magpie

Hello. I would like to add some new duck breeds in my yard... I already own Indian Runner ducks and chickens. I would want to add at least one breed that could live and free range together with my birds - with these qualities if possible : 1 - good egg layers (a breed that lays even in winter...

I’ve got 3 Magpie Duck hens and 1 drake. 2 of the hens went broody right before I left on vacation. They’ve been sitting on eggs for around 18 days now. I’ve raised ducks in a brooder but never let a mama raise them. Lots of questions! 1. Should I take their pool away and just give water deep...

Hey everyone. I am wondering how long do magpie duck eggs take to hatch. From what I see on different websites they aren’t really adding up. Some say just 20 days, and others are saying about the same as other ducks. And help would be appreciated!

Hi guys! We are first timers with baby ducklings. We have a two week old magpie duck that was more lethargic than the rest of the flock. We have separated her and she is in a warm, dry place with food and water (ACV and extra b vitamins added in). Her eyes and bill are clear, her vent is clear...

We have 1 magpie duck that is about 6 months old. The duck is lonely and needs a friend, yet everywhere I've looked is sold out of magpie's. Does anyone know of any for sale or have any to sell? I'm in Indiana and depending on location I'd even be willing to come pick up.

Hi! So I would love to start breeding Magpie Call ducks. I have a blue bibbed Call pair, and I’m wondering what colour ducklings will my blue bibbed pair produce? Will they produce magpies? Thank you!

Hellllloo. I've currently been a duck mother for 3 weeks (I think) Grabbed 5 babes from TSC, I'll post all of them just to show. The only ones I know for sure are the 2 Pekin. BUT THIS ONE duck.. the lone ranger, odd man out, brown one. What is it? Golden 300 drake? That's the best guess I...

Hi I am looking to sell 8 of my magpie ducks (4 drakes and 4 females) as a lot -$160 The silver/lavender colored one is a drake. (They are free ranged I just penned them to get the pics)

Hi everybody! This year I started a small flock of ducks. I have a magpie duck and she is just the sweetest girl. Definitely my nicest and most well behaved bird, she's also my best layer. Her only issue is that her grooming habits are AWFUL. Her face is always so dirty and caked with dirt. As...

Hi, I ended up with way too many boys this season and was wondering if there were any other Magpie enthusiasts near me looking for decently marked (probably not show quality, but not quite pet quality) boys to join their flocks. 2 blue and 2 black. I’m thinking $20 ea. As you can see in the pics...

Hello all!! My name is Jami and I raised chickens for most of my childhood with 4-H and helping my big brother with his flocks. I’m a 31 year old SAHM of 3 very special turddlers (I always reference them as X, Y & Z) and wife of an army veteran that’s still serving in the Guard. Recently we...

Hi, I have three sweet 5 week old babies I chose from a mixed straight run at a feed store when they were a few days old. I thought I was getting a Pekin, a Crested Buff and a Magpie. Now I'm thinking I have a Pekin, a Crested Indian Runner and maybe a Magpie? I'm curious about her/his feet...

Ok so this isn't the first time my magpie started limping but I caught the cause! My silver appleyard girl mounted her while they were taking turns and then my magpie started to limp. This is the second time this has happened and the first time she got over it after a couple days. Is there...

So I know it was one of my 4 ducks! It was a small white duck egg. My silver appleyard has been laying her big eggs and my runner just started up her greenish eggs. My last two are muscovy and magpie. I'm thinking it was my magpie since she's 7-8 months old and my muscovy is 5-6 months old and...

Hello again I'm back at it with my wacky questions! So I have 4 ducks, a runner, silver appleyard, muscovy, and magpie/pekin (we think?), how can I tell who is laying based on behavior or looks rather than picking them up and feeling pelvic bones? I don't like to have to chase after them and...

Hi all! So a month or so back I got this girl from someone and they claimed she was magpie but I think she looks swedish. They said they didn't have any Swedish on their farm and they only bred magpie and Pekin. The same people hatched lilac and brown magpies along with a couple white and I'm...

Hi, I’m in Ohio. I have two quality males but would like 4 to 6 females. Please contact Robin at [email protected] Thank you.

I live in NE Oregon and I'm looking to buy Magpie Ducklings but I can't seem to find any place online that sells them sexed or doesn't match them 1 for 1. I'm only in the market for 4 or 5 total. So I really need to find a place that I can buy them sexed (1 drake and the rest hens). None of the...

Hey! I'm starting this thread to document my brooding and raising of chicks for the year. Feel free to join in for the ride! Lots of pictures will be included. :p
