Ok so I live in southern Ontario Canada. It's starting to cool off now so my ducks have not laid at all in the past few weeks and I've seen my male breed them once. Is the laying season over now? Or are my ducks old. I got. A few new ones and they never laid. I'm not sure if it was because they...

Haha I know I went back and realized I was unclear! When I get home I'll check if he's doing ok.

Haha sorry it's a chicken hen a Cochin she has 19 chicks and 1 duckling

Can a hen raise a call duckling?

Yes everyone's a call

Ok so say it bred my hens. Would they be mostly call?

That's what I said to my mum. Thank you. I'm probably going to keep him. He was suppose to be a silver but I love his colouring either way!!

Ok so this "call duck" is almost 3 months old and as big or bigger then the others. I'm not sure if he's actually a call. Someone please help. I'm pretty sure it's a he because of the green coming in on his head. But I'm not sure if he's maybe a cross? He was from a breeder I got him as a 3 week old

Hmm well that's ok! I'm still trying to figure out this whole duck thing lol! And I think he's older or molting! I will have to see if any of my ducklings end up being Drakkes. And the guy I bought them from is really sketchy and always wants too hug me. But I have a few ducklings now so we will see

No I did not hatch them. I bought them. They belong too me and they seem happy, they stopped laying eggs for the year though I think.

Ok thank you :) my next question is how do I tell the age of my ducks?

Ok so at the feed store they told me that an older Drakke fertilizing eggs will cause more ducklings not to make it. Is this true?

Mine lay eggs on and off depends on how much they've been in the garden. Or I can't find the eggs.

I'll see at my feed store. Thank you for the advice

They get fed everyday a mixture of things. Chicken laying feed. Peas, corn they forage in my garden.

What could go wrong? That was my second hatch. The first was 5 ducklings and this was 2 with one dead. What can I do? And I'm giving him a duck starter and he can lift his head and he's running around.

He's still trying to use his feet. Struggling a bit. Should I be giving him niacin?

Update: the first hatchling is doing great he's a little yellow guy! Everything seems normal. The second one who hatched out has died. So I have one duckling. Out of 16 eggs I'm giving the rest a bit longer just incase. Idk if I'm doing something wrong with the eggs so they would die.
