    Sad Muscovy Drake???

    I have a male white Muscovy duck who lost his female companion. We had gotten the 2 of them at a very young age and once we realized that one was a male we knew we would have to get more females for him. We waited a while and last Thursday we got 2 female ducks slightly younger than my 2...

    I am hoping someone can help me identify these ducks. I got them from a shelter who did not have the ability to care for "farm" animals. When I first got them we figured they must have been pekin ducks or pekin cross ducks. My problem is that they are trying to fly and the smaller one has even...

    Whats with their heads?

    So my local shelter had called me to take 2 ducks that were malnourished and in very poor shape earlier this month. I have always helped with chickens, rats, dogs, and cats when they need a little extra help before they could be put up for adoption. BUT never ducks. So onto the question, I got...

    The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

    So I have 6 barnyard layers and 1 silkie born. However, 3 of my barn yard mix eggs are pipped at the wrong end, so my question, is there something I may have done, too hight of heat or low humidity, or anything that would have caused them to pip at the wrong end? or is it just a crap shoot ?

    The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

    OK I went on lockdown last night around 11pm and I already have a baby born, the baby looks good but WOW that seems really fast. Should I worry because the others do not seem to be too far behind.... After only 4 hatches I have gone from "hurry and be born" to "SLOW DOWN and take your time" LOL
