ducks

Hi, I recently purchased these 5 ducks including 4 young ducks and a 2 year old female duck. I've done some research on what breed and the previous owner said they were Welsh Harlequins. I think that's the case although I feel that the older duck may be a Silver Appleyard and the others being...

Hi everyone! I’m new here and I need to know what I should do for my ducks. I’m going to have two duck flocks soon, and I don’t know if I should have one or two coops. I will have ten ducks by the end of the year: one male for every 4 females. They’ll all be raised together as ducklings so I’m...

I have two, sweet Perkins that are 6 weeks old. For roughly four days the two (out of six) have been breathing heavily through there nares. They are still active and eating but their breathing is loud… like a stuffy nose. Their nares look clear and I’ve tried warm baths but nothing seems to be...

Hi all, I have a call duck with what looks like a broken toe and a puncture wound. I have her inside in a clean bed and am spraying the wound with vetrimycin and using triple antibiotic ointment. I want to give her an antibiotic orally as well. Was going to try amoxicilin in her water but it...

Hello, I’ve seen flock stop bys on the old/original forum, and that's how my mother got me my former Seramas. While my mother gets the fun of working with with the birds I work on the website and try to keep record of everyone away from home. I didn't see the original forum question and answer...

Hi, so confused about these ducks: found abandoned by a road and need advice please. Are they Pekins or Aylesburys? Young or old? And more importantly are they males or females or a mix of both? Their feathers are in bad condition so I don't know if I don't see the curly tails because of their...

So just curious...how do you guys tell the difference of male and female ducks? Let me know below! 🦆🦆🦆

Help! Are my duck eggs fertilized??! I have one drake and the rest are hens I cracked these open because I read in Google you can tell. I still can’t tell. Anyone have advice??

My mother started incubating her duck eggs seven days ago. They're being hand turned 3-4 times a day, and she got them straight from a breeder, no shipping or rough handling besides brushing off the clumped mud and crap. Tonight while candling them she noticed multiple egg yolks were moving from...

My ducks turn 1 year in may these are the first ducks I’ve had and sadly when buying them 7 out of the 8 were drakes so I had to cull 6 of them. My original plan was to wait for spring to buy more chickens and let the ducks go broody(the coop isn’t finished I need to fill some holes and get some...

Fur and Feather Fancier here. I just joined. I have two ducklings as of yesterday. No chickens yet. I raise rabbits. Happy to be here.

Hi everyone! My almost 3 year old runner duck Hannibal was making a weird sneezing sound today when I let the flock out. They were foraging together and I kept noticing she was making this weird sneezing sound. I picked her up and gave her a check over. She had nothing in her nostrils, nothing...

Ducklings are 3 weeks old and decided to supervise them with a little pan of water, they love it! 🦆🦆💧💧

I just had this random question, because most of our ducks are scared of us. Is there any way to really get close to them?

Would anyone happen to know what breed these ducks are? Got them from tractor supply as assorted.

First time having birds in the backyard. We just got 4 ducklings - a Welsh Harlequin Duck, Khaki Campbell Duck, Blue Runner Duck and a White Layer Duck. We also have two herding dogs.

This isn’t really a problem - I’m more confused than anything, and would love some insight. My drake, Cherry, loves his pond, and I don’t blame him. It’s around 5 / 6 acres worth of water, with tons of mud, pondweed, fish, bugs - a duck’s dream. He also loves his girls. I got Cherry 2 hens of...

We have 9 indian runner ducks about 5 males and 4 females, we need to find a home for them, hopefully in pairs. about 2-3 years old, good layers, and last year we hatched out about 60% from their eggs. They are used to having a pond with live water stream that flows in and out year round...
