    why hasn't my one year old duck layed an egg?

    hello guys, I'm quite new to here, but I've used to come here for various reasons quite a few times, but I have never found anyone talking about any type of duck not laying. Most of the time, the topics that cover this seem to be about ducks that are still too young to lay but never about a...

    We are trying to figure out what on earth these ducks are mixed with. We were told the one in the front is a mallard welsh harlequins, but they have already grown at least twice as large as our mallards. Possibly Rouen, but they're all starting to look so different. The second picture is the...

    Three month old duckling sexing?

    I've bought them early March before the pandemic outbreak, the breeder misplaced the breeds, and I think he misplaced the genders too. I'm supposed to have a couple, one female Khaki Campbell and a male mallard; instead I got a possible male Khaki Campbell and a possible male Rouen. They bought...

    Can a gosling with angel wing swim with his wing wrapped?

    Hello all, one of the goslings on our property has just started showing angel wing. If I wrap his wing to his body, is he still safe to wander and swim with the others? My husband is worried that he could drown.

    Hello! New duck farmer here

    A few months ago a bird rescue organization, ASAP, was presenting at Petco when I went for cat food. They had all sorts of birds there, including a duck that my 2 year old fell in love with. Obviously, it was not a good idea to adopt a duck on impulse, so we did not get it. However, we had been...

    Sick duck?

    2 days ago my rouen started acting weird, it stopped being loud and it would gag. Now, it's starting to have seizure like movements, like falling down and then act like nothing happened seconds after. I read that it is possible that a duck does that when they have something stuck in their throat...

    What breed and gender could this duck be?

    I got him/her (the one in question, which I hope is a male) and a female khaki Campbell a few weeks ago from a popular breeder in my area. They were at least 1 week old when I bought them, and my guess is that they are about four weeks at the moment. He/her quacks harshly when separated from the...
