ducklings

Hi, I’ve come to this site so many times for threads of advice so I thought I would join as I have a weird issue that I’m not sure is a good or bad thing. I’ve been having ducklings these last few days but I noticed before this that 2 hens joined nests before they hatched so I don’t know which...

Hi, We have 3 indian runner ducklings that are from hatching eggs purchased locally. I'm just curious what colours they may turn out to be?

Super worried about this duck, I’ve seen pictures of wry neck but this looks different. Maybe an early stage I just need help with what to do and how to treat it. I just noticed this today, and haven’t seen any other issues with this duck, or my other duck until now. Please help!

My 4 year old khaki Campbell hen went (this is her very first time broody) broody and her eggs hatched today some of the ducklings don't seem to energetic right now and its making me a bit worried, their all staying with their mom on the nest she's still sitting on some eggs which I don't think...

Hello! I have 4 three month old (approximately) geese and I'm looking for pond ideas. They currently have a large kiddie pool and an old bathtub so we are good for this summer but I would like to start figuring out something more permanent for next year. Looking to see what you guys have that...

I have read that angel wing is a purely cosmetic issue for ducks, and that other than rendering them unable to fly it causes no health risk. Other sources imply that the worse the case is the more likely it is to be painful for the duck. Is there any evidence to support either of those claims?

Hello, so i got a female that recently hatched 5 ducklings. By now they are around almost 2 weeks old. Recently the weather where i live got rainy with some sunshine. Today in the morning (rainy day) i noticed one of the ducklings separated from the mom and group. It seems to be the runt since...

How common is it for Muscovies and Mallard-derived breeds to cross? Is it less likely to happen if there is a muscovy drake around? I did not separate my muscovy duck from the khaki Campbell drake, I don't think the drake would have bred her because for whatever reason the Muscovies sort of...

Is it possible for Cayuga ducklings to have white on them? I know that as the adults get older they slowly turn white, but is it possible for ducklings to have some white fluff on them too?

Hello, I have 1 Muscovy that's 14 weeks old and 2 that are 12 weeks old. My female Muscovy that's 12 weeks old is trying to fly and can lift up a little and kind of glide about 12cm far and my one that's 14 weeks (male) flutters his wings a lot but not lifted up off floor. what age should I...

I finally separated my Muscovy pair from the khaki Campbells last week. I am up to 8 Muscovy eggs today. I know oftentimes they'll lay huge clutches of eggs and hatch them all out, but other times they'll stop laying at around 13 eggs. I would really like to hatch out more then that, so I can...

We recently took on some Khaki Campbell ducks, 3 adults (drake and two hens) and three juveniles. We had a couple broody hens so i gave them a couple duck eggs, well low and behold we have at least one duckling this morning. Should i take the duckling and put it in a brooder? Also, i live in...

Hey! Wondering if anyone had any insight as to which colour phase my 5 week old Welshies are. Also any guesses on sex? The lighter one had the pinker bill as a baby (breeder said this isn't very accurate with her ducks) and is much louder than the other who has yet to make any noise other...

Hi everyone I I incubated my eggs at 96.5 by mistake because the temperature is stable and I trust my incubator I never checked it my mistake, humidity 49 to 55 no more no less I candle them on day 26 and they are all alive and moving a lot with the air sack big and the embryo covers almost all...

Hello, I am a teenage girl and I recently got my first pet duckling and Im definitely new at this & have a few questions on how to better care for my duckling so would love any sorts of tips/advice you guys have!! My first question is how many times a week should I bathe my duckling and with...

I recently brought home four Muscovy who are three weeks old. I was wondering what colors these babies could be? I know one is chocolate. I'm thinking the other three are barred with one of them being lavender and two of them being cream, but I'd like others opinions on this! I am asking about...

I will be rehoming Muscovy ducks once they are about 6 weeks old. They will probably be mostly drakes, but who knows. I have a decent variety of colors, but I do not know who all will be available. Just looking to see if anyone may be interested in the next few weeks once I am able to sex the...

Alright, I am just a couple weeks into fermenting my feed and getting everyone on a schedule. But I'd like to talk to someone who has experience with it, as I feel I'm doing something wrong. I'm guessing it's my ratio of what I mix in, but I'm not 100% sure. I have laying hens, a turkey...

Hello everyone! Long story short, I ended up with some duck eggs that were about to hatch. I have never hatched anything from an egg in my life. They pipped but within 48 hours there had been no progress, however there was peeping and movement within the eggs. I ended up creating holes from the...
