    Duck throwing out eggs

    Before, I made a thread about how I kept finding eggs outside of my broody hens' nest. I still am. Every morning and evening, I'll go out to find an eggshell in their water. Sometimes there will be a cracked egg with nothing but yellow, grit-like goop inside of it. I've been candling the eggs...

    How do you know if ducklings have hatched

    I checked under mamas, and there were no ducklings. This evening there was another cracked egg outside of their nest. It had that same grit-like yellow gunk inside of it. No dead babies, no veins, nothin'. What do y'all suppose is happening to these eggs?

    New duck owner with questions.

    *Winces* Ouch! I just read this thread and comments, and that pen is no place for ducks. It'll burn their feet, it'll cause bumblefoot (which is fatal), but the biggest problem is that ducks are messy. I saw that video posted by noa57 and I think it's a great idea. But. Ducks are still very...

    How do you know if ducklings have hatched

    One of the eggs was totally empty. The other one had grit-like yellow gunk in it. That's literally all that was in there. I'd think that the babies had hatched, but there's no peeping coming from the nest.

    How do you know if ducklings have hatched

    So, this is my first time letting my hens do all the work with incubating. It's day 28 that my two girls have been sitting on their eggs, and this morning I went out to find that there were two egg shells in their coop. One was in the back corner, and the other was in their water bowl. The one...

    Catching ducks

    You'd know if they were released. They'd wouldn't be able to fly, you'd be able to catch them, and they wouldn't seem feral if they were domesticated. I haven't seen these birds, but chances are that they belong where they're at.

    Hello! New to ducklings anyone have any advice on the following

    They look, and sound, like healthy ducklings to me. I've raised many batches of these guys, and, from the looks of it, yours are healthy. Their breathing is normal for a duck.

    Catching ducks

    You should NEVER take ducks out of the wild!!! If you want a mallard to show, heck, go buy one!!! These ducks are wild, flying creatures. They shouldn't be disturbed! Also, it's very illegal.
