    16 weeks Mallard or Rouen?

    I acquired this little girl with another who unfortunately died from injuries the next day from a farm supply chain store. She has angel wing as a result of her injury. They were very tiny compared to the khaki Campbell and Runner ducklings in the tank, both were soaked and shivering. The one...

    Lone Mallard Duck-

    Hello! I have been a frequent visitor of a local man made pond, and a few months ago there was a Mallard family with one duckling. Fast forward to today, I believe there is one juvenile female all alone. She is very friendly, and wanders up to anyone that will give her attention. She swims by...

    This little girl

    This little girl came and hung out at the beach with us, in the shade of our umbrella for probably an hour. ( And no we did not leave our trash on the beach) She was so precious and all alone, I wanted to take her home with me so bad. But seriously the only ducks I've seen this close are my...

    Dead embryo? - Duck Eggs 25 days

    Hi there! I rescued a couple of Mallard duck eggs from my garden a few weeks back. The mother had been sitting on them for about a week before the nest was attacked (these two eggs were the only two left intact). The eggs seemed to be doing well in our incubator up until today, when I checked...

    Broody duck with ducklings

    My Rouen and mallard both went broody and one duckling has hatched! I have no experience with this and would love some tips! They are still sitting on a full nest so I’m guessing there’s more to come. Do I have to do anything special? The Rouen is keeping the other 3 ducks away from the one...

    Dry scaly duckling leg?

    Hi all, My duckling is 14 days old. Have noticed he has dry looking legs of late. He’s on starter feed but will be moving to grower feed tomorrow. Eats cucumbers, mealworms and duck safe fruit alongside while foraging in the garden for slugs and insect etc so think he’s getting a good mix of...

    Ducklings leg is weird. Can’t walk

    Hello, I hatched a duckling yesterday and it’s leg is like stuck to its side. It’s not stuck per se, but he’s unable to stretch it out. He is healthy and he’s moving fine, just can’t walk very well. I think it could be because he was inside the egg for too long or something similar. I had to...

    Abandoned wild duckling

    My neighbor found this little one in their yard and since they know I have ducks, they brought it to me 🥺 My own ducks are currently 9 weeks old and I’m keeping them separate from this one. I have a female Rouen and a male Chocolate Runner. I’m not sure on age, guessing around a day old...

    Weird hunching over/ruffled feathers/excessive quacking in my female mallard

    This is Becky, my mallard. She has always had a very spirited and sassy personality, but lately, she has been very stand-offish, doing some very gruff quacking and hunching her neck down/ruffling her feathers every time she sees me. In the picture, you can see that her neck is hunched down—I...

    Marking mallard ducklings

    I managed to hatch some domestic mallard eggs yesterday and I want to make sure I have done everything I can to make sure they aren’t mistaken for wild types. I already clipped the right toe, is there anything else I need to do?

    Dominant Mallard bantam hen won't let Call drake breed her and attacks him when he breeds other hens.

    My nearly three year old Mallard bantam still won't allow the blue fawn drake I introduce to them two weeks ago to breed any of the female ducks. He breeds the mallard hen he came with, and attempts to force the rouen hen to copulate (this rouen is the absolute best friend of my dominant mallard...

    Mallard duck day 30 of incubation.

    Hi everyone! I am in need of immediate assistance. I rescued a mallard duck egg that she had kicked out of the nest and cracked. I put wax over the crack and started incubating it just in case he was still alive. Well, we are on day 30 and he’s moving, etc. I believe he may have pipped...

    Considering Grey Mallard X Blue Fawn Pied Call... what should I expect?

    I have a three year old mallard hen that proved multiple times she can sit and brood for a while, multiple times. This was before I purchased my new blue fawn call drake, I was considering letting my hen go broody on live eggs, thus breeding the two. Not completely sure I want to do this yet...
