    Fostered Duckies

    Hey everyone! Thanks for the feedback! I have the little guys separated, my Cayugas are all females and the 2 that were "mothers" abandoned them...I found them all off by themselves so I placed them in my brooder I used when I first got my Cayugas. They are doing so much better with the heatlamp...

    Fostered Duckies

    So I have 3 female Cayugas. A few weeks ago we found a mallard nest abandoned in the ditch while we were bailing hay. Just for fun we decided to place the eggs in with our ducks since 2 of them tend to go broody easily. Well, 5 of them hatched!!! Now I am wondering what to do with them. They are...

    How Do I Tie A Ducks Leg? And is it a good idea?

    I want to do that, but its a 4 hour drive to any other vet and they might not even treat ducks. My father (a long time farmer who has successfully treated many things) does agree that it is a pulled or sprained muscle. And he's the next best thing to a vet around here

    How Do I Tie A Ducks Leg? And is it a good idea?

    I called our local vet and they said there isn't anything they can do. They apparently don't know about ducks. Although they are suppose to cover poultry and small farm animals (sorry, very upset about it.) It doesn't seem to be broken. We thoroughly checked out the leg, we are able to touch and...

    How Do I Tie A Ducks Leg? And is it a good idea?

    So I have a year old Cayuga Duck that we are sure has pulled a muscle in her leg (how I have no idea, she is so clumsy anything could have happened). I have read that tying the leg up underneath is a way to help them heal. I think it would be a good idea, since she lays with her bad leg sprawled...

    HELP! DUCK INJURED!! :'(

    One of my cayuga ducks has gone lame, she was limping slightly but she never really showed much pain. She seemed to be getting better but this morning she barely moved, instead of rushing out of the hut in the morning she sat in the back corner and slowly made her way out. She was keeping...

    Keeping Ducks in the Winter

    I have 3 Cayuga ducks that are almost a year old. Last winter we kept them in the brooder room of our chicken coop, it is quite large. However, they left quite the mess and to keep the room from becoming soggy and nasty we had to clean it out weekly or twice weekly, and that was still not enough...

    Post "dumb" or afraid to ask questions here....with me!

    I have a few answers! 1) A fertilized egg is just an egg that is able to hatch a chick, the rooster has done his part and if the egg is kept warm and incubated either by a broody hen or an incubator then you might be able to hatch the chick. Some people think that fertilized eggs have more...
