Hi everyone! I have recently switched from Mazuri to Flock Raiser since my flock has grown to save some money. I have noticed that the eggs taste a little fishier since I have done that. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, now that all of my ducks are grown, would there be something better...
I found Daisy’s first egg this morning! It weighs 1.7 ounces. The shell is pretty thin but it is not soft. I am so proud! I don’t think she knows she laid it though!
sad news! My dogs just barked at something outside. My husband got up to check on the ducks and something small like a muskrat or otter ran across the yard. Sure enough, he found Cricket. He said there was no blood, but there were feathers, and her body was already stiff. It makes me wonder if...
:sick
I have been seeing a few piles of this recently. Most of the poop I see is more solid and the same color as their food, a really light brown color. Should I be concerned?
P.S. Shortly after this picture was taken, my dog rolled in it
Sorry for the double post, but I thought a new thread would attract more attention. The original post is here.
Okay, I have some more questions about my Cricketbug. She has been feeling a lot better recently, but she prefers mostly to hang out by herself and sleeps more than my other ducks...
One of my girls, Daisy, likes to randomly let out an extremely loud quack, almost like she is in distress. I watched her do it the other day, and there wasn’t another duck nipping at her or chasing her, and she was just standing there. It doesn’t alarm the other ducks either. What does this mean?
Good morning! I have a crop of White Acre peas planted, and they are doing well, except for the fact that they have been taken over by ants! I spray with dish soapy water and sprinkle garlic powder, which seems to help with the other bugs, but not the ants. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! I...
Is it possible? I was browsing through some pictures on Google and came across what was labeled as a Khaki Campbell, but his head feathers had a blue sheen instead of a green sheen.
I keep my duck feeder outside of their house, but it is hanging under a little shelter I built. The food they spill gets moldy, and when I try to rinse it off, it just goes somewhere else’s and gets moldy. Is there anything I can safely spray in that area to get rid of the mold? Thanks!
Is this a pepper plant? I planted pepper seeds from a grocery store bell pepper, but this looks more like a tomato to me, although I don’t see how that could be possible. I have tomatoes, but very far away from this plant, and I have never had any tomato seeds. Is this a pepper plant, or might...
Good morning everyone! I am searching for people who raise ducks in Georgia. I want to have some contacts in case I ever want to trade/sell/buy any ducks. I am in Milledgeville, Georgia, about 1.5 hours south of Athens.
Good morning! I have been a member here for a month or two now, but I have yet to introduce myself. My name is Katie, and I live on Lake Sinclair in Milledgeville, GA. I am an accountant working on my Masters Degree and my CPA. I have a husband, a dog, a cat, and (most importantly) four Khaki...
I just wanted to share some videos of my babies! All four are Khaki Campbell ducks. Sammy and Rufus are about 2 months old and Daisy and Cricket are about 3 weeks old. My dog is a Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) and her name is Elliott (Ellie). The girls have been staying in a see-no-touch...
I have two 1 week old ducklings that got out and were chased by my older ducks today. They are fine, but during the craziness, one started having a gooey snot-like substance come out of her mouth. When they calmed down, it seemed to go away. Should I be worried about this? Thanks in advance!
I received two female KC ducklings from Metzer this morning. They seem to be really healthy and have been in good spirits. However, every now and then, they start fighting, pecking at each other's faces and bills. It doesn't seem like they are playing, because they are doing it pretty hard...
i am growing four Roma tomato plants and four Beefsteak tomato plants. There are two Romas that have a tomato on them, but it seems like the flowers on the Beefsteak plants are not developing and are falling off. Is this a pollination problem? What should I do?
