Black copper maran roo?
I've been thinking I have two roos. The black laced wyandotte is pretty aggressive and probably going to get removed if he doesn't knock it off soon. But my BCM (I think that's the breed..) acts very calm and sweet. The comb and waddles make me think roo but I'm wondering if anyone has a better...- SeraJoy

Sick duck?
Don't they have to lay them before they hatch them? Maybe I don't understand the term. Both hens were laying eggs but this one would try to hatch hers (sitting on them all day unless I picked them up..i thought that was brooding) but I don't want that so I was picking them up daily. Now we only... -
Sick duck?
I have two hens and one drake. They are just over a year old. For a while we were getting two eggs a day, then the hen that was broody stopped laying eggs, but continued to sit on her nest nearly all day. Occasionally we'd see her out in the yard for a few minutes but mostly she stayed on her... -
Broody duck?
Ok this is my first year with grown ducks. I have two females and one drake. One of the females have been laying a couple eggs daily for the last couple months but lately she's been sitting on the nest in the morning instead of up running around, when I open the coop she jumps up and is with the... -

Duck mating, help!
So I'm new to ducks, have two black Swedish ducks and one blue Swedish. They are about four months old and the male is definitely trying to start mating. They particularly like to do so in the pool but I haven't seen that they have actually mated yet just ritual type stuff. But today he did... -
What kind of ducks do I have??
Ok, clearly I need to research that, I just assumed you only eat the unfertilized eggs -
What kind of ducks do I have??
So, I started doing some research and I'm thinking my blue Swedish might be a drake. He has a darker head and a tint of green on his bill. Too young to have the curly feather yet so I'm not positive. How longer before they start to mate? I really don't want ducklings, only eggs to eat so I'll... -
What kind of ducks do I have??
Yes, they are just over 8 weeks! I'm in southern Oregon, not terribly cold winters but it still gets chilly around October/November. Can I encourage laying during winter with a heat lamp in their house? And thanks for the great info! I did all my research on khakis and now I'm gonna have to... -
What kind of ducks do I have??
So we paid for khaki campbells at our local grange. I didn't think they looked right but figured I didn't know as much as the girl there so didn't argue when she picked these cuties out for us. But now they are fully feathered, they really don't look anything like khakis! So my question is, what... -
Skittish ducklings
Lol good to know! I've seen you tube videos of ducks this age just loving their owner and it made me sad. Those ducks were also inside, that may make a difference. We will keep it up and hope they get over it soon, thanks! -

Skittish ducklings
Honestly I'm not sure how old they are exactly, they were itty bitty little guys when we got them, I'm guessing about 4 weeks old. Just starting to get some feathers on them. When they are outside I do try to just sit next to the cage and talk to them. I'll try doing that more and hand feed them...
