Unsure if this is the right part of the forum to post in but the title almost says it all. One thing to mention is that we had the dog for about a week and kept her inside with us mostly and then week 2 she went over a whole week spending the daytime while we're at work with the chickens. No...

I've had four ducks over the course of a year and a half now with what appears to be the same problem. This is four ducks out of about 15. The first duck died, the second duck appeared to be eggbound and i gave it calcium gluconate which had it lay an egg and she was all better. The third duck...

I keep two duck flocks and one of them is a pekin flock. when the ducks cause a commotion it seems to always be the same pekin duck. If i butcher her for thanksgiving will another duck step up and take up the "alarm" role?

Sick rooster at friends farm. Green and white watery droppings, standing in corner all curled up. Not eating or drinking. I separated it.

Saw one of my ducks not eating and acting weird this morning, appears unable to quack even though she is trying to. Walking slow and acting a bit dazed. Lumpy abdomen. Pic related pasty butt. Gave her calcium gluconate when i got home from church today and put her in a warm Epsom bath. Watching...

I keep a flock of pekins and a flock of runners atm and ive got 2 problems today. The pekin drake has his penis hanging out today and it doesnt look like hes putting it up. Could it be because hes too fat? The second issue is a bit bigger, i brought a trio of ducks from my parents house...

Super excited about finding some of these guys earlier this week. Are they show quality? How are they different than the more common ones?

The reason I am asking is that I live in a neighborhood and I can hear their rooster down the road, and I have ducks and i wonder if when they are loud everyone else can hear them. They are rarely loud but when they are they can get pretty dang loud. My coop allows light to come in also so i...

I hatched some eggs I got from a friend that got duck eggs from his neighbor. I also hatched some of my own pekin's eggs. So I know what the pekins are, what are these mallard print mystery ducklings? rouen?

I have some ideas about what might be going on with this guy but this duckling is a pekin that i hatched one week ago. I noticed that rather than walking on his feet he seems to be crawling in a way that his lower leg and foot are both touching the ground. He also has swollen hocks-pretty bad...

I went to pick up a printer that i bought on facebook marketplace today and the apartments had a big lake in the middle of the lot. Tons of ducks and canadian geese. I saw some of the mallards and thought to myself wooow those are so big they could be domestic. The lady that i bought the printer...

I wont bore you with questions but someone wants to buy one from me and i have some already grown pekins and some ducklings just hatched. How much does a pre slaughtered pekin duck go for? I tried just googling it and didnt find a good answer.

I'm making good money selling hatching eggs right now and I have eggs in the incubator to sell ducklings, but come winter this wont be a moneymaker. How can I make money in the winter? my first thought is selling meat birds but i suspect that it might be too much of a hassle and I'm not sure if...

I know you cant give chickens beer but if it were to be beer bread, where the alcohol is cooked out, can they have that?

I just replaced the wafer on this incubator and I have a whole lot of eggs to incubate but I cant seem to get the thing to warm up past 90 degrees. At this point im wondering if theres nothing wrong with either wafer and i'm just doing something wrong. Any advice appreciated

Ive got 16 welsh harlequinx Runner duck cross eggs, 7 pekin eggs from my flock, and 7 runner eggs from my flock. Really excited about it. I might keep some of the Pekins to raise for the table, definitely will keep some of the crosses and may keep some of the runners. Otherwise going to sell...

So my wafer incubator has been running hot basically since the beginning of the batch of these eggs. I ordered a new wafer so when the hatch is done i'll replace it. I put 12 eggs in and 6 have definitely died and theres one that im unsure about so im leaving it in there. I think the ones that...

Ive been incubating for 13 days now. There are 12 eggs and the entire time the incubator has been running hot, the incubator is still air and the dial that controls temp is not working, so the incubator has been running between 103 and 107. Ive just tried to turn the eggs more frequently and...

I have one duck that started laying in november and another that layed their first egg about a month ago and a third duck that ought to lay any moment now. I havent gotten an egg in 2 weeks or more and I have people who want to buy hatching eggs from me. Why would they not be laying? i tried for...

Ive got a hovabator 1602n still air incubator. For my first hatch i got 2 ducklings out of 9 eggs. I struggled to keep the temperature stable, fluctuating between 98 and 103. I was under the impression that the dial to change the temperature was very sensitive. After I finished the first half i...
