    Currently Hatching

    Congratulations. The longest I would suggest is 24 hours. However, if your brooder is a stable 95 degrees anytime would work.

    Does any one else have a small yard and have ducks?

    I have three adults, going to up the flock size 4-6 more that are ducklings now. That will max it out.

    Arizona Chickens

    I would not reuse at all. If it says you can not, then you can't. If someone from the DoA drops in to check it out, all they see if you're reusing a carton, slaps you with a fine. http://www.eggcartons.com/Blank-Paper-Egg-Cartons-s/1816.htm

    Duck fencing question

    It really depends on the ducks. I have Muscovies with big claws and they try to climb the fence when you approach them. With that said, I would say the stronger the better. Pekin won't do that as much so I would be willing to bet you can use the cloth. It all comes down to how safe and secure...

    ducklings dead under mother

    I'm not sure if she "smashed" them. I'd be willing to bet they have been dead for a while and are beginning to "deflate" which is part of the decomposing process. The ants may have been the first "scavengers" to find the remains this also indicating they have been there for a little while.

    Does any one else have a small yard and have ducks?

    I live in a subdivision and share block walls with two neighbors. The duck pen is about 8 x 8 feet, they have a coup and a water swimming tub. I chose Muscovy ducks because of my tight situation. They are great for the urban homesteader, quiet. Now that I have them I love them to death and I'm...

    Ducklings Keep Passing Away

    Brooder is around 90 under the heat lamp. Food and water is there. I thought about the fumes but I don't think the heat lamp is heating the plastic brooder bin enough to do that. I did purchase this: I'm planning to segregate the sick duckling and allow it to drink from a special cup with...

    Ducklings Keep Passing Away

    I had our Muscovy duck hatch 13 ducklings. I moved them into the brooder and over the last 12 hours I have lost three. I'm very concerned at this point and would love some community input. The ones that are passing away are lethargic, mostly stay under the heat lamp and slowly pass away. 1. Is...

    Muscovy Duck Egg Laying.

    I disagree. They taste the same as chicken eggs, they don't need to be cooked any special way. Your Muscovy will lay one egg per day, usually in the morning to equal around 15 to 25 eggs per cycle (about a month to a month in a half). Some lay year round while others do not. It depends on your...

    Deformed duck

    1. Was the duckling like that when you received him? 2. What have you been feeding him? 3. Where did she get him from?
