I have 3 (3 month old swedish ducks), 2 black and one blue. I noticed today one of the blacks , (her name is Tuxie) undercarriage is sagging (as the older ladies are) but to the right instead of centered in the middle. I'm not sure if this is normal? My other other two Swedes are still firm in...
Hello! So I’m getting pretty nervous! I went to my local feed store and bought 2 female black swedish ducklings about 3 weeks ago, and today I accidentally put them in a bath that was alittle to warm, and they started quacking in their adults voices! But one was a quack and one was very raspy…...
Hi, I recently added more ducks to my flock. I will be hatching ducklings in the spring from my flock to sale and I was wondering if anyone has mixed these breed if so what did they look like. I love to see pictures either duckling and/or adults.

I just bought 4 more ducks that are about 4 months old
1. Cheddar is a fawn and white Indian runner
2. FireQuacker is a black Swedish
3. Pancake is a fawn and white Indian runner
4. Emerald kyahoga is a Cayuga
Now my saxony and black Swedish are presenting with what I suspect would be stage 1 angel wing but I’m not for certain. I started them on nature serve starter/grower feed until 4 weeks old and then switched to purina duck pellets 19% protein and add 1Tab of josh frogs brewers yeast per cup of...
Hellllloo.
I've currently been a duck mother for 3 weeks (I think)
Grabbed 5 babes from TSC, I'll post all of them just to show. The only ones I know for sure are the 2 Pekin. BUT THIS ONE duck.. the lone ranger, odd man out, brown one. What is it? Golden 300 drake? That's the best guess I...
Please help, we were recently given 11 ducks of various breeds, and are trying to figure out what breeds and ducks/drakes we have.
Can Black Swedish have black spots on their chest? Does green head automatically mean male? Are the two light ones Silver Appleyard?
So our black swedish hatched 2.5 days ago now, had a bit of a troubled hatching with the yolk sac, but we're mainly worried about it's eyes. It looks like they're goopy or stuck shut...? We feel so bad cause she can't see anything, and must be so scared.
We keep trying to gently wash them out...
I'm new to backyard chickens as I am in the midst of determining the breeds and genders of my two ducks. When I first got them, I was told (by a person who was unsure) that they were Muscovies... they're definitely not. At the moment both ducks are 10 weeks old. Cielo is the slightly larger duck...
I have two newly hatched (1 day old) ducklings. There is no nearby feed store and I only have all-purpose chicken food. Can I feed them that or can I make them something else until we can make a trip to the feed store?
Okay so i’ve got a bit of weird one.
So i had originally, in one pen, 1 mallard drake and 2 Pekin drakes. And in the other pen 3 Pekin females and 1 Black Swedish drake (all of these are young ducks i just didn’t want to put them in with all the males cause that’s a lot of testosterone, you...

Hey guys, unfortunately I’m thinking about rehoming my drake. The other option would be to cull him, and while I don’t have an objection to this I would rather him get a nice new home. He will be 1yr in June, I hatched him and raised him from a baby so he is imprinted on me. I know this will...
