    Mystery Duck (Possible Ancona or mix??)

    @Amiga Thanks again for your helpful suggestions. I brought her inside for a warm bath, inspected her gland, and was able to feel the oil. In the days since her warm bath, and the feeding recommendations, she has improved so much. We are still keeping a close eye on her though. Our setup for...

    Mystery Duck (Possible Ancona or mix??)

    Thank you for your input as well. With the lacing on her chest, as well as the beetle sheen on her back beneath her wings and on her head, I'm wondering if she's *something* crossed with a Rouen. She's not as deep-bodied as a Rouen. And I'm even starting to wonder if she's a she. Because she is...

    Mystery Duck (Possible Ancona or mix??)

    Thank you so much for responding!! I see a bit of runner in her also, though not at all in her general stance. Our mixed flock has runners from 2 different sources.... and her stance and stature is no where near as tall and slender as the ducklings we brooded, yet closer to our inherited...

    *~*Runner Duck Club*~*

    Just wanted to share our babies with everyone here. The amount of information here seriously rivals Mr. Holderread's book. So, a big thank you to all who post on the Duck Forum. :) We have 3 adult Runners, 2 drakes and 1duck, as well as a Pekin duck. We have been brooding these 7 Runners to...

    Anyone have pics of duck eggs vs chicken eggs?

    We are new to all things chickens/ducks and have an adopted flock. So the only real facts I can give about these photos are: 1) this container is from store-bought eggs, considered "large"; 2) none of the eggs pictured are store-bought: they are all from our flock of adopted birds, and...

    Inherited a flock of assorted chickens and ducks. . . HOOKED!

    I've been lurking, reading, reading, reading and trying to learn. Reading, sharing with the rest of my family. Long story short. . . Neighbor needed to move, offered up their birds. We took them. With no prior bird/chicken/duck experience at all. And we were in a bit of a rush to get...
