    Line-breeding Warning! Hatching runner eggs from siblings led to in-shell deaths, deformities, and crested ducklings.

    Ruth, thank you so much for your thorough and thoughtful reply! I'm going to re-read it a few times to understand this situation more completely. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. 🥰

    Angel Wing?

    Hmm...I don't know much about Angel Wing. Those pin feathers do look a little strange coming in, but it might be completely normal. The diet you're feeding them sounds great. Hopefully someone with more experience might be able to help.

    Line-breeding Warning! Hatching runner eggs from siblings led to in-shell deaths, deformities, and crested ducklings.

    Disclaimer: I'm still a beginner when it comes to breeding ducks, and I have trouble wrapping my head around genetics. Almost two years ago, I received 5 sibling runner ducklings from a local backyard duck keeper. Four were males--we kept one female and one male. These ducklings grew into...

    Angel Wing?

    Can you post a photo of the two of them together? Your duckling looks normal to me, but others with more experience may have more info.

    Identification help

    So did they fly to your property? What part of the world do you live in? Also, what sounds do they make? They are gorgeous. Want. 😍

    Male to female ratio is totally off. What should I do?

    Well. This happened to us a couple years ago. We had five runner ducklings and four were males--they were over-mating my female and being total jerks. We ate three of them, problem solved.

    If that poof has been there since he was a duckling, he's likely a crested duck.

    Duck or Drake?

    Both the males and females cheep/peep. But when their voices change, the females start quacking whereas the males sound like croaking frogs. I played the video again, and unless you've got another mature duck sorta half-hearted quacking in the background, I am hearing tiny quacks at the tail-end...

    Runners lost quack, respiratory issue

    OP, how are your birds doing now? I treat my birds with colloidal silver spray (directly on their beaks, making sure to get it into their nostrils) any time I notice respiratory issues. It has worked well for me, and works quickly when it's the correct treatment. Seems to be the season for duck...

    6 wk old not thriving/bald areas

    I can't really tell from the photos, but is your duckling crested or is that poof on his head just some feathers that came in early? I have heard crested ducks may take longer to feather out. They are also prone to health issues. I have zero experience with them myself, but might be something to...

    My call ducks have the same illness... help

    With any respiratory issues, I've had great success with spraying colloidal silver directly onto my ducks'/ducklings' beaks, making sure to get it into their nostrils. 3-4x daily until symptoms resolve.
