    6 mixed ducklings in New Orleans

    We had an amazingly successful duckling hatch last week- so much so that we have more ducks than we need or want! The ducks are straight run (we’re not confident enough to try to sex them ourselves) and are a mix of mostly rouen and various runners. They hatched between 12/1-12/3 so they’re a...

    Duck help Breed and Male/female

    Please help, we were recently given 11 ducks of various breeds, and are trying to figure out what breeds and ducks/drakes we have. Can Black Swedish have black spots on their chest? Does green head automatically mean male? Are the two light ones Silver Appleyard?

    Hi, my Rouen female is under weight and it’s getting closer to winter. I’m not sure how to get her to gain more weight. This morning I went out to feed them and she was shivering and it’s only about 38 degrees out. I’ve tryed everything I can think of. Any ideas? Thank you

    Bumble foot.

    Hi my Rouen female has bumble foot. I worked on her foot last night, when I was done I put copaiba and coconut oil on the wound and wrapped it. This is what it looks like this morning. Does it look like I got all the infection? Do I need to work on her some more? Thank you

    2 Rouen Drakes needing a new home in Southern IL/ Southern IN

    Unfortunately we have too many Rouen drakes.. they are both friendly(will eat out of your hand) and coop trained to come home at night for safety. We need both gone but if someone can only take one that’s okay too. Located in Southern IL/ Southern IN.. willing to travel a little if needed.

    Prices??

    How much do a male and female together, khaki Campbell ducks go for? They are fully grown. Also how much would a Rouen duck age around 3-4 months old male go for?
