So I have two females, both are laying. I assume one is laying every day to every other nice pretty hard shelled eggs. Then I’ve been having one that lays 1-2 thin shelled eggs daily. Why is she laying more than one, and why are then thin? I’m giving oyster shells and meal worms daily. But it...
I’m so excited that my girls laid their first eggs! I found 3 eggs today! Two were in their pool and one on the ground. One in the pool was very thin shelled, kinda soft. I’m guessing it’s the one girl who seems to be more timid. Do I just add chick grit to their food? What food do y’all use...
They are really beautiful!! My George is really beautiful too, he’d make some pretty babies. Maybe I’ll order some female of another breed. I really wanted khaki campbells or Cayuga or Ancona, so maybe I’ll just invest since now I know I enjoy the ducks.
They are pets but I really do want eggs, so having more females is preferable but one of the males I love a lot, he’s definitely the sweetest of my bunch!
I have the opposite problem. Anytime I let my ducks out of their enclosure they go straight to our koi pond and my husband doesn’t want them in there because he says they’ll kill all the expensive plants (fish are already dead thanks to water issues). So I try to keep them out. They love their...
I’d like to do that, just don’t know where or how. Hopefully someone can guide me. I do have a friend with a lot of land that might take the males and I can just get some females. I love one of my boys though, he’s my fave.
My husband is totally fine with eating them. I don’t think I can. I don’t mind eating duck, actually like it, but don’t want to eat my babies. I think I want to add two more females and maybe have no males. We bought at TS and didn’t know sex. I think I may order specific females next time...
My 4 pekins are almost 4m old and today is the first day I noticed drake feathers on two of my ducks. That ratio isn’t going to work. Do I rehome a male? How do I even go about doing that? I’m a first time duck mom and wanting to do right by them. I have them for eggs/pets, so my priority is...
Omg! I just fed my ducklings their first veggie treat of cucumbers and they’re obsessed! So freaking cute!!!!! Figured I’d let them make the biggest mess before cleaning their cage for the night!
