    Duckling Genetics

    Things got super busy for a bit and now they are starting to grow in their adult feathers so I wasn't able to grab any good pictures. We have 2 more clutches on the way now though, one from our last harlequin and one from our other rouen, so it'll be interesting to see what happens with them and...

    Duckling Genetics

    Last year my family bought 8 ducks. Supposedly they were 4 Welsh Harlequin and 4 Rouen. One of the Harlequins (maybe even 2?) we believe to be crossed based on their adult coloring. I'm guessing all 8 of the ducks probably have a little of each, because the drakes (both supposedly Rouen) are...

    The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

    Thank you so much for this list. I do have 1(or I guess 2) question though. If the only concerns with nuts are size and fat content, would left over Almond pulp from making almond milk be okay for my little guys? If so, what age would I be able to give it to them?

    Hi

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I got my first chickens about 11 years ago and my family has had a handful since then until a few months ago. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We don't have any anymore, but we're getting 7 ducklings in a day or two...
