duck

Hello, I was observing my ducks feet and noticed a bump on one that was walking in front of me. She isn’t limping, but her bump is big! Please let me know how to identify this so I can help her!

Hi guys I haven't been here in a while but google has NOT been much help so I wanted to reach out to other duck owners for their opinions/experiences. Sorry the title is so dramatic, but that's pretty much the gist of what I am asking. Some information, I have a female mallard named Billy, she...

I have two ducklings that I just got a day ago from tractor supply. One is completely fine, but the other is stumbling and every time he exhales I’m hearing a singular click. It all started today and he was fine about an hour before this all started happening. I checked his legs and feet for any...

first baby hatched this morning at 8am others look like they will hatch later today!

Hi! I recently just adopted this adult female khaki Campbell duck 2 days ago and she hasn’t left the pond since. This is unsafe because I live in an area with a lot of predators. I have been trying to catch her to bring her up to her house but I have been unsuccessful for the past 24 hours. I...

I want to make this post to hopefully help others who are like me (first time duckling owner) who may be struggling with the same issues that my week old duckling Nugget was experiencing. I want to start by saying the advice and quick answers I have received in this group is AMAZING and I...

Hello! I have been a lurker on this website for a while, last year I very suddenly became responsible for raising six ducklings with zero experience and it is all because of this website that my babies have all grown up happy and healthy. However, I admit there is still sooo much I need to learn...

Hey y’all, I’ve got eleven ducks and I have a house for them to sleep in at night that I bed with large flake pine shavings. It gets SO dirty SO fast, so I was wondering if y’all had any tips for keeping things clean. I hate having to wash feces off my eggs the day after I clean their house. I...

I’m having immense difficulty in sexing my two silver Appleyard’s - they’re quacks sound similar and because I only have the two it’s hard to identify. They both do not have a drake feather and their black feathers on their heads ect. have no green iridescence. The only things that make me think...

This little beauty is I believe to be a Rouen or a mallard but I’m not sure! What do you think? Also the white one beside it what’s a pale bill, is that normal? Seems to be healthy and acts fine.

I’m a bit mad at myself for not noticing sooner, but one of my ducklings (6.5 weeks) appears to have angel wing in his left wing. I’m going to start treatment and get him wrapped up soon, but I’m wondering why he’s the only one who has it? The wings of his other 9 siblings all look lovely and...

Duck is breathing but membrane is broken and was bleeding. Tried to help it break free but popped a vein. Still in incubator.

I had a pair of two female Pekin Ducks but recently one of them sadly passed away. What is the best thing to do in this situation? Should I adopt another adult or get a duckling for her? Or should I not introduce another duck for a while, but how long is too long? How long can she be alone for...

The baby call duck just hatched today a day later than all the rest and I noticed there is something off with it's foot/ leg? I need help and advice my first time with hatching ducklings.

I recently got my chicken’s fecal float test back from our vet and she has 2 types of worms, they recommended this for deworming and I have seen it posted in groups. The only thing I am struggling with is how to administer it to our chickens? I plan to do the whole flock but my flock is small...

So, here's my dilemma. It's kind of a long story so please bear with me. We bought 2 ducklings from TSC and the same day bought 4 chicks from a local non-chain farm store. They've been raised together and do great together. We then hatched out (via incubator) 9 baby chickens that we are brooding...

Hi My mixed flock of ducks from Metzer farms has just started laying. I noticed that my magpie looks different than the rest, she has a hanging bit of flesh between her legs, on one side, I am not sure how to describe this. She acts just like the rest of the ducks. I do not know if she...
