How can I tell if an egg is fertilized?
Yes I understand that. But I'm saying if she came across a drake unknown to me. Can't you visually check them? Holding them up to a light?- Deester

How can I tell if an egg is fertilized?
I've had ducks for about 5 years. Lots of fun and laughs. We'll for the first time ever one of my girls have been wondering off. After following her I found a nest at the time there was 5 eggs.

Golden Star Hybrid
I have had 3 Cayuga's. 2 died and I have one original one left, she is 2 years old. This spring I ordered 3 of the KC hybrids and another Cayuga. The KC should just about be getting ready to lay their first eggs. Personalities are different. Cayuga' seem much more relaxed....it could be that... -
small Cayuga

How long do ducks lay eggs?
No I don't think they are getting hidden as at one time they were and I'd see them go under a bush or the like. We watch them all the time. The one that died last week was laying for about a week. They were the same age. Things are settling down, and routines are coming into play... -

Duck vs. Chicken "eggs"
Question to all. I have ducks. This is the second year we own them. Last year they stopped laying in November. This year in October. I have forced lighting that comes on at 4 pm and goes off at 7:30 am. Same as last year. My question is that I was talking to someone and they said that... -

I wanna get ducks need info
I don't have chickens so don't know about mixing them. I have two Cayuga's. They are sweet very different personalities. Do a lot of holding early on so they don't mind being touched. I have a kiddie pool with a drain and pipe that works well if your not getting too many. This way I don't...
