    Need help with duckling ID

    Hi! Yes, I'm just outside of Albany. I may have found a home for the female but the Pekin, who is a drake, will need a home. Would you be interested in him?

    Need help with duckling ID

    Someone found these 2 ducklings in their backyard yesterday. Since there are no farms nearby we figure they were probably purchased at Tractor Supply and then dumped because they were getting big. We know the white one is a male Pekin. We're trying to ID the brown one. We were thinking maybe...

    Duck with crusty vent...

    One of my ducks is having an issue with her vent. I noticed it in February or March when I picked her up to check her over since her poop was completely liquid (no texture at all, just brown water) and she seemed to be going more often than she used to. She is eating normal, acting normal and...

    Molting Call Ducks - a question...

We have tested...

    Hova Bator Genesis- question about temps

    We just got our first hova bator genesis and we aren't sure what is going on with the temps. The digital readout says its pre-set to 100.0 and its been fluctuating between 99.3 and 99.7 which seems fine. But.... We also have 3 digital thermometers in there at egg level. 1 is reading 97...

    Magpie Call ducks.

    You could possibly get Magpies out of crossing the drake with the other hens but since Magpie is a pattern it's kind of a tricky thing to predict. You would probably get some whites, some bibbed, some pied and then some variation of white with colored spots (ancona patterns of sorts). If you are...

    Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

    Hi everyone! Not new to BYC but new to the call duck thread so thought I would introduce myself. My name is Tina and I live in upstate NY with my husband and 4 kids. We have had ducks in the past but decided to downsize to smaller ducks and start a project flock. We decided to work with magpies...
