I know this is an older post but I was wondering if you had any success confining them. My ducks are on my parents property and it has a very small creek that runs in the front yard. I’ve been trying to think of a temporary fence I could through up when I want to give them access to the creek...
They are all adorable! What is oreo’s mix? I wasn’t planning on doing any breeding but I really am curious what I’d get with my Cayuga and my Rouen khaki mix. I’m afraid to try it because my Ancona has scoliosis and I’d hate to accidentally spread that to another duck.
I know this is an old thread but I just brought home five girls and I’m curious about them. I was told there are two Pekins, two khaki Campbell’s and a Rouen khaki mix. I’m wondering if they might all be mixed. The pekins have spots on their bills and the khaki Campbell’s have slight lines by...
I don’t have a picture on hand. They are actually at my parents house. Right now they are on grass and the pin is set up next to a shed. I have a 300 gallon stock tank I’m going to set up in there but right now there is a large kiddy pool. I also have a few buckets for fresh drinking water...
Hey I have a pair of ducks. They have a 20’ x 16’ enclosure with plenty of water and food plus a refinished dog house they call home. They don’t really come out of there coop except early in the morning and late at night. I don’t know why... the enclosure is hardware cloth completely covered and...
Thank you so much I will try those out in the morning. The Cayuga is about 2 weeks older and they are inseparable so I am trying to find the balance with there diets. The Cayuga had angel wing which I wrapped and now lays flat but I did cut down the crumbles a bit. Maybe that’s what caused this...
i have two ducklings a Cayuga and an Ancona. The Ancona is 7 weeks old. They had a bit of a niacin issue 3 weeks ago but with a change in food I haven’t noticed any shaking and walking has been fine. As the Ancona started to really feather on of her wings seemed to sit a bit higher. I thought...
I’ll get a picture when I get home. When I got him or her the wings looked the same size. He was a lot smaller than the other ducklings he was with it’s a sizeable difference, the wings look the same one is just bigger.
I have a Cayuga that’s around 5 weeks old. I got him to be a friend for my loan Hatcher who is now just over 2 weeks old. One of the wings on the Cayuga is larger than the other. The bird is feathering walking eating and acting completely normal. I feed an 18% protein chick starter, lowest...
I’ll get some pics tomorrow during bath time. Btw I was wondering with feeding I don’t want to over do it on the protein for the big guy, should I feed them separate? I know I’m supposed to keep food out for them but with their protein needs being different I’m not sure. They are inseparable and...
lol I didn’t have an extra food and water dish, ones an ice cube tray and the other is part a a little hatchimal toy kit. My daughter has been trying to get some of her toys in there since the little one hatched. :D
lol it didn’t even take a night. I went to let them free together to see how they did. Well the big one is super sweet with the baby, hated me but after some forced love and quiet talking our little hang out ended with the little baby sleeping in my hands and the big baby sleeping halfway off my...
