Hello All, I unfortunately need to rehome my 9 ducks due to personal reasons. I have 2 Pekin Mixes (both female), 3 Rouen Mixes (all female) and 4 Swedish Mixes (2 male, 2 female).
Has anyone successfully made their own breeds?
The reason I ask is my Black Swedish Drake mated with my Pekin. I hatched the eggs and came out with three different colored ducks. One obviously is a Blue maybe Black Swedish as her feathers come in, The other is a Beige color and lastly the runt...
My 4 ducklings are growing up, they are currently 2 months old.. Time to play guess the gender. None have drake feathers yet, but here are videos of their quacks. Videos are uploaded to youtube since I cant seem to figure out how to post them on here.
1) Hopper =
2) Chase =
3) Brownie =
4)...
Was getting rid of old baby food since
My daughter outgrew it and noticed the side of the container with niacin. What does everyone think ok for ducks? Figured if ok better than garbage. All have been open so can’t donate
So I am debating if I should sell eggs on EBay. I have a barnyard/backyard mix and want to see the opinion and stories of everyone who buys and ships eggs. I am getting more eggs than we go through lately, and dont plan on incubating anymore at this time. The areas I am needing help on are;
1)...
Between 3 female ducks, laying eggs currently, and 3 more growing up, I am thinking about selling fertilized duck eggs. I usually sell random stuff on Ebay and figured maybe I could try there, I have a backyard mix. Pekin, Rouen, Swedish females with a Swedish Drake. I have hatched some eggs...
This question is not in reference to me but a facebook friend. She ordered Goslings and has started to raise them, however she is telling me they are starting to die. She is stating they will drink water and pass away, making it seem like over hydration, however being waterfowl i would think...
Looking to rehome my 6 month old Muscovy Drake. He was a rescue duckling and we raised him from 4 days old. However he has become more aggressive in his hormonal state, and we dont have the amount of females he needs to calm down so he is acting out. With having two young daughters I...
Doing our first time incubating eggs and we have 3 signs of life.. The mother is a Pekin and the Father is a Blue Swedish. I am curious to see peoples photos of their feathered Pekin X Swedish cross breeds.. If you have them please show. Looking forward to see if i can hatch these 3 eggs out...
Hello all, just trying to theorize some stuff and wanted everyone's opinion. My Blue Swedish Drake (Prince) seems to mount my female Blue Swedish (Princess) and my Mallard (Mal). However I have never witnessed him mount my Female Pekin (Cleaner). Cleaner is the only one who is laying eggs...
A co worker of mine approached me about peacocks/peafowl.. She has wild ones laying nests all over her and her families property.. She joked with me since i started to incubate duck eggs about giving me eggs to incubate. Doing research im not finding much of any laws pertaining to removing...
So while in my garage helping a friend, my almost 2 year old comes out and hits buttons on the incubator and turns it off.. i turn it back on, it starts to rise back up temp wise so figured all was well.. I go to check on everything this morning (going on day 2) and the incubator is showing...
So my daughter has been begging me to incubate the eggs we have been getting from our 1 Pekin laying, figured I would try out 6 of them that we have collected. Mom Pekin - Dad Blue Swedish.
A few things to consider with this which could cause us to have a poor hatch rate; first time hatching...
So my 6 year old asked me when i was collecting the duck egg, why we cant incubate the smaller ones and have to wait for them to be bigger.. Tried to do some quick research, but couldn't really find an answer. Does anyone have one? I am figuring due to the size of a duck, but would a smaller egg...
I have a Blue or Black Swedish drake (he kind of has black parts and blue parts on him) and a female Pekin. Wondering because of the genes if any ducklings once they breed would turn out to be a silver Swedish, or something completely different?
Hello all, so today seems to be a posting day for me lol. Just out of curiosity I started looking up Ordinances in my area for Ducks. Not finding much on it, but have ran into about owning a Permit from FWC. There is a free one for personal pets by the looks of it and a $50 for unlimited...
Hello all, I am slowly working on plans to modify my duck house one final time. Tired of hitting my back on the way out of the thing (I am a short guy this shouldn't be happening). I want to be able to walk into the house and have a hardwired mesh area to the left of the house with a small house...
I got my new incubator in, the Janoel 48, and just bought two female ducks for my drakes. I want to get familiarized more with it and how to set it up properly, however being a Chineseincubator the instructions are horrible. Anyone have these and can help me with it prior to me actually using it?
Hello all I just picked up 2 new female ducks. The brown one the owner called it a Camo? Never heard of that type of duck. Can anyone confirm what she is?
