They are about 2 1/2 months old. The girls were doing a majority of the "fighting" but they are all getting along now. There was only one duckling that was smaller than the adult hens that I was worried about. But all happy now. It will be different when I add the 3 chicks, they are much...

So we let the babes join the flock. There was some fighting but now everyone seems to be getting along. Sorry about your loss @PotatoWaffles

Lol all the adult ducks were playing in the snow when we brought the crate in. They came inside to see what all the fuss was and I said "Howard, you ARE the father!" Lol

Well they have been put in the crate and took a sleigh ride to the coop. So far everyone is quacking and shaking of tail feathers and it appears to be getting along. Would a momma duck know they are their babies if they didnt hatch them?

They all get locked in at night so that wouldn't be a problem :)

Thank you! This is our first winter with the peeps & quacks (my nickname for our feather babies). So far only the ducks are big enough to join the"big" kids. Our 3 chickens are much smaller than the older birds so we plan to keep them in a little while longer. I am thinking about putting them in...

Our ducklings are getting to big for the brooder :/ they are almost 3 months old and fully feathered. We took the heat lamp out 2-3 weeks ago. The temp in the basement is about 53*. What is the next step to the coop? There is a heat lamp on 24/7 in the coop. I dont know what the temp in the...

I heard the corn starch thing before but never tried it. I wonder what caused it to break.

Thank you both! Corn starch got it to stop. We have this one separated and will keep an eye on it. Never had this happen before.

I was trying to find something with pictures. I wasn't sure u f they meant the whole feather or just the keritan shaft...

its just starting to get its feathers... is it a pin feather? Looks like just from the tip. Not sure what to do :(

Please help! One of our ducklings is bleeding from their wing. Trying to get a picture is difficult. Any suggestions on what to do?

@RavynFallen Congratulations on the hatch! So cute!

Thanks :) 3rd times the charm. I am 95% sure 3 are Rouen Khaki crosses (the brown feet make me think they are) but not sure if the fluffy yellow one is a Peking or a Peking Khaki cross.

good luck on your hatch

Heres a pic of my babies. The oldest duckling is a week old today

Yeahhhh for #3!

yes it gets pretty cold up here on the 45th parallel. Last winter and 2 weeks of -20*. Fingers crossed it doesn't get that cold again. I want to put a grate in it to elevate it so they aren't walking in over splash. Here's Hunter and the chickens And #2 just hatched.

I put the bottom portion of a corner standup shower in the coop for the waterer to sit in :-)

They are doing great. Earlier I put new duckie named Hunter in a clear plastic salad container (no lid on it of course) so it could gain its strength. Now they are all sleeping in a pile together :) 2 eggs zipping, 2 others are pipped and 3 more taking their time
