I found my duck upside down and flopping around and unable to turn right side up. Since then, she keeps turning on her side and flopping around, head all the way back and tongue hanging out... it almost looks as if she is having seizures. she is about 4 weeks old, and...
What a nice big nest! I have no experience with broody ducks, so I am no help, but I am impressed with her skills!
Yah, it was and I do mean "WAS" a nice big beautiful nest will explain in a minute.

Hi all,
Do any of you have a duck hen setting or is everyone incubating their ducks?
I have a few questions if I could... I am sharing a pic of one of my nests that my beautiful Jennifer is setting on. She is a mix between blue sweed and cayuga.
Is this nest too big?
Is it normal for her...
I saw this thread and had to respond. I love dying brown eggs they are so much more colorful. Personally I just go and buy the color kit and do nothing different... except once in a while add a little extra food coloring at the end to make different or darker colors
I sold most of my eggs I...

Here's where i need the help...
I have no clue when they are due... is there anyway to tell???
Also, what does it mean when they are throwing the eggs out of the nests? Is it the same as when...
Hi all, I am in need of help, my muskovey duck is not doing good. He's lathargic, wont really eat, drink, move, and seems to be bloated and is quiet warm to the touch - almost like a fever.
I now have him seperated from the others, in the house. He is about a year old. I love him dearly and...
sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you Alaskan... The eggs stay in the flat very well, as long as you do not tip it to far and accourding to the information collected on incubating, we only tilt to about 15 degrees, maybe 20. if you properly set the eggs, they will not fall out...
my last post for the evening...
Yah I have a neighbor that you would not believe and would not put it past her... but the only thing is that rules that out they have been outside for only 3 days... completely isolated and outside my bedroom window with a DH that does not ever sleeps...

Cyn said it all for me... she was my first phone call when we found the blood and has been working with me for the past 24 hours... there were no sighns at all... we are very protective when it comes to our babies... so needless to say, they get checked on several times a day...
Yes, I believe...
We received a hatch back on Sept 19th of

Have you tried just sitting down and just being quiet? I go outside all the time and just sit on the ground... not all, but most of mine will come over and sit in my lap or on my leg... keep from being quick, move slowly, and just give them the option of coming to you... when they do come up to...
Ruth, I had to separate her because the others were beating her up. Also, did not want the chance of infecting the others in case there was something wrong with her... and LOL ... Believe me, they do have several feeders... I have spent a pretty fortune on them... I think I actuall bought to...
Okay, well, I thought I would post a pic of this lil one... both of chicks are the same age... 3 weeks old. What is wrong with this lil one? She is eating and drinking well. I have been giving her vitamins. Her fecal is normal and not caking or sticking to her bottom.
Does anyone have any...
