Today marks 10 years since @Miss Lydia joined BYC! Let’s celebrate by telling Miss Lydia stories! :D
Miss Lydia you have provided me with advice, virtual hugs, good laughs and prayers too many times to count. Thank you for helping me get Gabby through her seizures, Abby through countless leg...
Lately I've noticed my runner Gabby has a vent discharge after she poops that looks like raw egg whites. Today I touched it (yuck) and smelled it (more yuck) and noticed it smells a little fishy (even more yuck). I don't go around smelling vents/discharge so I don't know if that's normal...
Ok so this may not be the worst place I've ever had poop, but definitely the most embarrassing... Look what I realized was on my shoe while sitting in the dentist chair today.... Now I want to see your worst poop place pics too!
Yes - if you have ducks in the Amazon, watch out for this one!

A year ago today, my first duck ever, Gabby, hatched at Hoover's hatchery, joined shortly by her boyfriend Jabby. They made their way to TSC and were the last 2 ducklings in the bin when I found them. After they saw me, they started peep-peep-peeping, and didn't stop until I pulled my cart...
Hi. I've been reading about hemp bedding and that it's supposed to last twice as long as pine shavings, hay or straw because it's so absorbent. All of the reviews are from chicken owners however - so wondering if any duck owners are using it and if you think it's worth a try?
:frow I wanted to share something with ya'll. I don't free range my ducks (too many predators). I knew there would come a day when it would be so nasty outside that I wouldn't be able to walk them as often as usual. Well today is the day! I got this chicken toy that you fill with treats - I...
I finally got a pic to share of both my Pekins. Is it normal for color to vary so much? One is white (female) and one is yellow (male). They are not from the same parents, however they eat the exact same thing, have the same routine, get the same amount of sunlight, and they are close to same...
My Pekin sometimes lays enormous eggs and, when she does, they are usually double yolks. I can’t find anything on the web to help me understand why this happens, if it’s abnormal, if there’s an underlying health issue and should I be concerned...? Pic comparing my Runner, Ancona and Pekin eggs...
Hi. Does anyone have both a Pekin and a White Layer of the same sex - and if so, could you please post a side by side pic so I can see a comparison? Thank you!!!
Pic of a great duck Dad (and DH) who will probably be up til midnight working on the nighttime duck pen. i realized this morning that it wasn’t Least Weasel proof - and he knew I wouldn’t sleep until this was fixed. :love
And pic of very unhappy ducks who just want to go in for the night...
Hi Pekin owners! I would really like to see some side by side pics of male/female Pekins please to compare with my Pekins. I appreciate anyone who can help me! :frow
Just had to share this. Pekin drakes get a lot of slack - sure they can be aggressive and rapists lol - but look at this darling standing guard over his girls today while they forage. You can only see one of the girls - the others are in the bushes. He’s done this all week. Wherever the girls...
I know Drakes aren't supposed to eat oyster shell but what happens if they do and how much is enough to hurt them? My drake ate oyster shell this morning - he's never done it before and I don't know why he decided to do it today...
