Hello! I’m new here and new to owning ducks! I have 3 female Saxony ducklings that are currently two weeks old. I have been feeding them Dumor chick starter/grower the first week and have switched them to Purina duck feed that I blend up to smaller pieces. I’ve been told to feed them Chicken...

Hello! I'm new. I like rare heritage poultry breeds and herbs gardens. I've got seven ducks: four Dutch Hookbills (mommy's favorite shhhh) and two Saxony ducks. Their names are Ida, Eda, Daniela, Penelope, Alice, and Cyrano de Bergerquack II. They are my favorite things. We go on walks together...

Now my saxony and black Swedish are presenting with what I suspect would be stage 1 angel wing but I’m not for certain. I started them on nature serve starter/grower feed until 4 weeks old and then switched to purina duck pellets 19% protein and add 1Tab of josh frogs brewers yeast per cup of...

Hi, so I have a Male Welsh Harlequin who turns 11 in July and a Female Saxony thats about 2-3. We never expected them to hatch any young, but I heard peeps from the nest she sits on, and now I'm scrambled figuring out what to do. We have raised ducklings before but never beyond the nest. We need...

Rebellious one aren't ya! I like that😉 If you have had either Saxony or Buff ducks I need your opinion and maybe some pics too! I have Seven ducklings purchased on the 12th of September and they looked like Saxony babies but now they look like buff teenagers! I'll attach pics and I would...

Will my Buff drake be able to breed my large Saxony hen? My buff drake is crested and I would love to have a crested duck that resembles a saxony duck. My Buff drake is a good bit smaller than my Saxony hen. T h w saxony hwn is in the back and the drake is in front of her. The size difference...

I have 4 different breeds of duckling. I’ve noticed the largest, our saxony, seems to have one of her feet more pigeon toed than the other girls(they’re all females). I feed them Mazuri Waterfowl Starter and add Thomas Labs Brewer’s Yeast w/Garlic to their feed. Should I be doing something...

I currently have 15 eggs incubating from my Saxony female who came from Meyer Hatchery last year. As she continues to lay, I am going to add more batches with weekly hatch dates after this first batch. She has mated with my Saxony drake as well as my half Mallard/half Pekin drake. So some will...

...and Their Love Affair With Water! This is my second day owning ducks and I have fallen head over heels in love with them! Those precious little peeps, the interesting looking bills, the ever so delicate looking webbed feet, and those expressive eyes with their heads cocked sideways peering...

My family and I have recently started raising ducks, and while we were planning on 4, an unplanned male was shipped to us and we're now up to 10 to allow for 4 females per drake. Our most recent shipment arrived today, all females consisting of a Blue Swedish, a Welsh Harlequin, a Buff, and a...

So I have female duck and a male duck (I’m in the hunt for more female ducks) and this morning my male duck was trying to mate her and grabbed the side of her face instead of the back of her head. Thankfully he didn’t rip her eye out but it does seem injured and my duck knowledge is pretty...

So I purchased 16 3/4 week old Muscovy ducklings on June 15, 2019 by June 27, 2019 I lost 7. on June 19th I sent them one deceased duckling off for a Necropsy. I don't have all of the official results back yet, the lab and the vet have just been awesome. We lost our first duckling on June 16...

3 nights ago, our two ducks (1.5 year old Pekin Male, 2.5 year old Saxony female) were attacked by a mink or weasel. I awoke at 4am to my dog (so proud of him) barking and growling incessantly out the window in the direction of our duck run. I was concerned for our little guys, and went out to...

Hi, I am after a cheaper alternative to having poultry for feed and I can buy wheat and / or barley at a very cheap price per ton. I was wondering if I could give it to my pekin ducks, muscovy ducks, saxony ducks and sussex chickens as their only diet from my. I would give them probably about...
