    Ducklings hatched 6/8 (Boise Idaho)

    I have 4 ducklings left. Local only please, I don't have experience shipping. The origin of these is somewhat mysterious as we have multiple potential mothers but they are all grey with yellow bellies. One is crested, so all should be treated as if they have the crested gene (do not breed to...

    First time duck broody, help!

    Hello. My year and a half old KC has decided to go broody. This is the third time she's done this recently, and I have decided to let her hatch out some babies. The thing is, my drake is pretty young, and just got his drake feathers a month ago. His sister is not quite laying yet. There...

    My poor broody KC

    I have a KC hen who constantly goes broody. She will make her little nest under some tarps in the duck house, and happily sit on 10+ eggs indefinitely. I don't have a drake, so there's very little chance of any ducklings, but she always gets so upset when I finally get the heart to clear out...

    Duck breed mixup?

    Bought these ducks at the D&B. The browns were supposed to be brown runners, but they don't look like it to me. Any ideas? Sadly the blue swedish and one of the browns was killed by a raccoon the day after these were taken, but I am still curious what the remaining duck is. We have two new...

    Ducklings very different sizes (cute pictures)

    I have two crested ducklings I picked up from someone on Craiglist. They are about 5-6 weeks old. Here they are today, taking their nap. Biter (the black) is almost 1.5 times larger than Poof (the fawn). They are from the same hatch. I saw the father, he was an average sized black duck...

    What are the differences between brahma lines?

    I am interested in breeding light brahmas for show and a bit of profit (selling culls for pet quality). I had one of these hens as a child, and I love the breed for their hardiness, size, and calm personalities. I have had a hard time finding information about the different lines of light and...
