    New home needed for 3 baby ducks in North Texas

    We have three ducklings that are about 7 weeks old that need a forever home. We took the babies in and were fostering them for the past few weeks. They were impulse buys from a local farm store. The people who had them had clearly no idea about ducks and how to care for them. After they figured...

    I've got six healthy Pekin ducklings that are three weeks old today. Two of them are pretty small compared to the others should I get worried? I weighted them and they both are 175 grams compared to 400 grams for the others which is more then double the size :eek:. They are acting healthy and...

    Will ducklings kill chicks?

    Hey! I have a lot of chickens, and about 20 baby chickens to add to the flock! Some are almost two weeks old, and some may be a week or two older. The issue is, we also want to add ducklings to the mix! They will have their own separate area of course, but I was wondering, since ducklings are...

    I'm not sure if I want to take them away or let her try, shes doing really well so far. If I let her hatch them they'd be Welsh harlequin x khaki Campbell. I was wondering why I wasn't getting many eggs... There are 13.

    Worried that I gave treats to my ducklings too early

    Hello, everyone. I am a first time duck owner and completely inexperienced with any bird care previously to this. I learned online that ducks love peas, kale and dandelions and have been feeding them this for the last couple of days. I’m not exactly sure how old they are, I ordered them from...

    So I have two ducklings, although now they’re almost fully feathered and grown, along with a chicken (that’s about 3 months old) and the two ducks seem to have separation anxiety with each other when separated.

    Need ideas

    I thought my water bowl was deep enough for my ducklings. Or at least it was till they doubled in size. I need to come up with something that will work for them but my chicks can easily get out. (one of my chicks are very curious and will jump into the water) one of my ducks has been sneezing...

    Swedish Duckling Question

    Helloooo! Years ago I had someone come to my house and ask me if I could take 3 ducklings because they saw that they were standing on the side of the road with the possible mother that was hit by a car right next to them. I took them and we had bought other ducks like Pekins, Magpies, Rouen...

    Re-Homing ducklings Florida

    My two hens had 25 ducklings between the two of them. They are three weeks old now and I can only keep 6 (based on my pen size). The babies are French whites. (The three dark colored ducklings I traded with the owner I got my original three from) Because I have three French whites, I wanted to...

    I'm fairly new to having backyard poultry, only for about a year and a half. I bought my first chicks from TS in September 2020. They told me to feed them chick starter, which I did and all was fine but they did not recommend any other type of supplements, vitamins or electrolytes. When the...

    Is Fluoridated and Chlorinated Water Safe for Ducklings?

    My Muscovy ducklings hatched over a week ago and they’re starting to bathe in their water bowl. I’ve been giving them bottled water but I’m wondering since I now live in town and am on chlorinated and fluoridated water if it’s safe for them to swim in and drink as they get older? I never had...

    Does my duckling have signs of a Niacin Deficiency?

    I recently added 2 ducklings to my flock and I’m worried they might have a niacin deficiency. I’ve never raised ducks before only chickens. They’re about 4 weeks old (give or take) and I only started giving them niacin supplements about a week ago after 1 was showing some signs. But both seem...

    Have I Caused Shrink wrapping??

    OK so I am hatching a batch of socks and eggs. This hatch seems different than any hatch I’ve had before as a bunch of shell got knocked off and the membrane was showing and it looked pretty solid and dry. I ended up opening the incubator with 10 other eggs already picked to look at this egg...
