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...

Black and yellows are Black Swedish, yes. I’d say the solid blacks are Cayugas given their low-to-the-ground stance. If they start to walk with a tall-stance, they’re Black Runners. The best way to sex them then is to voice-sex. Females get a significant voice change at around 3 - 4 weeks...

I had a lot of fun creating the last 2 “Videos of My Ducks” during my Hatch-Along, so I decided to make another! I hope y’all enjoy :)

So sorry you’ve had no response. This looks better than you think. Might still be good to put baby inside of tallish, paper towel-lined cup so they can finish absorbing safely. You could also put some antibiotic ointment (without pain relief) on the navel.

Looks like a pretty girl to me! You can also tell by voice; girls are very, very loud, whereas boys are much quieter and raspy. And yes, she’s a Rouen. Will you be getting her a friend or two? They’re so, so much happier and calmer when they have duck friends.

5 dux eggs eaten this morning; 2 for me, 2 given back to the ducks, and just the 1 for my dogs.
