So here in my area in Indiana, we just had our first significant snow last night. I went to let the ducks out of the pin earlier & there was an egg. I have no idea what to do with it. I was told they most likely wouldn't lay until spring because they recently matured. Apparently that was bad...

If you have any videos, please share! They are starting to sound more duck & less duckling so I'm interested!

Follow up question... "honking" means lady duck, right? I was pretty convinced my pekin was a girl this morning when she woke up honking. But after reading some threads, I'm not so sure. Some are saying boys honk, girls quack. I though girls were loud & boys had a softer, raspier sound? Based on...

Yes, they are already very fun! I'm pretty excited they will breed! I wasn't planning on a bunch of duck babies but I'm looking forward to it! Do I just let the ducks do their thing or do I need to take the eggs & put them in a warmer? I'm assuming the ducks will care for them since they were...

I have 5 ducklings of 5 different breeds. Pekin, mallard, cayuga, welsh harlequin & khali campbell. My harlequin is a female but I'm not sure about the others. Assuming I have a mix of males & females, I'm curious to know if I should expect eggs? And if so, do mixed breed ducklings do ok? I...

He's still not acting sick or anything! And his poop looks more normal! Is it possible he's just small? Dwarf duck? Lol

Still small! Haha But seriously, his poop seems to be thickening up a little but it still seems like he's straining a bit. And it still strings & sticks to him

Thank you! I feel bad doing it because he hates it but I can't just leave him like that! They are currently on meatbird & chick starter-grower. My local Rural King doesn't carry duck starter-grower even though they sell ducklings??? But I'm making a trip to Tractor Supply tomorrow because I'm...

Also attached is a picture of the poop. It actually had some substance this time but you can still see the mucous stuff around the sides & it is stringy up to his fluff. Which is probably why he keeps getting poop & gunk stuck to his rear. He's mostly bald around his exit from the nastiness. I'm...

I cleaned him off right after I took that picture. He was not a fan! It seems irritated. He pooped out some more of the white foamy stuff right after. I don't think he seems bloated but he does look a little "puckered" if you get what I mean.

Looks unclean or unhealthy to me. It attempted to poop as I picked it up. All the other ducks look clean down there.

I just took a picture of his rear but I'm not sure if I should post or not? This is my first thread so I'm not sure how much is appropriate. It looks much different than the others.

I haven't noticed any runny eyes or nostril leakage.

I don't currently have a picture. I can try to get one though. I clean out their tote every morning & every evening. As of 3 days ago, they are mostly in the backyard while I'm home, fully supervised. Here's a picture I just took of the size difference. The others always seem to be protecting...

I have a little mini scale somewhere. Not sure if I can use that if I can find it? Which part wasn't normal? The size, the poop or both?
