    HELP!

    Hmm. She didn't pass anything other than the egg-like thing so I wouldn't think she ate anything. Thanks for sharing!

    HELP!

    Okay. Thank you for your help! She laid a mostly hard (one soft spot at the top) egg this morning.

    Duck breathes with his mouth open

    I would say he/she is hot based on your description but if you are worried about it being something else I would take the drive to the vet. Hopefully, someone else on here can be of a bit more help

    HELP!

    My around one year old female is breathing through her butt, drinking a lot, not eating, limping, trembling, and has fluffy butt feathers. She did not lay yesterday or today.

    how and when can you introduce baby ducks?

    Hi! You cannot introduce ducks until they are of mating age (for females, laying). So, you still have a while. As far as getting rid of ducks, I have read the ratio to be three female to one male or else over-mating can occur. Depending on the gender of your ducklings, this is a great...
