    White Eyed Question

    I purchased a pair of white eyed peachicks two years ago and they are going very well except for the coloring. The female looks right but the male lacks the white eyes. The odd part is that he had them when he had the young, brown train feathers, but as soon as he started to get the adult...

    Our newest addition!

    My new naptime buddy. He is two months old. I haven't thought of a name yet, but I call him Flower for now or Nibbler. We have a good friend that raises them and he was too cute to pass up, well all three were cute, but we decided on this little guy.

    Is there a way to tell the difference b/w Mandarin and Wood ducklings

    In my wild duck aviary I have Woods and Mandarins. I think that one of the woods was laying eggs in with my mandarin. Is there a way to tell a difference between the two before the feather out?

    Elliot brooding trouble

    Last Thursday, I believe, I hatched out five Elliot’s eggs. Now between Thursday and yesterday all but two have died, with one about to follow its kin. It seems like they become thriftless and a few hours later they just die. I know they are eating because I have had to replace food, with...

    Mute swan male turns aggressive towards female

    For some reason today my male mute keeps chasing off the female. When I cam home from work I noticed her sitting in the woods. I wasn't sure what what she was doing so when my husband came home he went to see if she had a nest (They are only 2) and she didn't. So he picked her up and carried...

    How many eggs in a mandarin clutch?

    My mandarin hen has been laying and laying and laying. As of today there were eleven eggs in the nest box and was not sure if there should be that many or if perhaps that another hen is laying in there also. I am worried that she will not be able to set all those eggs. She has started to pull...

    Wild Ducks Home at Last, Pic Heavy

    After a long winter the wild duck pen that I made last year fell into a state of disrepair. Fist off I lost several ducks to a mink last fall so I moved all the birds into the brooder coop for the winter. All the Freezing and subsequent thawing shifted the rocks around the perimeter and...

    Finally got the calls separated, Pic Heavy

    Well it has been a long winter as you all know, and during that time my calls were in the large brooder coop. I would have liked to have gotten them separated about a month ago when they started laying but there was too much snow and it was too cold to put them in their breeding pens. Well...
