Hey y'all, I'm looking to re-home my 2 drakes(one Pekin and one khaki Campbell). Looking to give them away to a good home who isn't looking to eat them lol.

Re feather in time?
Hey everyone, Finally all my new ducklings are old enough to take the stress from mating off my less mobile duck. But she was over mated for a while and her feathers took a good bit of the burnt. Her wings are pretty bare and it's October. I was wondering if she would be able to feather up in... -
Drakes picky maters
It would seem that way and I'm not complaining since I don't want my little ones to get hurt. But I still wonder why they don't bother with my Rouen nearly as much and they are the same age as her. It's just odd ya know lol -

Thin shelled eggs from laying duck in coop with 11 week old ducklings
I will give that a shot, thank you! On a side note. A lot of their eggs are slightly mishaped, like just a little less symmetrical than they normally are. I'm not sure if it's just some stress because they just got the new flock mates or if it's from calcium issues. Everyone is happy and healthy... -
Thin shelled eggs from laying duck in coop with 11 week old ducklings
So I got quite the odd situation. I have one duck that lays eggs and they keep getting eaten. I am seeing that it's because the shells are thin and easily break. The flock as oyster shell and is getting Purina Duck feed. The logical answer in my thinking is to give them layer feed. The only... -
