hey guys, so I have been looking for a cayuga duck for a while now and I finally saw a post for some 2 week old babies. I have 9 muscovy ducklings 2.5 weeks old. so my question is do you think if I bought 2 ducklings I could put them in with my muscovy ducklings? any tips?

hey guys so I recently discovered a mixed breed bird called the favacauna. I am wondering if it matters who is who for the parents? I have a Faverolle rooster and americauna hens

yes he was

hey guys my Muscovy pair hatched their eggs 4 days ago. We were planning on keeping them all together but we ended up having to move our drake away from them. So what should we do? Should we get him another girl? We don’t want to separate mom from her babies bc she is doing really great with...

I plan on getting an incubator to know for sure but I cracked an egg the other night and am pretty certain it was fertile. I have tried both hay and shavings and both are about the same for them.

I have really messy ducks she likes to bury her eggs so they always have caked up dirt on them by the time I go to collect how do I clean them off without washing them?

Hey guys just wondering about care for fertile duck eggs. I’ve got a Kahki pair and I believe her eggs are now fertile. If I were to save eggs to make a dozen to maybe sell as hatchable eggs, how do I store them until I have the full dozen?

Candled my muscovy eggs today and we’ve got development!! Yay! So excited for babies!

2! Feom our khaki girls! Our other girl, a muscovy has her nest right now and is broody!

Yeah they all had shells they all looked completely normal

Not possible I went in 1 day and collected 5 eggs, all of the ones they had laid in their little nest they build and I came in the next day there were 5 more.

Hey y’all I’ve got a khaki Campbell hen and a khaki/Cayuga/apple yard mix just the 2 are together. I went out to check on them and there was 5 eggs!! Is this normal?

Yes she is still laying. she’s only been sitting really consistently and most of the day for maybe 3 days now

Yes she is still laying. I mean tomorrow will be her 16th egg should I just start taking the newer eggs that she is laying. I have never candled an egg but I am familiar with what it is. When should I do that? I just really don’t want her to stop sitting because I’ve messed with her eggs.
