I live where it's cold, and was told not to let her get to warm... Is that the case? I have her in the dog crate in the garage with a towel and a big thing of water. I'm scared to death to look at it . There's another female that got it too she won't stand up but I can't really see where she's...
Just came home, to find my favorite duck has been injured by something or other....she has a fairly large cut on her chest, that seems to have stopped bleeding, however is breathing heavily. She's drinking and when I just went to check on her was standing in her water dish, but sounds horrible...
Hello everyone
I hatched a white layer duck myself and you tubed how to vent sex...from what I can tell it's a female. I just bought a couple call babies of the same age of around two to three weeks old, and I took them all outside today in their play yard and noticed the three new ones which...
I just checked her food and it says under the ingredients "niacin supplement" but under the guaranteed analysis it doesn't say anything about it...it's apparently for chicks ducklings and goslings....do you suppose she needs an additional supplement or that feed is fine
Do they put weight on it if it were broken or dislocated or something I know nothing about lol....do you think it could be the scratch and bruise that's casing her to limp?
I have read that article it's a great start! I've been a bit of a research junkie as my ducks are amazing. I feel like they are just like my kids the most innocuous things quickly become lethal I try my best but unfortunately the duckling just happened to be in huge wrong place at the wrong...
Hello everyone so I have a white layer duck that chases my son all over the house however my son is one and doesn't walk overly well and fell on my five day old duckling (ahhhhhh! Fortunately it wasn't full weight ) this is my first duck so I'm not sure if I should do anything for her...it seems...
I've been letting her take a couple dips a day and she paddles around well using it on occasion but not as much as the other. I'll give the epsome salts a go I feel so bad I feel like such a bad duck mom right now :/

Hey everyone! So I started with four eggs, I had one hatch last night but the other three are all wiggling inside if I shine a light through but none are wiggling like the one who hatched did. I'm now on day 30 (they're white layers so I think 28 days is the norm) should I start helping them or...
So I have never hatched any eggs and did some research and decided to hatch my duck eggs in a homemade incubator, however we are currently in the season transition so my house temps are fluctuating a lot which made it hard to get the homemade one to work well, so I just bought a mini advance...
So you'll I not be worried that none have internally pipped at all? How would I know if the air sac was too big? I had the humidity in the vacinity of 35 the whole time and it looked like the pics I had seen online so idk there's so much contradicting info!
Hi everyone
I'm new to incubating and have five eggs. I'm on day 27 not including the day I set them, and I'm kinda worried...two don't seem to be moving and the other three move when I shine a light through the side but are certainly not rocking like I've been seeing on YouTube lol I wasn't...
