I am very confused about my two 10 week old saxony ducks (I bought a dozen mixed duck eggs of a breeder near me and only got one kind of duck, I was meant to get Cayugas and Watervales as well). Out of the dozen eggs i bought only 3 hatched… then when I let...

    Not sure what’s wrong with my girl :(

    Usually she is very happy and hangs around the other ducks but for the past day or two she has been staying away kind of off in her own corner… they are about 6 months old and I just started finding eggs this week so I thought maybe she’s broody somehow already but I don’t think that’s the case...

    Jinxed myself, actual missing duck, at least 1 injured. Any help / advice appreciated.

    Hey, so I think a hawk just attacked my birds. 1 duck is missing and I have at least 1 other with a small bill injury + I think a puncture wound or ripped feathers on her lower back. I had to carry her home, she was in shock, but she’s pretty alert now. I’ll do some research myself, but if you...

    Missing-Duck Scare - Story Time

    I’ve had my fair share of “missing-duck scares,” that is, thinking a duck is missing, when really they’re just around the corner, doing their own thing. Usually it’s my elder drake, Cherry, who likes his alone time. Today, however, I went out on my back porch to count the ducks, and someone...

    Dark spots on this egg - what should I do?

    One of my duck eggs has these odd spots at the top (not air sac side). My cat knocked over the incubator a while ago and many of the eggs ended up needing to be thrown out. I only have two left and this one isn't looking too promising (the other is healthy and ready to hatch). If this one is...

    Drake having trouble with his legs

    Hello! A couple years ago we rescued two jumbo pekins off of the river, a duck and a drake. The drake had a leg injury when we caught him and his ankle was swollen but his hips were alright. Neither had good health, obviously, so we spent a while just giving them all the peas they could eat...

    Peking Duck Squaking while walking and biting towards his foot

    We have a Peking duck that has been running with the flock. Sometimes he will squak and bite at his feet. Almost like a dog chasing its tail or a dog that has an itch that he can't reach. Other than this occasional behavior, we haven't noticed any other odd behaviors. We brought him in the...
