Entry #1

The ones I have wouldnt be pure cayuga ducks but they look like the blue cayugas! I got them by crossing my Black Cayuga with my Silver Swedish. Next hatch I hope to get more of them they are so pretty. Waiting for one of them to lay eggs to see what color turns out!

Maybe a vet could help it but that leg has always been so stiff and unable to bend from its curled position. I tried working with it when he hatched but I felt I was only going to break his leg if I tried stretching it out. So I just accepted that he was like this and made accommodations for...

This little guy is two months old and is trying to get all of his feathers in. I saw that he has this random patch of brown like a khaki campbell and nowhere else. Anyone else have a duck with this type of color pattern? He is a Khaki Campell (mom)/ Black Cayuga (dad) cross. He was also hatched...

I also have some duck houses that are connected to a run that is completely covered in hardwire cloth. I would also bury some hardwire cloth along the fenceline for diggers. Havent had anything get in so far and my ducks always have the choice to be in the coop or in that run. I dont close them...

Sounds like a girl to me!

Awwww they are adorable! ❤️ Glad Joey got some friends!

Awwww! :love Definitely send more pics when he is all fluffed out!

Great! Looks like he is making good progress! Im guessing there are no plugs on your incubator to remove? Hopefully those two holes are enough. He is the only one in there so it should hopefully be enough. Duckling sounds are a great idea and would encourage him!

He can still get out! He pipped and is getting air so he will be fine he will be resting for a long time and absorbing the rest of his yolk at this time. You might need to help him out though in the end but give him time. I know with my wrong end pipper I had to help her out (looked exactly like...

Thats fine but I would kick it back up. To at least 65-75%. And have it at the higher end of that when it is hatch date. Hope you get that pip soon!

I saw an external pip around day 27- 28

Yeah some can be crazy early! That can be due to the incubator temperature being too high. They should externally pip 27th or 28th and then from there they may zip out that day or the next. One of mine even took three days till she was ready.
