Hello, please I'd be hugely grateful for some advice. I have one Aylesbury duck egg which is very precious to me. We had 3 adult ducks, but 1 female and 1 male got killed by a fox. We were devastated and my children have been really upset.
One female got away, injured but she's recovered. She...
hi everyone!!
Aylesbury duckling will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. Noticed this patch of fluffless skin earlier?
Someone mentioned could be losing her baby down ready for feathers, someone else said it could be mites?
Any suggestions
Hi I'm Heather
New mum to a human baby (8 months) and 2 aylesbury ducklings they hatched 5th april.
I brought home 3, but We have sadly lost one a few days ago, one is really small and one is huge..
We are now worried about the small duckling as she doesn't appear to be gaining weight.
They...
Hi
This is my first time raising a duckling.
We got an Aylesbury duck about 7 weeks ago. Little Puck was around a week old when we got him. We specifically wanted a drake as we already have two females and wanted to breed our ducks. The breeder told us she had vented them and was definitely...
Hi there!
I've been looking around for possible answers on this site and it's been really helpful, but I thought the best way to get answers is to post directly so I don't misinterpret anything 😌
I have one duck and one drake, both three years old and hatched in an incubator 🥚
The duck has...
Hi everyone, first time poster here (or any forum for that matter) but I've been a long time lurker! I'm absolutely devastated today and wanted to maybe get some feedback from you knowledgeable people. Even if it's to tell me I was wrong in what I did, hopefully I'll get some closure to allow me...
Much like Frank Reese I think purchasing chicks from Allen Smith is a non-starter, except maybe if they do another poultry workshop. I’m in search of a source for non-exhibition Aylesbury duck. Haven’t heard of anyone other than one of these two that have them. Maybe there will be a listing...
Hi All,
We recently noticed our Aylesbury duck was sitting on eggs and had built herself a little nest. After a while we decided to get some fertile eggs for her to sit on, so we got 4 yesterday (ive been told they are Indian runner and Indian runner/mallard cross, two of each) and went to put...
I’m looking to branch out from laying ducks to meat ducks and I have my heart set on Aylesbury. Does anyone know where in this world, hopefully in the U.S., that I can find a few? I’ve searched all over online, I’ve asked around at feed stores and auctions, but I always just end up with people...
Hello! First time posting so hope I'm doing things right.
We have had 3 Aylesbury ducks since their feathers started coming through. When they reached near full size, one of the biggest, named Eliza, began limping. We contacted the breeder and she thought that she had just pulled a muscle. We...
so back in christmas last year my brother and i each got a day old aylesbury duckling, jemima and puddles. they were the sweetest little things and my brothers drake puddles grew up to be the biggest sook. he would follow you around the yard wanting pats.
then the other night a fox came and...
Hello, new to hatching. Set of 6 Aylesbury ducks now on day 27 of incubation. Two moving about but can’t hear any cheeping and no pips as yet. Slightly concerned about this egg, large piece of shell had come off (pointy end- pic attached) morning of day 25, left him alone but membrane now...
hey all, poor little jemima never seems to catch a break! she started with pigeon toes which has since cleared up with a diet of increased niacin. but as of the last couple days ive begun noticing that she walks with almost a sideward curve in her back..... she can still run and doesnt...
HI! My name is Luke, i am a 20 year-old part time photographer, full time student pilot and now full time papa duck!
i first got my chickens as a year 8 science project back in 2012. for the project we had to chose something which grows, then measure and record its growth over like 2 or 3...
I'm looking into buying some Pomeranian geese and maybe some rouen ducks and aylesbury ducks. I have a lot of experience raising waterfowl, especially ducks. I want to know if this is a good idea or not. I want to buy them as goslings and ducklings and raise them out to breed and sell hatching...
Today I found that my female duck played her very first egg today. I have two ducks- a Female Pekin and a Male Aylesbury. Does anyone have any topics for science fair with variables I could do. I was thinking maybe doing breeding with Pekin and aylesbury. Or testing how different foods affect...
