That’s what I thought, but she’s only been like this for about a week. She’s 6 months old. Wouldn’t she start showing symptoms earlier?

She’s about 6 months, and we feed her adult duck food from tractor supply, occasional bread, and whatever else she finds in the pond when she’s swimming.

My female pekin duck has been acting weird lately. She’s able to swim just as she did before, but she’s unable to walk. When she tries to walk she constantly falls over and goes very slowly. She’s also missing a lot of feathers on her stomach. She has a male partner so at first we thought she...

Baby is here! What do I do now? What temp do I set the incubator? Does he look good?

Ok. Thank you so much!!

Awesome! Ours are being incubated but I’d like to leave them with Mom eventually

Wow! I didnt know that. Thank you!

Hello! It’s been about 30 days since I put this eeg and the incubator and now it is cracked open and we heard some chirping. Now the chirping has stopped and he has stopped trying to break through. It’s been cracked open for about 10 minutes. Should I help him? This is my first time so please...
