2 dux eggs!! on my sandwich today! I’ll probably throw out 2 more again to the ducks when they return tonight.

Your two yellow-bills could be drakes. Yes, they’ll go through bill / feet color changes now, but it’s not always an indicator of gender. I’d trust voice-sexing for now. In fact, you should be able to voice-sex them right now. Anyone doing the random, loud quack like you say is a girl, and...

Yesterday, I placed an order for 2 goslings from Metzer Farms! I decided on getting 2 females; 1 Buff, 1 African. I might even look for an adult gander in the future, assuming these 2 are good. They’re set to ship out June 17th. This is my first time ordering from Metzer, so I’m quite nervous...

Hey, aren’t we approaching hatch date soon?? Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since you set the eldest eggs 😮 Let’s hope those air-cells start showing some movement!

I keep the hose barely running, so the sprinkler stays low and is more enjoyable to the ducks. I tried turning the hose to the max, and water shot all over the place!! :rolleyes:

Yeah, doesn’t quite look like angel wing. Angel wing isn’t known to affect adults, either. Could be an injury, like Miss Lydia suggested.

If I had to guess, I’d say that’s the female’s greeting quack / ‘I’m over here!’ quack. But, if you can get a video and link it here, that’d be best.

A 2nd egg thrown into my pasta for dinner :p

If you got her a male duck friend, you’d have to separate your ducks from your chickens; male ducks cannot be housed with chickens safely. Well, she’s at least 2 months old.. If she isn’t laying right now, she could be too young. They tend to start laying at 6 - 8 months old, stopping for...

Was about to say the same thing, rat snake. Non-venomous but could certainly go after ducklings. I’d relocate about a mile away.

Welp, it’s official. I just placed an order from Metzer Farms for 2 goslings. Both female; 1 Buff, 1 African. How exciting! :wee

Had 1 dux egg on my sandwich, and 2 more given back to the ducks. No more for the dogs for now; one’s getting chunky, and another has an upset stomach. Speaking of mushrooms, I found a gorgeous false parasol today, about a 6 inch wide cap!! Unfortunately, it’s poisonous.. looks tasty, though.

Not quite yet. I’ve received many messages offering to take them, but they’ve all been.. questionable. They’ll stay here until then.

You could keep her inside and isolated, but you will have to reintroduce her properly. Being raised together won’t matter if she’s separated for a long period of time. She’ll have to go through the pecking order again and, yes, could be attacked. You could also keep a friend inside with her...
