This my first time hatching ducklings (hopefully). I only had 3 eggs incubating, and 2 made it to 5 days before set hatch date.
I candled them for the last time today and noticed a few things.
I think my humidity was too high given the size and shape of the air sac, I need an extra thermostat...
Hello.
I am thinking to adopt small drakes - Calls and/or Black East Indies - in order to make them produce offsprings with duck hens from bigger breeds... meaning here :
• Indian Runner hens,
• Khaki Campbell hens,
• Cayuga hens,
• (French) Duclair hens.
...And MAYBE also hens from other...
Our cayuga (Dorothy) and Indian runner (Topanga) both passed away suddenly. Dorothy died three days ago and we had a necropsy done. The pathologist said there was nothing obviously wrong with her and by all accounts she was a healthy duck. Her ovaries were slightly red, that was the only...
Hi! My husband and I love animals and it saddens me to even have to do this, but we are looking into the possibility of re-homing our two ducks. I think they will be much happier in a home or on a farm with more ducks. I have one female Cayuga (named Pepper) and one male Khaki Campbell (named...
Hi there! I’ve recently noticed that some of my Cayuga ducks don’t look very healthy....I suspect it might be overpreenin, but I just wanted to post here and make sure. So first of all, my drake and one of my ducks seem to be missing a lot of tail feathers, like they pulled them out. My mix, one...
Good morning! I'm new to this website I've been reading multiple threads about my ducklings but i truly don't know what else to do. I had 9 Cayuga ducklings when i left for work yesterday they all looked healthy and happy and had plenty of food and water. I came home from work at noon and 1 of...
nothing serious lol I just wanted to share these beautiful pictures of Sumatra my 2.5 month old Cayuga duckling. There’s many more on my instagram @ house.of.ducks lol.
Okay so it’s not actually any kind of dragon egg, but it still looks like one, scales and all!
This is an egg that one of my Cayuga girlies laid earlier today.
Hello I'm currently incubating some Cayuga eggs and I've come to candle them , it appears only two are fertile but one has two dark spots which are wiggling so alive but does this mean two embryos ? It's day ten of incubation as well . Hopefully someone can advise .
Hi everyone,
I've been reading this site for ages and figured it was time to introduce myself. I live in Portland (OR) with my husband, daughter, mouse, fish, and two chickens, and I am currently on day 26 of incubating 8 Cayuga ducklings. I currently have one barred rock and one retired rescue...
I have raised chickens for many years, and have incubated eggs. This year I am attempting to have a Cayuga duck hatch some eggs. So far, she has a great nest, with 8 eggs. The other day she layed her next egg out of the nest, and did the same thing the next day. She is not yet laying on her pile...
I have four cayuga ducklings that are a little over 5 weeks living outside in a refurbished chicken coop. They have a run outside with some cover and small water pools(rubber feeder pans). Inside, I have kept water and food available since they are still growing. I am looking for suggestions on...
Hello,
I'm about to move on to my very own farm. While thinking of all of the possibilities I began thinking of all of the different animals I had growing up and all the ones I always wanted. I knew first thing I wanted ducks! As a kid we would raise ducks and sooner or later they would love...
Just saw a picture of a Cayuga duck and I am smitten! Curious to see if anyone in the tri-state area sells them!!!
Help a girl out!
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky!
I live in the athens area (Georgia) and I am in search of Cayuga ducklings. I want 5 less than three week old females and am willing to pay 8$ each (though you can contact me to negotiate that). I can drive an hour to an hour an a half away but any further than that and you would half to meet me...
My male Cayuga duck is about 9 months old and keeps vibrating/wrapping his head around us/ and biting either our legs or arms. He also keeps doing the same to our hens and dog. I can’t tell if he’s trying to mate with us/ show us his love/ or is angry. Any idea why he does this? .
Thanks!!
