That is a cayuga duck egg

I have a waitlist for my duck eggs at $6 a dozen

Do you have polish?

Thank you for saying this! No one seems brave enough to talk bad about them because they spent so much money! I want to brood outside and I almost bought one! Thanks for speaking up!

Broad Breasted bronze turkeys and want to know what the best feeder is for them chick starter? flock raiser? Layena

New to turkeys and need to know what I need for housing and shelter once they are outside... they will be left to roam my 1/2 acre back yard once they are outside or I have a chain link pen I could put them in! help!

I have ducks not chickens but from what I understand it is the same process. I would like to know what rules to follow when collecting eggs from my hens to hatch them. How long can they sit out? How old should they be? How do I know if the egg is able to hatch or not? Will i be able to collect...

I currently have 4 females and one male. It is winter and so they are only laying about one egg every few weeks but I want to get my info now so I can have babies in the spring. I have one female that was broody last year before I even had a male and I would by all means prefer to have them...

Anyone who is thinking about getting duck, I say YES! I love my ducks. They are adorable and super nice. Mine follow me around my back yard and come running across the yard when I feed them every morning. They can't fly so I just let them roam around my fenced half acre. I have a flock of mixed...

Thanks! do you think it would detour them enough to do raised beds? even if i put an animal guard like the small spikes around the edge? i am really trying to avoid putting up a fence if i can :/

If you have too many, give them away! Sometimes the local food bank will except them depending on where you live or give them to neighbors because they are so good for you. I attached one of my favorite links about the eggs to here. They are great for people with heart burn or really acidic...

The Duck ABC's This is exactly what I was going to say! the only difference is that mine have stopped laying just about 2 weeks ago because I live in North Idaho and the temp is now in the single digits and i refuse to coop them up just so i can put a light on them but other than that they lay...

The best thing you can do is to convince them to lay in what they think is a safe spot. If I move the hay too much in their house or get them new straw or if i do not leave at least 2 eggs for them they will move their nest... i have had my ducks actually move the remaining eggs 80 feet across...

So I wanted to let everyone know that my first season with ducks was a complete success! I Originally bought 2 Cayugas and 2 Khaki Campbells and kept them inside as babies way longer than I should have. but you live and you learn! One duck got attacked by the neighbor dog before I could even...

I am not sure of the exact environment you have them in but I would suggest clipping them especially since you aren't hurting them in any way. Yesterday I went and picked up and free duck from craigslist, and she was giving him away because he was lonely after being left behind by all mallards...
