My Jumbo Pekin, Mae, is 5.5 months old and just started laying eggs two weeks ago. The first three eggs were fairy eggs with no yolks! Then we got three days in a row of JUMBO duck eggs, then one MASSIVE DOUBLE YOLKER, then no eggs at all for the next three days. Yesterday, she was panting HARD...

Hi there! Happy Sunday! I'm attaching a photo of my 5-week old blue bibbed (?) runner ducklings, which I received from a nice family down in South Florida who hatched eggs from their own happy backyard ducks. Their big feathers are coming in WAY faster than my first batch of (Metzer) ducklings...

Hey y'all...hope everyone's staying warm! My ducklings are 10 weeks old tomorrow, fully feathered (I think), and have been living outside in their hoop coop for the past week now. However, temps have been warm (Northeast Florida) and have not dropped below 50 degrees at night. Tonight, though...

Hey y'all! I just adopted four mixed runner ducklings from a lovely family! I also adopted their last hatching egg, and it HATCHED in my cooler-bator the next day! So now we have five little lovelies! So precious. 🥰 I'm curious as to what they will look like when full grown! Their mama is a...

My four ducklings will be 7 weeks old on Monday. They are still indoors day and night while my husband finishes their duck coop. They are as big as cats now, except for my Magpie who is still pretty small and more like the size of a large kitten. Anyway, the last few days, they have been...

Hi everyone! Happy New Year! :) I have four 6-week old ducklings. They are not fully feathered yet, so they are still in my house (omg, so messy! so stinky!). I have been reading that they should be fully feathered anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks old and then they can GO OUTSIDE WHOOOHOOO...

Hello everyone! My Pekin duckling, Mae, is showing symptoms of a niacin deficiency! She injured one of her legs at one week, so I upped her niacin and her leg got better. But then, about a week ago, she started putting weight on fast and has caught up in size to her Buff Orpington and Blue...

Hello all! I searched the forum first, but couldn't find the info I'm looking for. I was giving Braggs nutritional yeast (35mg niacin per 2 Tblsp) to my ducklings since I got them at 2 days old. I would sprinkle about a tablespoon over every feed, about 3-4 times per day. Then my jumbo Pekin...

So my ducklings are just three weeks old--we obviously don't have eggs yet. But to prepare for them to start laying, I searched the forum for "duck egg meals" and "duck egg dishes" and didn't have any luck. I'd LOVELOVELOVE to see photos of your scrambled duck eggs with toast and (meat- or...

Hi all! Happy Saturday! My four ducklings will be two weeks old on Monday (the 4th). On Wednesday the 13th, I would like to travel by car 2.5 hours South to visit my mother for about five days, returning home late Sunday evening, the 17th. My husband works during the day, so I'd like to take...

Hi everyone! It's cold here in Northeast Florida today...brr! Hope everyone is staying cozy and warm today! So, I am brooding four ducklings in a dog crate turned brooder in the spare room of my house. A few times per day, I carry their soaking wet and pooped-all-over stuff through my house...

Good morning! I have four ducklings from Metzer. They were one week old yesterday. Since they arrived, I've been feeding them fermented feed (Nature's Best Organic Duck Crumbles) sprinkled liberally (probably a full teaspoon) with Bragg's Nutritional Yeast at every feed. I feed them about a...

Hi everyone, I'm new here. To make a long (and slightly embarrassing) story short, I have this egg. It's a duck egg. Its name is Bobby. I never planned on getting ducks (but now we've got four ducklings arriving in the mail today from Metzer Farms)! But anyway, back to the egg. I brought it home...
