Are you using regular plant seeds??? Or aquatic plants???

Thank you!! I just showed my husband all of your pictures and weather permitting, he is going to help me get a similar set up!!! I think this will end up being a lot cheaper than anything else I've looked at, and considering our duck family is expanding at the end of this month, we need to...

I have an order in process with metzers.... supposed to be 11 females and 1 male! (a hute variety but 3 of the girls and the boy are supposed to be welshies) now I am seriously worried :(

I think there is a very good possibly that yours is the same one as the second picture I posted. I am glad to hear her mates are getting along better with her, the poor thing's eye looks so painful right there!!!

that is the same and only picture I could find as well when I was trying to find it!!! So I didnt know if it was incorrectly labeled or what. Still a very beautiful bird, not matter what it is called!!

That is what she called it :/ I know I can't really find anything on that color either other than a website saying they use it to describe a shade of purple they sometimes hatch. Maybe this lady is doing the same, idk. I will see if she will send me more recent pictures. Thank you both very...

I am considering buying these peachicks from someone local. She says this one is a purple split (I am confused because shouldn't there be a color after the word split to indicate what the split color is. Or is purple the split color and it's actually another color?) And that this one is an...

Exactly like sharing the same due date LOL!!! I had to get several, as I recently figured out I have 4 boys and only 3 girls. Not a safe ratio!!! One of my boys is a mallard, so I got him a couple mallard females since everyone else is so much bigger than him (and they have the best chance...

Thank you everyone. Every day seems to get better, they must be adjusting finally. The chicks and ducks I have raised prior never went through that so it really concerned me something was wrong. Thanks for the mirror and duster ideas I will add those in the morning :)

That is awesome!! It looks so easy. Close ups after seeds start growing to see the plant set up would be very appreciated :)

I am getting more girls then too!!! Metzer????

I do have them under a heat lamp, I thought they were too hot so I moved it farther away and they started shivering. So I moved it back and they started crying again. They seem so desperate for something and I can't figure it out :\

I am trying to figure out if my keets are normal in the fact they have cried all evening yesterday and all night long. There is only 5 of them, and there was always at least one was standing with it's head out stretched crying. I am not sure if the person I bought them from used an incubator or...

Thank you very much!! I haven't heard of pied pearls but I will look them up :) I'll try to find them some of that kind of food ASAP, thank you :)

I am pretty sure that is exactly the section my question is posted...... I have looked at a bunch of pictures of babies and I do not see any babies so far that looks exactly like mine so I am wondering if they are mixed. That is why I am asking. I also was told when I bought ducks to feed it...
