    Americana coloring?

    I have an EE chick that looked the same when I first brought her home. She's still not fully grown of course, but here is what she looks like now:

    Breed and Gender inquiries

    I have six chicks purchased from Tractor Supply. I am hoping someone can help me with determining gender on all of them, and also breed on two of them. <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/biknqs.jpg"> <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/15wktx0.jpg"> <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/34g4s1t.jpg">...

    HELP in deciding on a duck breed....SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM

    I would like to throw in that breeder plays a HUGE role in temperament. For instance, my runners from Holderread were beyond friendly, from the moment they arrived. A group of runners I hatched from eggs off of ebay came out of the egg nervous and alarmed. Of course, breeder plays a big role in...

    How do I decide which Drakes to Kill? How many is too many?

    What to select for depends a lot on what you're having them for. If you're wanting to breed for meat production, you would choose the heaviest, most feed-efficient ones to keep. If you just want pets, you choose the friendliest, prettiest ones to keep. If you want low maintenance lawn ornaments...

    Runner duck found dead with insides out.

    The insides on the outside may have nothing to do with cause of death, FYI. Intestines can be expelled if the pressure from the gasses that build up inside a body after death become too great. Icky, I know, but just wanted to let you know that it may not be a symptom.

    What happened to Shalom's bill? Bruise? *pic*

    Oh no problem Just be aware that it may be permanent. My duck's spot hasn't gone away

    Should I worry or is it normal?

    Do I just give him yogurt? Or do they sell them at pet stores/feed stores? (and if so, brand name?)

    Muscovy ducks now illegal to own. Actions duck lovers need to take.

    This makes me nervous. People keep muscovy for meat, pets, showing, etc. If they can take one species of our barnyard/backyard fowl, they can take any of them. There are plenty of other breeds of duck that can survive and reproduce in the wild. Will calls or Australian spotted ducks be next on...

    Should I worry or is it normal?

    My house duck who usually LOVES peaches and apples, the past two days has only taken a bite or two and then wants nothing more to do with them. This is the same duck who would eat a whole (chopped up) peach for breakfast and want more when he was done. Should I be worried that he is no longer...

    Who's the boss...you or the ducks?

    Well, my indoor duck rules the roost. He has the ability to get me to give him a bowl of MY food before I ever even get to taste it, the first thing I do when I wake up is chop up his fruits and veggies for his breakfast, I sleep in uncomfortable positions at night just so I don't disturb HIS...
