    Ducklings hatching

    i feed my ducks all flock pellets. It's for ducks over 8 weeks old. They are free range so they also eat whatever they find. Do I need to provide duckling food for the duckling or will the mother take care of that?

    Ducklings hatching

    Well I started with 10 eggs and have seen 3 laying in around the nest cracked open but not eaten. The eggs aren't empty so I don't think they are being eaten. As for the other 2 eggs that dissapeared I don't know where they went.

    So my pekin has been sitting on a nest for a while now. She started with 10 eggs and they have slowly dissapeared. tonight one of the eggs was hatched and a duckling was laying in the nest.

    Dead duckling

    So my pekin went broody, she has been sitting on eggs since the end of May. This afternoon I found an egg, about 10 feet out of the nest cracked open with a little dead duckling laying in it.

    Duck nest

    My pekin has a nest of 6 eggs and has had 6 eggs in it for 3 days. She has not laid anymore eggs in the nest but is not sitting on the nest either.. Is she just not wanting to hatch ducklings right now or what?

    They are free range during days, at night is the only time they are in there. I'm planning on getting khaki Campbell's for laying. Right now I have 3 pekins. They have a 1/4 acre pond 30 yards from their house. The only time my ducks now spend in the house during the day was during the winter to...

    Size

    I have a duck house that I had 7 ducks in last spring, it is 4x6 ft and 5 feet tall. I have 3 ducks left currently living in it. I want to get 10 ducks but am worried that this is too small for all 13 ducks. Thoughts?

    What are these?

    I think this is a khaki Campbell but am by no means certain, and again have no idea what gender it is

    What are these?

    I have 7 ducks that are about 9 weeks old. I don't know if they are boys or girls I think this is a mallard but could very likely be wrong. I also have no idea if it's a boy or girl.

    Ducks won't come to their house at night

    I have 7 ducks that are about 2 months old and I recently let them go free range during the days. They love the pond that is about 30 yards from their house. The first day they did perfectly fine and at sunset I walked them back to their house and shut them up for the night. The next morning I...
