    Aggressive drake to new ducks??

    I have an 11 month old runnerXwelsh drake (Seth) and a runnerXpekin duck (Pippin). Because he's such a serial killer dad and she was determined on being a mother I decided to get a few more girls to add to our flock for when we had to separate them so she could raise her babies in peace. (He...

    What breed is this?

    That was the only photo provided unfortunately. My friend is considering buying it and asked me if it was what it's advertised as- a black east indie x blue Swedish. Photos on Google tell me it's not but I thought I might pop the pic up here and see if anyone could tell me what it could be...

    how soon after hatching should you put ducklings in the brooder?

    We have 7 days till hatch day. It is the coldest spring we have ever had- and to prove this, in a state where we dont get snow, like ever- it has actually snowed in some places. All of September was basically gale force winds and angry rain, and October is looking pretty similar unfortunately...

    Duck eggs going bad? first time hatching and need advice.

    Howdy! I was able to get out there one night and have another look- they're developing quite well i think? Super veiny and theres shapes moving around in them. Unfortunately out of 15 i have 6 left :( something took 5 of them and 4 just didnt develop or they died early i think. I took these on...

    Duck eggs going bad? first time hatching and need advice.

    I really need to get a better torch with a more direct beam I think, or a better camera. I tried to take a photo in the dark but you can't see the veins, and the jiggly dot is only just visible. I've drawn an arrow to point it out though aha

    Duck eggs going bad? first time hatching and need advice.

    So I just checked again while it's dark out and the black part is all veiny and there's a little dark dot amongst the veins that kinda jiggles around a bit?

    Duck eggs going bad? first time hatching and need advice.

    It's really strange isn't it?? I mean do they look like this later on, is it possible that I've just miscalculated how long she's been sitting on them?

    Duck eggs going bad? first time hatching and need advice.

    I've checked again (it's really hard to get out there when it's dark unfortunately) and for some reason there are eggs missing now, she's gone down from 15 to 12 and they're just gone, they aren't in the shed anywhere. I was able to take some pictures today, and I checked all of the eggs...

    Duck eggs going bad? first time hatching and need advice.

    So our pekin has been sitting full time for about 4/5 days on 15 eggs. My partner decided to candle them today and mentioned that some of them are going dark? I came in and had a look myself, and its really hard to explain what it looks like.. I'm assuming the air sac is the white circle at the...

    Is my duck sick??

    You know what, I just went outside and couldn't find her, checked the nest and Lo and behold, she's sitting. Now I hope she just stays there haha..

    Is my duck sick??

    We do have a drake and she's sounding just like your Romy, but shes not preening like that, she just sort of makes herself look like a puff ball, like when they get out of the water and they fluff up? It's really hard to explain haha sorry, sometimes shes just standing there fluffed up and then...

    Is my duck sick??

    I can't post a pic at the moment as its dark out but I'll get one in the morning first thing. She's roughly 8/9 months old, and she has 3 buckets outside in the yard plus her paddle pool and she has another bucket of water inside the coop so there's plenty of water for her to wash her face in...
