cayuga duck

Hi, I just hatched my first flock of ducks 4 weeks ago. I have 6 happy and healthy ducklings. Today I noticed that the bills of 3 of my ducklings are turning a more green/blue rather than the black they were before. I know it’s not uncommon for pekin bills to get freckles or for cayugas to turn...

I seriously cannot handle the cuteness of my new baby. Seriously the tiniest duckling I have ever seen. These pics were taken today I got baby Echo 4 days ago and she/he has grown so u can imagine how tiny Echo was 4 days ago!!!! I’m so in love with this baby it’s scary ..lol

Hi! I was checking my 10 year old Cayuga for bumble foot and I saw that her feet look very strange near the back of her foot. I’ve delt with bumblefoot in a different duck before and it doesn’t look like that. I thought it looks like some kinda of foot fungus or something. Or maybe it’s just a...

Hello everyone I’m new here. To start off there is a back story on why I’m only looking for a single cayuga duck. Over this past weekend I came home from my 12 hour night shift at work to let the boys out for the morning and realized that my boyfriend had fallen asleep before he got the chance...

Hi everyone! I have a Cayuga duckling who is about 7 weeks old. He was completely fine and one night I was trying to get the other ducks in the duck house and he completely fell over and his legs shot straight out. He went limp and I thought he had passed away it was horrible. Then after about...

Hi we bought some Cayuga eggs last season to Incubate we got the eggs from 2 different places, no problem with hatching etc, We have 3 Drake's and 3 Females, now we want to be able to get as much fertile eggs as possible for Incubating next year how do we go about this? Do we need to take 2...

Hello! We bought a green duck diaper harness for our Cayuga hen back when she was alone and we thought we might need to keep her indoors with us until finding her a friend. Well, fast forward 3 months... The harness finally arrived and our duck also has a friend! We don't have a need for it...

3 of my 4 females (2 runners and 1 khaki) are laying, and have been since the beginning of October. They are now a little over 6 months. My Cayuga isn’t laying yet, but she has an awkward little “pouch” that almost drags the ground sometimes. I heard that means they are getting close to laying...

Hello wonderful peeps🐥🐣🐤🐔😃 is it too soon to tell the sex???. The quack sounds similar to my mallard drake at that age & its very "talkative". My khaki Campbell has a clear loud quack but is just as noisy. Is that any indication that it's a drake or a hen? Does the tone of the quack always...

We have two 3-month-old cayuga (presumed) females. They are so fun and beautiful. We love them. However, one of them is particularly noisy. I expect the noise with ducks of course. She is only noisy when I walk away, or when I am behind a bush or something. Once she loses sight of me, she quacks...

Hello! I have a 6 week old duck with some issues! At first I thought it was bumblefoot but after some research and some info from others. We believe it is either a slipped tendon/ hock injury! my vet around me does not handle ducks so I’m going to try and do this myself! been treating for...

I’m always amused by the way ducks eat. So my significant other made a little video of my ducks while they were eating. I love to watch them over and over while doing their business It just makes me happy 😃 so, show me your ducks while eating!

I have two 3 week old Cayuga ducklings, I’m new to ducks and the little brat grabbed a nerf dart the kids left on the ground and swallowed it whole before I could do anything.. it’s about 2 21/2 inches long foam dart with a rubbery tip on it. I checked her mouth and throat and it’s gone. I don’t...

We paid for 4 female duckling and our two anconas have been quacking for a while while our mallard and cayuga are making a weird noise. They're 9 weeks old now. Could they be late to the quack game or are they Drakes? We got a rooster from a group that was supposed to be all pullets so I...

Hi All, Some of you know, some don’t that I have two Cayuga ducklings who, right now, are 4,5 week of age. There names are Stip and Vlerk and they do pretty well. Last year my male call duck got hit by a car and the female beyond Herself. So we did find her a place to stay. A breeder who...

Hello! I'm a first time duck and chicken owner and I have a question. I have 2 Anconas, 1 Cayuga, and 1 Rouen ducks and recently I've been hearing a deeper kinda quack-like noise coming from one of my ducks, I believe it's Patty the Ancona, however I read that ducklings don't get their voice...

Hiya, yesterday I noticed my Cayuga duck had started to sit on her eggs, I candled a few and found out they where fertile. She was off them twice for about an hour or so yesterday, for her breaks which is normal. But today she didnt leaves her eggs until around 1:45 and she didn’t go back in...

Hello All! I had a question about weight loss for my chubby Cayuga, Fonda. Her "food boob" is much larger than all of the other ducks in my flock. I have a mixed flock of runners, Welshies, khaki Campbells and cayugas. The one other Cayuga doesn't have as prominent a keel and they are all fed...
