My husband and I just agreed to foster some ducklings for a local nonprofit all-animal sanctuary here in Tampa. When they get older, they'll return to the sanctuary where they'll have their own lake, protection, and possibly be able to join an existing flock. When we arrived, we expected 5...

Hello! Very new to raising chickens. We're actually fostering a few chicks for a local animal sanctuary and learning as we go (we have experience raising ducks, of which were also fostering). Can anyone help identify some of these chicken breeds? They're very tiny and at least 2 weeks old. We...

Oh gosh, here we are again. Looking for potential adopters of mixed Runner Ducklings (Chocolate Runners x White/Fawn Runners - who may he mixed with Pekins) in Florida (we're in Tampa, but will travel for a good home). BACK STORY: Let me back up. In October, we rescued Delly as a 2-week old...

Of course, leave it to my ducks... my pampered spoiled rotten ducks to get into trouble and give me heart attacks. Here's baby Delly (approx. 3-4 weeks?), a Pekin we rescued from a horrendous market. She was aspirated and recovered with nebulizer and antibiotics. Now this. A cut on her...

Yesterday, my sister and "rescued" a Pekin duckling (approximately 2.5 weeks old). She was being sold at a market, kept alone in a cage with no water or food. Of course we couldn't leave her. She seems aspirated - she peeps fine (and loud lol) but occasionally some of those peeps sound raspy...

Hello, I realized I never introduced myself (I've been here for about 3 months now). (1) I still feel like I'm new to ducks. I picked up my first three in April 2022. We're in Tampa, Florida. (2) Now I somehow have 8... 3 fawn runners, 2 chocolate runners, and 3 ancona ducklings. (3) Their...

We've been incubating duck eggs for the first time and today is Day 27 and 4 of our 5 eggs have pipped! We've named two so far: Kirby and Quaximus Prime Any name ideas for the other 3? Also... we will be looking for someone to adopt 3 of these little babies (as pets in a safe and happy...

Our two newest runner ducks (Livvy and Lucy) - 3 months old - are so loud at night, hours after we put them to bed in their enclosure for the night. They are both females and live separately from but still have view of our three older runners (Oliver, Jerry, and Keisha) who are in their own...

This forum has been the immense help we didn't know we needed (with our egg-bound female, Keisha, and with our poor Lenny whi passed unexpectedly). We are taking time to focus on our little flock family who really are our feathered dogs. Well, in October we will be incubating Ancona duck eggs...

Does anyone vaccinate their pet ducks? If so, for what and how frequently? After losing our Lenny yesterday, we're wondering what we could have done differently, especially if it was respiratory or some other type of infection. We have 5 other ducks (runners), including Keisha his mom who is...

I posted briefly yesterday on another thread. Just when we're seeing so much progress in our female, Keisha, who is recovering from being severely egg bound, we are devastated to see that her son, Lenny, who is our baby, is now doing poorly... and we don't know why. He is very weak. He won't...

Hello; looking for some answers... My 1.5 year old female runner duck has been doing poorly for a few months now... she hasn't laid eggs for the last 5 months (she's been laying regularly since 6 months old). Initially we thought she was molting but realized it's been taking so long and her...
