Will she accept them even if they have been away ?

So my Aylesbury duck has been sitting on her eggs for almost 28 days now, and I only realised 15 days in that she had been laying the whole time. After candling the eggs I think I’ve got two out of six that are ready to pip but the rest still look quite behind as their air cell is quite small...

It is strange because she is a purebred cayuga and this is her first month of layer ever, so i thought i would be getting charcoal or at least grey eggs :confused:

I have never heard of them before but they look pretty similar, she came from someone who breed mixed ducks alltogether with Saxony, buff orpington, khaki, welsh harlequins so she is a mystery to me because she lays bluegreen eggs! Unfortunately i think you are right that she is the only...

Hello everyone, my duckies are turning 1 year old soon and started laying a month or two ago, they have been building nests so I am going to let them go broody. Although I am having trouble identifying if the eggs are fertilised or not. I have 1 drake and three ducks shown below. My drake...

I’m worried she’s now got some sort of respiratory illness, I can see through her nostrils but she’s been shaking her head and I’m worried as I’ve been feeder her water this week maybe some got into her lungs? Or by checking her neck we’ve damaged her airways I’m really worried

I checked her over and we found a patch of missing feathers but all the skin underneath was clean with no cuts, except for a scab that was dry and seemed to be healed over. I took her inside to evelate food and water to make sure she was warm and wasn’t competing with the others for food, Now...

From what I can see when she moves it slightly I can’t see any visible injuries or signs of feathers missing. I am too scared of hurting her to stretch her neck out to check right underneath

I’ll be able to see her in the morning before I go and at dinner then just before bed, holding food up to her

So almost a week ago, a fox attacked my 7 ducks and I thought i came out as it was just started since noone seemed to be badly injured. Although by the morning they were all silent and most of them limping. In the daylight i saw two of my babies had some sort of injuries that made them unable to...

Aw was really hoping for a buff Orpington, Does the welshie grow whiter over time or is she a gold variety ? (I’m new to duck genetics so idk much about silver or gold welsh harlequins)

For anyone interested here are my original purebred 4 2 girls (Aylesbury and Cayuga) 2 drakes (Khaki Campbell and Welsh Harlequin)

Back in March I got day old ducks and ended up with 2 drakes and 2 ducks, once they were 4 months I got 3 more girls 7-12 weeks old that were mixed but I still can’t tell the breeds as I am new to this. I was told I was given a Welsh harlequin (biggest), buff Orpington (smallest) and a Swedish...
