My ducks are about 5 weeks old and have been acting perfectly fine. Both quacking and and wagging their tails and running around a lot in their coop and run space not hunched and their eyes look fine. I have noticed their breathing more but I figured it's just because they are a heavier breed...

So my two Cayugas are about 2 weeks old now. Once they get feathered out I had wanted to have them outside on my pond. I know it takes about 7-8 weeks for them to be fully feathered. Right now it's a little snowy and cold but not too bad. My question would be, is there something I need to do to...

I had originally thought my ducklings internally pipped because I saw their beaks coming through when I candled them. I waited 24 hours and then put a little needle sized safety hole. Then waited another 24 hours and made a slightly bigger hole only to find out that they actually hadn't...

So my remaining 2 eggs were internally pipped yesterday and I waited 24 hours, but they seemed to have made no progress. I also previously had not seen the eggs move which concerned me. I candled them just to see if they were still moving and thankfully both were. I took a sterilized needle...

Well all my eggs died but 2 and the ones that survived have some strange air cells. Is there anything I can do to help them? Both look like the embryo is still alive. I still see intact veins and they are growing a little more each day. I've started taking the eggs out for 10 minutes to get to...

So I've been using this incubator from Amazon with automatic turning (long rollers you put the eggs on their side) and they've been incubating for about 5 days now. I have been checking if the eggs have been rotating for the first few days but these last couple days I didn't check the back row...

So, I'm on a bit of a budget and I want to make a duck run that's both cost effective and also good at keeping predators out. We have lots of racoons in my woods so those are the main issue. (I don't have ducks right now but I'm planning ahead for when the babies hatch :D ). I had thought...

Hi, so I will be incubating duck eggs for the first time and one of the things I'm most confused about is what feed should I use for the ducks once they get older. I found a quite affordable feed from a local farm store and it's called "Purina Duck Feed Pellets 40 lb." it has 60 ppm niacin and...
