have given them...

    What Breed Of Duck Should I Get?

    I have several types of ducks and my tamest ones are my Rouen and Muscovy. They used to never like me to touch them but when I have their large bown of salad every day sitting on my lap they absolutely don't care and I can pet them all the while they are eating. If I have no food they are...

    Is it legal for a public park to release domestic breed ducks?

    I saw a domestic Rouen duck stay on a person's pond the entire winter here in Ohio. Our temperatures stayed very cold and the pond was entirely frozen except for one little spot in the middle where it stayed. It survived which surprised me. It was wrong of them to ban you from the park after...

    Call ducks

    That is where I got mine also. I lucked out and got a pair but some people I know orderd 6 and got 5 males and 1 female. They are sold unsexed and I am not sure if mine are show quality or not but very small and very cute. I got the pastel colored ones last year and incubated two of their...

    I should have looked at your pictures again. Mine is laying flat on the ground. I never knew you stick them actually in the ground. I must sound really goofy, sorry, I have never seen or used anything like this before. I am going to go out and redo it.
