    Duckling mysteriously died

    Hey there, so we bought our first ducklings from TSC last night. 8 Rouens. When the employee was boxing them up for us, I noticed one of the ducklings had a big drooly throw up (I have seen chickens have a similar thing happen, like water getting vomited from the crop) and I didn't think much of...

    Rouen Hen turning into a Drake?

    I have six ducks, 5 are Rouen and 1 is a Cayuga. I have one drake (a Rouen), the rest are hens. They are all between 6 and 8 years old. One of the Rouen hens has started to look increasingly like a drake. Her head is turning green. She now has a distinct white collar/stripe around her neck...

    Mixed Ducks?

    So I think I've read that any duck that came from the mallard can produce fertile eggs, even when crossed, right? So a Rouen mixed with a Swedish can produce fertile babies? Or a Rouen X Magpie or a Rouen X cayuga? Because I really want a male rouen, they are beautiful, and if he'd have babies...

    Egg color?

    We have some Rouens that are laying really well right now. According to Metzer, Rouens lay about 35% blue/green eggs, and we are getting about that from our five hens. But my husband and I want to know: Do some ducks lay all blue eggs or do all ducks lay some blue eggs? :) For example, if you...

    ISO Rouen Ducks (Pennsylvania)

    Hey guys! So I wanted to start doing a breeding project for Rouens, show birds and meat birds, but I need some breeding stock to get started! I have 1 Rouen duck at the moment, need a drake and possibly a couple more females. (No rush though, as I'm still setting up new coops and such). I'm...

    Oh no! Not the breed I was told they were!

    So I brought home our very first ducks today. (We have over 20 chickens and some rabbits too)! Well... Five little yellow Peking ducklings... Cool beans. Thought the other two were Khaki Campbell, however when I started looking up their images, they look nothing alike! Mine resemble Mallard or...

    Proud Duck Mama!

    I’m so happy! My ducks know how to use their ramp and can go in out of their coop on their own now! :) and they do it all the time. They are still put away at night and when it’s really cold. Yesterday was the first time they actually got to walk around the yard! It’s been so cold! And the...

    Would this work?!

    So I have an old dog house that looks like this... Would it work for 3/4 ducks at night?? (Only at night) And let them out in the morning... I need something ASAP to get my babies out of the wind and cold! Any other suggestions would work too! TIA!

    Choking duck???

    My duck has been eating cracked corn lately and when he’s done he acts/looks like he’s choking?? Or he can’t get it down?? He doesn’t act like this any other time. Could he be sick? Help! :)

    Getting more ducks?

    i have 3 drakes and am planning on getting more ducklings in the spring. (A few females and more drakes) Will the older ones accept the new ones or hurt them? Not like them? I read somewhere they might not take a liking to them. Thanks

    Pomeranian Geese, Rouen Ducks, and Aylesbury Ducks.

    I'm looking into buying some Pomeranian geese and maybe some rouen ducks and aylesbury ducks. I have a lot of experience raising waterfowl, especially ducks. I want to know if this is a good idea or not. I want to buy them as goslings and ducklings and raise them out to breed and sell hatching...

    Chickens friendlier after starting to lay??

    So 4 out of 9 of our hens are laying (I think number 4 started this morning because I woke up to the lovely egg song) 2 RIRs and 2 WRs, and I feel like everyone's friendlier since they started?? Like today when I went out to care for them, one of my rocks got on top of the dog house beside me...

    Jumbo Rouen egg

    I really don't know if it's considered a jumbo egg, but it is for her! The egg on the left is her normal egg (about chicken egg size) and the right is the 'jumbo' she deserves an award haha

    Free Range Broody Rouen

    I'm looking for suggestions and tips. I have a mixed flock. 3 Rouen hens, 1 drake, 2 Muscovy hens and a herd of drakes. I have one Rouen hen who is especially broody. She's currently sitting on her second clutch this season but has yet to produce a single duckling. She's a good mama. Sits all...

    Question about duck behavior

    I've never had ducks before and I was wondering what it means when my drake lifts his wings/head, quacks, and darts his head forward whenever he sees me sometimes? Is it courtship behavior? Can't really find anything on the subject and I'm just curious. (He's a Rouen if that matters.)

    Hatching Ducklings

    So I currently have a Rouen Hen who has been laying an egg a day in her nest and forming the nest each day and it looks like she might be sitting at night. She just laid 12 eggs but I haven't noticed her sitting on them. How do I know if she's going to hatch them herself or if I need to...
