So just curious...how do you guys tell the difference of male and female ducks? Let me know below! 🦆🦆🦆

Help! Are my duck eggs fertilized??! I have one drake and the rest are hens I cracked these open because I read in Google you can tell. I still can’t tell. Anyone have advice??

My mother started incubating her duck eggs seven days ago. They're being hand turned 3-4 times a day, and she got them straight from a breeder, no shipping or rough handling besides brushing off the clumped mud and crap. Tonight while candling them she noticed multiple egg yolks were moving from...

My ducks turn 1 year in may these are the first ducks I’ve had and sadly when buying them 7 out of the 8 were drakes so I had to cull 6 of them. My original plan was to wait for spring to buy more chickens and let the ducks go broody(the coop isn’t finished I need to fill some holes and get some...

Fur and Feather Fancier here. I just joined. I have two ducklings as of yesterday. No chickens yet. I raise rabbits. Happy to be here.

Hi everyone! My almost 3 year old runner duck Hannibal was making a weird sneezing sound today when I let the flock out. They were foraging together and I kept noticing she was making this weird sneezing sound. I picked her up and gave her a check over. She had nothing in her nostrils, nothing...

Ducklings are 3 weeks old and decided to supervise them with a little pan of water, they love it! 🦆🦆💧💧

I just had this random question, because most of our ducks are scared of us. Is there any way to really get close to them?

Would anyone happen to know what breed these ducks are? Got them from tractor supply as assorted.

First time having birds in the backyard. We just got 4 ducklings - a Welsh Harlequin Duck, Khaki Campbell Duck, Blue Runner Duck and a White Layer Duck. We also have two herding dogs.

This isn’t really a problem - I’m more confused than anything, and would love some insight. My drake, Cherry, loves his pond, and I don’t blame him. It’s around 5 / 6 acres worth of water, with tons of mud, pondweed, fish, bugs - a duck’s dream. He also loves his girls. I got Cherry 2 hens of...

We have 9 indian runner ducks about 5 males and 4 females, we need to find a home for them, hopefully in pairs. about 2-3 years old, good layers, and last year we hatched out about 60% from their eggs. They are used to having a pond with live water stream that flows in and out year round...

I'm wondering if any more experienced duck folk could tell me what these guys are doing? This is a google drive link to the video (It wouldn't upload it here, sorry) [video link] From my perspective it seems like they're anxious and frantically looking in multiple directions back and forth...

Hello everyone! Recently I got two ducks- Nemo and Bella, both around three weeks old. I’ve been feeding them correctly but they have stopped eating their duck food and will only eat peas and lettuce or other vegetables and fruits. It has only happened this past two days but I can’t help but...

So I have a problem. My grandpa gave me a duck egg to hatch out almost 12 days ago, which I put in my incubator. He gave me another today so I put that one in. And my mom asked me to put 4 silkie eggs in on Sunday. I only have one incubator. How do I manage these hatch dates when they are...

is this a good essay? what should I add or change? Ducks Intro My family is allergic to many, many things. Dogs, cats, hay, grass, rabbits, rodents. So when my brother or I want a pet, we have to get… creative. I managed to get myself a crested gecko, and we have a family...

ive just recently began letting my ducks out every other day for supervised freerange. my goal is to get them to the lake that is in our yard, and ive almost got them comfortable enough to reach the bank. however, im concerned about them swimming past where i can reach them, and if they will...
