Two questions, sort of related. I have had several duck sagas of which I have posted. I started with a pair of mallards from Rural King 2 years ago. Currently, the pond by my house in our residential neighborhood has 30 adult mallards and 8 week old babies. 2 susies are also on a nest. All...

A lady found a goose in her yard injured. No one would help, no body of water near, no origin. I picked it up and brought it home. Now it is just outside and drinking water. I have my 4 incubator hatched ducks (may 17) in a kennel secured with chicken wire and a top. Is it an option to put...

Would like to ID these eggs, had to move nest a little bit and need to know if momma will come back and how long to incubate if necessary.

One of my Susie's showed up with 4 babies about 3 days ago. There have been 2 geese that come and go to our pond, but have recently been staying. I have been watching carefully because of the babies and this morning confirmed, the goose is "mothering" the ducklings. Almost more than the momma...

This is the last baby that hatched from my 4 eggs that were out in the snow for over a month. It is noticeably smaller than the other 3 and it appears to be black. There aren't any other candidates for baby daddy than the mallards on the pond. So will this guy stay black? Is it an anomaly?

Good Morning, Just thought I'd post here to see if there were anyone with a similar situation. We had very cold weather in January and the first part of Feb. Approximately January 31 we had a sleet storm. On Feb 4th, my son found a nest of duck eggs (we have 7 mallard ducks that were hatched...

Need any advice. I know, or think I know, that one goose is not a good thing. We have a pond, and the geese are known to fly in and leave periodically. There is no pattern or schedule that we are aware of. I currently have 11 ducks on the pond that were hatched in July. The goose has been...

Id like to have an idea of how many males are in this bunch.

Looks like a male and a female but not sure.

History: 2 mallards purchased at RK 1 year ago ( one male and one female), 10- 2 week old ducklings from these 2 mallards; one extra mallard has flown in to our pond and been around for a couple of months; both males leave and return almost every day; there were 12 ducklings on Friday of last...

This may be the wrong place, but my semi-pet duck hatched 12 ducklings, first noticed yesterday. Today she is on the pond and a LONG way from her nest with is at the neighbors by their driveway. There are at least 2 or 3 still pipped and I can hear them. But she's not going back yet.....will...

I just hatched out 8 mallard ducklings. This one has a funny little yellow tuft of feathers on its head. When hatching the next to last one was bottom up and its head was stuck inside the shell to what appeared to be left over yolk. Could that be why the funny feathers developed or totally...
