    Sorry for the late post, but I wanted to make sure I saw a difference! We switched to a different feed and added nutritional yeast, instead of brewers. I cannot remember the exact differences (thanks memory loss) but it has helped! Little duck is not so little anymore and thriving!

    Injured Duckling? Dietary issues?

    Thank you! I switched to Mazuri Duckling and Gosling food. I am hoping that helps. I just feel so badly he cannot keep up with his sibling!

    Injured Duckling? Dietary issues?

    They don't! That is why I was a little confused. I was wondering if someone fell through the cracks and their was an accidental breeding. Who knows! My drake is the sweetest either way I'm happy duck owner.

    Trying to figure out duck breed..

    My sweet ducks were purchased last spring from the Cayuga duck bin at a local Tractor Supply. I know that ducks can be pet quality etc. But I have a feeling my male is not full Cayuga. I mean, maybe? These are my first ducks! I am hatching there ducklings are black, black footed (so far), and...

    Duck genetics, selling ducklings

    Hello There! I have multiple questions and I am not sure where else to look! I can find plenty of information on chicken genetics but not as much on ducks.
