    HELP!

    Hmm. She didn't pass anything other than the egg-like thing so I wouldn't think she ate anything. Thanks for sharing!

    HELP!

    Okay. Thank you for your help! She laid a mostly hard (one soft spot at the top) egg this morning.

    Duck breathes with his mouth open

    I would say he/she is hot based on your description but if you are worried about it being something else I would take the drive to the vet. Hopefully, someone else on here can be of a bit more help

    HELP!

    She gets layer feed and has oyster out free choice all day and at night (when it’s warm enough for water not to freeze). She’s never had a problem before so i think it’s a fluke!

    HELP!

    Again, THANK YOU for your help! Here’s more pictures of the white “thing” as well as the soft egg she laid a while (3-6 hours) later. The “thing” doesn’t seem to move at all and seemed like a membrane when i opened it. As far as Sadie, my girl that laid it, she is acting completely normal and...

    HELP!

    My around one year old female is breathing through her butt, drinking a lot, not eating, limping, trembling, and has fluffy butt feathers. She did not lay yesterday or today. But still seems to be pooping fine. When I put her in a warm bath I could feel a small lump on the left side of her chest...

    how and when can you introduce baby ducks?

    Hi! You cannot introduce ducks until they are of mating age (for females, laying). So, you still have a while. As far as getting rid of ducks, I have read the ratio to be three female to one male or else over-mating can occur. Depending on the gender of your ducklings, this is a great...

    Can I keep ducks where I live?

    Hello! You would definitely need to make some changes to accomdate ducks as ducks and chickens' needs differ a bit. But, the part that is worrying me is that you intend to keep them on the lake. I used to live on the lake as well but NEVER let my ducks near it. While I have heard of this...

    Once the first egg is layed, when can I expect consistency?

    With ducks and chickens alike, it takes a bit of time. It varies depending on the duck or chicken. When my duck started laying she was consistent almost right away. Just give her a bit of time. :)

    I think my duck is a mutant...

    Hmmm...was it the aliens? Haha! Any ideas?

    I think my duck is a mutant...

    A while ago I noticed my duck seemed to have an extra toenail growing from her middle toenail. I didn't think much of it at the time. But now she seems to have grown a small toe from beneath her middle toe with a toenail (see picture). Thoughts??
