This duckling is about two weeks old, not sure what is going on here but none of his siblings are doing this. Any idea what it could be? He doesn't seem to mind being close to the heat plate.

I'm sure there are dozens of these threads here in the forum but I wanted to have someone take a look at my pics. This guy zipped 4-5 hours ago but doesn't seem to be moving at all. When do I give up on it? Anything I can do and when?

Two of my ducks were recently killed by a dog. I have one drake and one hen left, and I want to start over and build a new flock. I have three fertile eggs from my ducks, and I've ordered 8 more from an eBay seller which should be here Friday or Saturday. My remaining hen went broody last...

Two of my Ancona girls are laying reliably, but they're losing pigmentation in their brown feathers. Could this be due to some nutritional deficiency? I'm feeding them layer feed, but they eat a lot of peas and corn too--maybe too many treats?

I have two Ancona girls I hatched in June, and they started laying a couple of weeks back. So far they've been giving me an egg every day, but how long can I expect this to go on?

One of my two female Ancona ducks only makes quacking sounds when she is very upset. The rest of the time she makes this percussive cross between a quack and a cluck. Is this normal?

My ducks are about 8 wees old now, and they usually follow me around when I let them range in my yard. Now I have to heard them or bribe them with a high value food item (peas) to get them into shelter at night. Should I have handled them more as ducklings? A duck farmer on a Youtube video I...

They're at 8 weeks now and mostly feathered out. Not easy to weigh them, anyone have a suggestion? 3 of them are male, so two will have to go. I still haven't decided if I should give them to a local duck farmer or harvest them. (Rehoming seems like I'm just giving my problem to someone else...

My ducks are about five weeks old, I'm working on getting them moved outside but I haven't been able to get an enclosure built. So I've been keeping them penned in areas of my back yard with tree cover and garden fencing during the day and bringing them in at night. Well today we're getting...

I seed my tomatoes before roasting them, are they safe to give to the ducks? The "treats" sticky says flesh only, but I was under the impression that being eaten by birds is a propagation method the plants depend on naturally. My ducklings also go crazy for spaghetti squash, which is pretty...

I have five Ancona ducklings I've hatched from eggs I got off eBay. They are driving me nuts with the constant cheeping, but I have them in my home office.
