    Do I let Bella nest outside her coop?

    Hi lovely people - I'm torn. My white campbell Bella produces an egg every day. She has made huge nests in her coop but never sat on them (20 eggs).

    Hi - I've had feral ducks for 10 years but now am trying with domestic. Due to fox and mink my tiny flock was down to one white campbell who has never laid an egg for me (she is 3 years old, a lockdown rescue, I'm told she laid in the past but infrequently). A week ago I acquired a Cayuga...

    My duck just died - no idea why - what should I do? Have 3 others

    Hello - I'm fairly new to ducks and would appreciate some help. One of my 4 ducks has suddenly died. What should I do? She is one of 3 white Campbells; I also have a Cayuga - they are rescue ducks and I don't know their age, had them a couple of months. For a few days she hasn't been playing...

    Hello! I'm new here, learning about ducks.

    Hello, thank you for letting me join. I'm here to find out about ducks! I inherited 30 small white ducks when I bought my current house. Over 11 years they gradually died out (partly because over time there were only drakes left). They were free-range, and some flew away while some succombed...
