    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    I had a baby (so now I have three kids). We had ducklings and doubled our flock. Love this community but have been sooooo busy.

    Khaki sounds like she swollowed a squeak toy

    Hi all, one of my khaki girls has just (as in, in the last 30 min) started sounding like a squeak toy when she quacks. She looks fine, is alert and isn't stressed. I put her in our quarantine crate I figured I'd see if anyone might have any ideas as to what's up.

    Advise needed. Head stuck in fence = Swollen tongue and throat.

    We're a few hrs in and she can pull her tongue into her mouth now. I haven't seen her drink yet but she's stomping around and quacking occasionally. Shes usually a bit of a grump sohopefully she's on the mend.

    Cayuga tail curl

    I kind of suspected they might be later. It would be too much good luck to have 4 girls. Unfortunately between the 4 of them and the khaki Campbell's it's a little hard to tell who quacking what. Guess I'll just keep waiting.

    Cayuga tail curl

    Does anyone know if cayuga males develop their tail curl later than other breeds? I hatched 4 ducklings 3 months ago and I'm impatiently waiting to see what sex they all are. I'm sure I saw somewhere that drakes get their curls between 8-12 weeks but I can't seem to find that info again.

    Hello and thank you

    Yep. We've had +30 degrees (Celsius) and no rain for two weeks. The second the lids off the incubator it's bone dry. Update: Baby number 4 is doing great. Eating drinking and pooping a ton. The naval has receded and is nice and fluffy. I has lots of crusty gunk stuff in the down over one wing...

    Hello and thank you

    my biggest fear now is the navel gets infected. i think if we can avoid that we should be good.

    Hello and thank you

    once i replenish my flock i plan to let them hatch their own. I will definatley use the incubator again if i cant get my girls to sit or i need it. in a way its good because ive been able to identify what the issue was and how to prevent it happening again. I'm located in Vicotria Australia...
