    Duckling with no “voice”

    I bought several ducklings from a breeder 1 1/2 weeks ago including Cayuga, Pekin & mixed breed. The smallest 2 ducklings (not sure of actual ages & if these may be youngest) had very little sound when trying to chirp and have since lost all sound or “voice”. One seems to be eating fine & is...

    Khaki Campbell raise their young?

    Yesterday I had a 3rd duckling hatch! There are still 15-20 eggs still in the nest. My concern is that they have all been laid at different times over a 4 week span, so I am only expecting 1-2 to hatch every few days. I guess as long as my momma keeps sitting, they will be fine, but the last...

    Khaki Campbell raise their young?

    I have 2 ducklings that hatched yesterday & seem to be doing fine. I can see 1 more egg has pipped and should be hatched tomorrow. I am wondering if there can be too many eggs in the nest & it make it difficult for some that may be on the bottom to hatch or will the momma shift the eggs around...

    Advice urgently needed please.....

    Hard to see them, but had at least 2 ducklings in the nest today. I did find 1 broken shell outside of the house yesterday, so not sure of it came from one of them. Otherwise, don't know where the other broken shell is. Both look to be healthy!

    Duck Missing please help

    I have learned my lesson too many times with predators. I have lost full grown ducks during the day to hawks and at night to a bobcate while free roaming around our pond and many more inside their fenced area at night to an owl. The owl left only pieces of flesh and feathers I now have...

    Bully Male Pekin Duck

    Should the dominant drake be completely separated out of sight or is it ok to still have him in an enclosure inside their larger fenced area so he is separated from others by a fence?

    Bully Male Pekin Duck

    I have thought about separating the dominant drake, but I did not know if this would be cruel to him since I have read that ducks can become depressed if by themselves since they are such social animals. If I do separate him, should it be completely away from the others or can it be in another...
