How did you succeed introducing ducklings to a broody duck?
Hi everyone! I have a female who couldn’t decide if she wanted to be broody or not. I let her set on a nest with no luck. We successfully incubated ducklings and after they were nice and dry and had been shown where to get food and water, I introduced them to the maybe-I’ll-hatch-babies...- ADuckingMess

URGENT HELP WITH DUCKLINGS AND MUM
One of my female ducks hatched 4 ducklings in the early hours of Monday morning (2 days ago). I separated mum and ducklings from the rest of the flock, and I have put them inside with a heat lamp so they don't get too cold overnight.

First-time Duck Momma and her Babies
My 9 month old Fawn & White Runner duck hen that only started laying eggs 2 months ago started setting on eggs a month ago, and she actually sat all the way through to hatch!

Weight data for buff Orpingtons & Pekin Ducks?

Does anyone else do this or similar? Would this data be of use to anyone? I'd be more than happy to share it if it...- Mirrium

So, during a visit to the feed store a couple weeks ago, my partner decided we would would be taking home a couple of ducklings (a magpie and a black sweedish, I think) that they had. How can I say no, we already have chickens 😂 Since there were only two, and I've wanted cayugas for awhile now... -
