ducks

Is it possible for Cayuga ducklings to have white on them? I know that as the adults get older they slowly turn white, but is it possible for ducklings to have some white fluff on them too?

Hello, I am a new duck mom, they are only 2 months old. Justice is acting like she drunk, she wobbles excessively and she bobs her head back-and-forth. She’s been losing your balance standing and while she tries to groom her self. She’s been eating and drinking just fine. This has been going on...

Hey y’all! We have a couple mallard hens who will be moving outside in a few days. I was going to keep them with my chickens (all hens too) until our neighbor offered us this run for free and I’m not one to turn down something free LOL We are going to add hardware cloth up the sides and create...

I finally separated my Muscovy pair from the khaki Campbells last week. I am up to 8 Muscovy eggs today. I know oftentimes they'll lay huge clutches of eggs and hatch them all out, but other times they'll stop laying at around 13 eggs. I would really like to hatch out more then that, so I can...

Hello, my khaki Campbell hens feathers are not looking ok. Is this wet feather or just damage? There has been some Drake chasing happening on and off by other “groups”. Everyone is “twitterpated” right now 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol. If it is… I can’t figure out the cause as we have a natural pond and a small...

Well the thing I was worried about happening happened. My ducks were able to get through the fence and they found the creek. After work today I saw their footprints in the sand down by the bank. How likely do you think it is that they'll find their way back? I walked down stream both...

Just wondering if anyone could help me identify my little duckling? I know the yellow is a pekin but i’m not sure if the brown is a chocolate runner or khaki campbell? Thanks!

Hi all, I know there are many threads about giving ducks water overnight but they didn’t answer my questions given my particular setup. I have 5 Rouen females. I live in Maine. The previous owners of our house had ducks and had a small room/coop at the back of the barn for them so I am using...

Today my 6 month old Silver Appleyard 'Rose' started making a strange sound, like a small dog bark or yip. Can't find anything wrong with her would this be a normal sound to not worry about? Thanks

I have three, 4 month old Cayugas. Hatched the day before Valentine's. Two hens and a drake. Today I saw my drake actually breed one of the hens. They did their little necking motion and he got on top of her and did the thing. She didn't fight or fuss and just let him. I feel like 4 months is...

Hello all! I've lurked awhile now, but it's time to post! Is my gorgeous, cuddly girl a Khaki Campbell? I'm not well versed in duck breeds. I heard a quack one day, and looked over the fence. This lovely girl was there! I had just bought a pet pool, so I took it over to the neighbours for the...

A friend of mine brought this to my attention.... Lower Providence Township in eastern Pennsylvania will vote to virtually eliminate the ownership of all chickens in their community. There will be a meeting July 20th at 7pm to vote in an extremely unfair amendment to their rules. I don't live...
