    Ducks trying to mate with Humans

    Well, she grabs the back of my hand and starts mating with my arm - like a male duck would do

    Ducks trying to mate with Humans

    A few months ago we hatched a female duck and she’s always been attached to me following me around and wanting to be picked up. Recently when I’ve been picking her up she’s been trying to mate with me. She’s in a flock with other ducks (male and female) so we’re not sure why she’s doing this. Is...

    Is this an Internal pip?

    We've tried not making a ventilation hole multiple times and it resulted in the duckling suffocating.

    Internal Pip?

    Does anyone know if this is an internal pip? The duckling has been quite lively and moving his egg around the incubator and then we saw this, is it an internal pip or just where he’s been pushing against it? p.s the hole in the egg is so it doesn’t suffocate

    Is this an Internal pip?

    Does anyone know if this is an internal pip at the bottom of the air sack? (Ignore the small ventilation hole in the egg, we made it so it wouldn’t suffocate)

    Call Duck Hatching

    What do you mean by their weight loss? And when you say D2-5 do you mean of them being in lockdown? We also haven't had one internally pip yet they always die beforehand.

    Call Duck Hatching

    Sadly not, the one I was talking about in this post sadly died and another two unfortunately followed after it. We're still trying though

    Embryos/Ducklings Dying late in incubation

    Ive already made a similar post to this and tried the feedback I got from there with unfortunately no success. We've been trying to hatch a duckling for nearly 3 months now and haven't managed to hatch one. The Ducklings/Embryos develop well and always look healthy inside of the egg. Yet, when...

    Duck Embryos Dying late in Incubation

    The ducks eat: Lettuce, Sunflower seeds, Pellets and Calcium/Protein coated mealworms and occasionally live worms (They don't have all of this every day most of the time its 1-2 times a week) . We've also tried fertile eggs from another flock which didn't live past day 10 I think. One of the...

    Call Duck Hatching

    Yeah, ive heard the same I know people say to help them with the external pip , I just feel like the internal pip shouldn't be taking this long especially with the amount of movement the duckling is putting in to try and pip.
