Wow 21! How do you have time for yourself lol I brooded 15 ducklings inside and all together have 19 but wow 21. What are you doing with all of them besides hoarding lol

Didn't take the drake to get busy. It wasn't pretty but he did mate my older, and larger girl. I wasn't sure how old he was, but at least I know if he ain't mature he soon will be. So I am saving duck eggs for now. His feathers are coming back rather quick, guess when he's not the bottom of the order it happens faster. Gotta watch him though the 2 buffs that came with him were trying to do theduck line and he chased them off. If he gets aggressive I will have to pen someone. WHic I hate to do because they found the pond last week, or got courage enough to follow the female I had and they have a dip 2-3 times a day.

Think my duck either is hiding a nest somewhere or stopped laying. Haven't had an egg in 3 days Hmmmmm.

Well...We bought ours with egg production in mind.. The more I look at them though, I think our straight run order turned out to be mostly males...I think we might have gotten 2-3 females which isn't good....

I started with 3 Rouens. One suddenly died, healthy the day before. Any idea why this would happen? I'm new to raising ducks but have really gotten attached to them. Mine are about 2 months old now.
