    New here, hello! First time incubating, duck eggs in a Little Giant -- tips (humidity, temp?) :)

    Hello folks!! :) I raised chickens and (LOTS of) ducks growing up, and totally fell in love with keeping ducks. I had my own mini flock of khaki campbells about 10 years ago, but have had to step away from it since. I finally live somewhere where I can have backyard poultry again, and I'm SO...

    How to catch a duck in a pond?

    Hi! I recently just adopted this adult female khaki Campbell duck 2 days ago and she hasn’t left the pond since. This is unsafe because I live in an area with a lot of predators.

I’m going to start treatment and get him wrapped up soon, but I’m wondering why he’s the only one who has it? The wings of his other 9 siblings all look lovely and...
