The behavior of our 2y old Blue Swedish female duck has changed over the last week or two. She’s not eating, laying, or foraging. She’s very lethargic, with most of her time spent standing still with her head tucked on her back and her eyes closed. Yesterday I noticed thick, clear tear-like...
This hen(I assume Swedish duck…?) is one I got may 8th with 2 others who turned out to be maes. Lately they’ve reached sexual maturity since I’ve seen both of them mounting her multiple times. But I’ve done glances around the yard and coop and I haven’t seen any eggs larger than usual or...

I have 3, 7 week old ducks. Rouen, kahki Campbell and Blue swedish. I am pretty sure the Rouen is a male but not dure about the other 2. I have them mostly for eggs, and for my kids. Also any advise on down the road letting them hatch out a few eggs? If I have any females😅
Today I noticed that one of my 4 year old blue swedish ducks (Duck, is her name) doesn't want to eat and her crop is full looking and feels like there's a lot of liquid in it. She went to go eat and she kind of just touched the food with her bill, she's been drinking water and I haven't been...
My blue swedish drake got his adult feathers recently and he has some brown feathers on him. I’ve never seen one like this, could it just be from his parents if one of them was a mallard or rouen?

Has anyone else had a blue Swedish hen lay a brownish egg before? This morning I went out to Collect eggs and I found a brown egg that I think is from my blue Swedish. I’ve never gotten a brown egg before
Everything I've read has told me that my black babies are blue Swedish ducks (I was hoping for Cayugas) & that my tan babies are Welsh Harlequins. What do you think? 😫 I'm so anxious to know what breeds these babies are so I can build an enclosure that is suited to house them!
Ps, I do know...
We got some new ducklings today! I'm so excited, but I'm so curious to know what breed the "all black" ducklings are! They are mostly black (maybe even a dark brown? I haven't had them outside yet!) with black feet & a black bill. They have a TINY patch of yellow on their chests. I also borrowed...
A male Blue Swedish duck has taken up residence in our pond and needs to find a forever home.
Mason, as we call him, wandered into our yard from our new neighbors after their dogs relentlessly chased him. So, once he found our pond, he hasn't left... his bonus was that he also stumbled upon...
