mallard duckling

Hey all, I have a question! It might be a dumb question but I’ve never raised Mallards before so I have no idea. Basically, I bought three mallard ducklings from the local big brand feed store. I wasn’t going to buy any ducklings this year as I already had some hatch, but they were the last...

Thanks to you guys there is one more baby duck 🦆 out there:) I found a single egg with no nest and in the middle of the field, not hidden at all. Just blue loneliness on the short grass. So I incubated it and it is a possible mallard duckling. See pictures. I found information here about...

Hello all, I was hoping to find someone who could help me understand what's going on with my Mallard duck egg, as it has yet to hatch and I noticed it some new changes today. To start off, I had gotten this egg a while ago (about roughly two weeks ago) after finding that my mallards had been...

Hi all! I'm a new duck mum after rescuing a mallard duckling from a water drain (vets wouldn't take it in because of the bird flu). We have been doing our research into caring for ducks and have bought a friend so it's not lonely. Our Indian runner is 7 weeks old but we are unsure of the age of...

Hey everyone! This afternoon I took home a baby mallard duck. I don’t know much about him other than that a friend of a friend was keeping him, and she had gotten him from someone who was keeping him in an apartment in the city and feeding him human baby food (???????). He was orphaned...

I know this is a chicken website, but I just googled a question for my baby ducklings and it lead me here. If anyone has any advice please help! My daughter and I rescued two baby Mallard ducks (2-3 weeks old) from our backyard. The mother had been attacked and killed by something. I got...

I’m really new and I have no idea what I’m doing but my mallard duck seems weak and she’s sleeping a lot and barley eating or drinking. I’ve tried giving her watered down oatmeal, watered down boiled egg yolk, and watered down feed. I genuinely don’t know what to do. She’s about a few days maybe...

I know that when a duckling starts to honk, it means it’s female, but is that always the case? My 3 week old female mallard looks to be growing that green sheen to her head like the males have, but I could be wrong.

Hi, I have a 2.5 week old mallard duckling. She is a rescue so is with me all the time but we try to spend a couple hours a day outside with the other ducks so she can integrate back into being a duck as she grows. Because this is my first duckling I’m not sure if her actions are normal. Her...

So i guessed it was a he when i got him. Hes my 1st duck and the person i got him from was pretty vague when giving him to me. I noticed his head has some green but ive read that doesn't always mean its a drake. This week I noticed his belly turning grey so im convinced hes maturing and getting...

I have a 4wk old Mallard that was attacked my its mother due to misdirected aggression due to the presence of another duck she was looking to attack and was unable to. Every time we take this little duckling out for exercise - other ducks try to attack him b/c he isn't their baby. He has also...

Hi! I have 3 pipped mallard eggs in my incubator and I think it is malfunctioning. I’ve successfully hatched multiple times in it - but this time it’s being wonky and won’t hold humidity or temp constant. I’m worried the eggs won’t make it. I have a Chinese goose sitting on a nest outside and...

This is my first time hatching Mallard duck eggs. One out of two of my eggs has already hatched and is perfectly healthy. But the other, I’m very uncertain! Candling him, I could see him moving on day 23. It is now day 26. There is no moving, no pipping, and no quacking. I did the float test and...

Hi everyone! Newbie here... who might become a duckling mom very soon. A few weeks ago, we found an egg washed ashore in the lake next to our house after an unexpected snow storm. (Before you're too shocked about the weather conditions, I live in Norway. May likes to pretend it's December...

We were sold this duck as a Rouen but she seems a lot more active than Rouens are usually and the place we got them at had mallards and rouens in the same box. She's also out smallest. Could she actually be a mallard? Edit: They're about 3 weeks old

I'm trying to find some information on when I can take my ducklings outside to stay in their pen. I live in Minnesota, it's currently chilly this week 50s during the day, 20-30 at night. But its supposed to warm up soon. I brought them home from L&M fleet on April 2, 2020, so they're about 6...

Fresh bedding after a nice swim outside 🦆 When did you move your ducklings outside? The recommended 6 week mark? Sooner or later? .. I'm in no rush to move them, my Mallards are really starting to get feathers now..(they are 1 week older then the pekins) the pekins feathers are slowing coming...

Just an update..........the 2 wild mallards that hatched are 1 week old today. I've attached a birthday photo. I think you can see the difference in sizes. But, the tiny one eats, sleeps and poops just fine. They have names......Remmy for the big guy and Razz for the little girl. Of course I...
