ducks

I have three call ducklings, two are nearly two weeks old and one is around one and half weeks old. I turned off their heat lamp for a few minutes earlier today, then forgot about it and went on my computer for nearly two hours. I just went downstairs and remembered about it and turned it on...

A friend of mine had a mother duck lay eggs in their backyard. Today her husband found the mother duck dead, but they are not sure how long it's been. We just finished hatching chicks, so we have put the eggs from the nest in our incubator. After candling a few I'm not really sure they are...

Of the various homestead ducks, I have two favorites: Mallards and khaki Campbells. Mallards have a nice flying ability and tend to stick around the area that they were raised in. They are super active and good at foraging. Khaki Campbells are super egg layers, which is what the mallard lacks...

Hi all. I’m looking for some advice regarding treatment of my ducks foot. After a trip to the vet and an x-ray, I was told that her bone has crumbled and she has arthritis. There is nothing more that they can do for her except give her an anti-inflammatory painkiller (which doesn’t really seem...

I had a broody Muscovy who's eggs didn't turn out, so I got her 4 ducklings. I was told these were Cayuga, which I've never had before, but it seems like they have a lot of yellow (plus one with a lighter beak). I don't really care what breed they are, I just wanted them to distract mama duck...

Hi, I am taking care of friends' young duck couple who had never gone broody before. It's about day 24-26 (I don't bother them and they did remove some non-viables in the first 2 weeks, so anything is only approximate). Their behavior is different this morning - normally he gets her up, they...

howdy, my duck greta has been attacked by an eagle. her throat was torn, but her esophagus and windpipe are intact, exposed but intact. I am trying to save the duck if at all possible. i was thinking of suturing her up, but im not sure if that is the best call. we have already given her a short...

I just learned there’s a buy/sell section of this forum! I’m based in Clackamas county Oregon. I’ve had 2 male pekin a for 3 years now, and I can no longer take care of them. I posted a Craigslist ad but I figured I should expand my sources a bit. I’m moving soon and I won’t be able to bring...

My name is Jade I'm 37 years old I'm new to laying duck eggs. I've done my first batch I had a success rate of 50% on Rouens. I do have some crested eggs I'm pretty sure it's only the mom that's crescent. So my question is if it's only one crescent parent can the gene double that way? Or do I...

Hi All! My old desktop died and I couldn’t figure the phone thing out forever. I’m still raising chickens and now ducks too! I will say this: in my limited experience, chickens are easier to keep alive than ducklings are! Hope I can remember how to get back and comment more!

I have four khaki cambells that I love so much. I have had them since they hatched march 9th, 2021. I would never consider rehoming them, however, my direct next door neighbor has complained to the city and now I have no choice. He only complained as part of the consistent harassment he plagues...

Hi guys!! Im whiskey, Chick momma with adult money! Im VERY excited to start my flock again, this time with my own little ones to experience this! Lets get into what this post is about! Sexing and Breed questions! So i know its gonna a be a while before we really know what these guys are. I...

Hello friends! One of my Magpie ducks has had their feathers ruffled for at least a week now, probably closer to two weeks. Outside of that, he/she seems fine. I’m not sure on poop because we have 10 ducks so it’s hard to tell who did what. But all the poop I’ve seen in general seems normal. I...

I have 4 Pekin ducks. They are 7 weeks and 4 days old and live in a very spacious run with some chickens of the same age. (They get along well and there's enough space so the ducks don't trample the chicks.) I only recently stopped putting the chicks and ducks back in their separate brooders at...

all of my ducklings hatched and i have now switched them to the brooder any tips?

Hello friends, i usually breed my rouens and my khaki campbells. this year i was lucky enough to acquire anconas. my two drakes a chocolate. and my females are all black. ive been researching what the possible outcomes could be. as my ideal situation is to sell them at our 4h swaps to...
