Thank you Amiga and Sassy,
I remembered that the other day my drake Pekin hopped on my runner duck and I walked in at the same time and they of course seperated and I looked down and there was a lil tiny egg size of a half dollar or so, but the egg was not soft shelled, just little. I was...
The last couple days I have had eggs that have soft,almost a leather texture, shell. I know that my ducks are getting the correct amount of Calcium and protien in their feed. I am wondering if it is one of my young 3.5mo. to almost 4mo. old Indian Runner females that are just starting to lay...

I JUST GOT MY FIRST EGG YESTERDAY!!! and SECOND EGG TODAY!! YEA! but im not sure to tell who is leaving me the gifts. Is it the Pekin or Khaki? How can you tell the difference? It is about the size of a ckn. egg and it is a cream in...

I'm not an expert, but it sounds as if she's doing okay if the bleeding stopped, she's eating, drinking, peeping, and pooping.
I had a duckling with a wing problem (it might have been broken). At...
My baby got his wing broke 3 days ago and she is drinking, eating, pooping and hangin with her buddy gos. her bone to her wing is exposed but lays under the wing, I have been doing all I can to treat her. I was just wondering how long it takes for infection to set in and see signs? Could she...

I don't think my lil girl is goin to make it. Her bone is sticking out her side with a gaping hole in her side. I am at a loss what to do because she is my baby gos. buddy. I don't know if I should go out and get another duck just for him for company in case she doesn't make it, or just...
