Hello fellow feather-loving friends!
Every since my ducks were laying-age, my family has enjoyed a VERY steady supply of duck eggs. My Pekins being the best layers, providing 1 egg every day (only taking a 5 day break a month). As of the first week of August 2019, my ducks began molting. There...
I have three ducks (a rouen, a swedish, and a cayuga). All of them are same age and started laying at the same time. I get 3 eggs a day but all of them are white and look the same. Is there any way I can tell whose egg is whose?
New duck owner. We have 5 ducks. Got them in May. They roam free in our backyard. We have 4 females and one male. One of the females is a Cayuga, I believe. She’s always been a leader in the group but never aggressive until recently. She charges us and our dogs when we walk outside and bites...
Hello
I recently became the parent to two cayuga ducks (1 male 1 female) this spring. We purchased a chicken coop about a month after keeping them in a smaller cage when they were ducklings. The new coop has a fenced in area and a coop that they must walk up a ramp to get to. The ducks love the...
Hey everyone! So a few weeks back I got a Call Duck duckling (hatched May 17). Just the one but I didn’t want it to be lonely so I started looking for another duckling quickly. I was after something with Cayuga coloring so when the man who hatched this duckling (~May 19) told me it was...
I’m a duck mom! I have a pair of Cayuga ducks, Lloyd & Tina! I waited and waited for Lloyd to get his drake curls so I knew for sure! Thanks to this great place, I was pretty sure of their sexes by their “quack”. Lloyd is super sweet and easier going when it comes to holding and handling, Tina...
Hi there!
I am a first time duck owner, and I have two, 2 month old cayuga ducks. I got them from a fairly shady breeder when they were a day old (chicks not handled and kept in small brooder boxes with dozens of other ducklings, very crowded). These two have always been quite skittish...
My daughter who’s almost 9 aspires to be a vet. We already have 2 dogs and a green cheek-conure. We thought Cayuga ducklings would make a good hardy pet! This is all new for us and I’m looking forward to learning all about proper care for them!
Im looking for a new home for my 1.5 year old Cayuga drake. He’s completely not aggressive with people, but he is a bit shy. He’s been overzealous with my young ducks, and I don’t have an ouch ladies to keep his affection spread out evenly. I’m in CT, willing to meet somewhere or you can pick...
I am looking for female muscovy ducks, cayuga ducks, and fertile eggs to hatch. I would love to find someone local but open to other options! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am located in Indianapolis, IN.
Hi all! New here! A little introduction, I have four ducks; two Cayuga hens, one Welsh Harlequin hen, and one Black Swedish drake. All hatched at Metzer farm 9/24 and arrived home in middle Georgia 9/26. Everything has been perfect with the flock, well, until now! We (my family) are new duck...
Hi friends! First time poster here, I have three female ducks currently, two khakis and one runner. We decided to add a drake to the flock recently and I found a rescue a few hours from me and got approved for a drake! (see attached photo) the female in the photo was so unique I decided to get...
Hi all! I have 2 new ducklings on the way from Metzer Farms. They'll be in on Wednesday. I lost my favorite buff duck, Luna, to a hawk earlier this month, so automatically when you loose 1 you gain 2 (duck math is a real thing)! After buckling down on our yard we decided to get another Buff and...
Hi ya'll! So my male Cayuga is being pretty rude.... He is now pushing a female away from food when they are all eating. The poor female is actually scared of him now and she automatically runs away when she passes him. Any suggestions how I can stop this behavior?
