I just lost five ducklings died and wanted to do a necropsy to see if I need to burn my brooder(joking sort of). However, Colorado wants $100!?? Is that a normal sum? I read that some of states do them for free.

I’m so upset! Five of my silver apple yard ducklings from Metzer are dead. They died within an hour of showing symptoms. However, they also seemed smaller than the one left and never quite as vigorous as the one left. I bleached the brooder and all my equipment before they arrived. I do mix my...

Hey, I’m interested in adding some more Ancona ducks (hens only) to my flock. I’m having a difficult time finding any available online or locally. Cackle had them, but no more. In Colorado Springs area

Anyone have any good experiences with Serenity Sprouts? I’m in a panic now. I just searched on here and saw all the reviews of people that got chicks with Marks from them. I bought 4 pullets and am due to pick them up this morning. I’m kind of freaking out about it. I should have checked here...

I have four Ancona drakes located in North Colorado Springs. I’m interested in swapping a drake for another pure Ancona. I’ll post pictures of the two I’d use to swap.

We ordered Red Rangers for meat hens and took the Murray McMurray surprise offering. I’m guessing this little one is a australorp, probably male. Any other guesses?

My ducks are living in my garden area, and I built them a tiny pond there. Other than loving my ducks and the house my husband built for them, it’s a bit disastrous. The pond has never looked tranquil or inviting. The ducks definitely want to eat anything in it. They ate the Lilly’s to the mint...

I made this video with our duckling drake or duck predictions. Our Ancona ducklings are between 2-3 weeks in this video. We have 14 ducklings we bought from a local breeder, straight run. Surprisingly , I think we have 9/10 ducks in the mix!

Hello, I’m finishing up my haphazard pond I decided to make for my ducks. I’m trying to figure out different filtration systems for my pond. There is not a nearby source of electricity , and I can’t seem to find a solar pump online, so I’m afraid a traditional pump/filter system may not be an...

I find the feed choices for duckings extremely confusing! I hear so many different recommendations online. We live in an area that I can get waterfowl and game bird feed. I’ve only found duck starter one place, and the protein percentages are making my head spin. The one duck starter was 20%...

Hello, haven’t posted in a bit. We’ve kept chickens now several times, in different parts of the country. I’ve now moved on to ducklings, and after a little research decided to get Ancona ducklings. I bought from a breeder, and all of them seem extremely healthy, except one. We call it...

We’ve lived in Oregon for the past five years, but my husband recently was offered a position in the Plano area. Having grown up in NE Texas, I’m somewhat familiar with the area. So just this past evening I’ve gone through a bout of insomnia, and one of my minds many tangents of anxiety went to...

A chicken has been visiting my flock, and stealing food. It’s very pretty, with brown, blue, and white coloring. Appears to be a teenager. I’ve got it in a separate crate. Going to check if my neighbors got a new bird, but not sure where else it may have come from.
