I raise ducks for show would like to introduce crested white and blacks will see though. I did find that the crest are skull deformitys but not the neurological damage done. When ducks breed the male hold on to the head / neck area .. This breed is in the APA and breeding are successful. All I...
Yes you have a suitable amount of hens to a drake ratio. There shouldn't be problems but if aggression is a factor then by almeans remove the drake. What consequence are you referring to?
It's bumble foot. It doesn't have to occur on the pad. Nor does the bump have a scab right away. Sometimes it's just forming. Keep soaking it for a few days to dry out the fluid inside . It should go flat. Or let it develop for a few days more and a scab should appear (though I would just start...
Some breeds are more skittish . Take it from me I have chickens but also waterfowl ... I have mallards that are very skittish and flighty.. But have calmed down a bit. It can take time but try putting them someplace where they can see the other chickens and those chickens can see them. But take...
Sometimes it the moisture .. If it's too high or too low. It depends on your area but if it's low then spray the eggs with room temp water and have the hen lay back On them. If it's too high then try gently cooling eggs then have hen lay on them.
Hi I have many types of waterfowl Pekins being one of them. You should bring them in at night because predators can get them. I've had the same problem at times and left them out...something got one. Mine were over a year old at the time. I found pieces of it in the yard..😔 and as foraging goes...
I really want a pair of snowy mallards for show to go along with my grey mallards. I live in Michigan but will be up in Tennessee this weekend also will be around Florida . Obviously I'm willing to drive or pay shipping . Anyone have any for sale?
I didn't see the second picture. Just the 1st and the way his neck was scrunched I thought it was hiding and with the dark lighting his color seemed dark like a rouens. Whoops.. Yea i would say male khaki instead after seeing second pic lol
The noise is contentment . Geese imprint very quickly when young. It's fine to imprint when you can spend all of your time with them like all of it!! But since your a student and that time may not be possible. Try to keep them someplace where they get to understand that they are geese and that...
Lol no they will fall off of not clamped that's is with the metal ones. They do have adjustable ones but I have to have mine so they cannot come off once on.
They're a month old now I only lost 3 out of 15 so yea.. He may be blind but he gets around really good now I try not to change things up on him too much so he doesnt get lost or walk into anything. But other wise really good
Yes but since he was a replacement for the 1st shipment that was dead when arrived 4 days later than supposed to arrive... There wasn't anything that they could do they aren't a bad hatchery I've ordered from them before and afterwords usually all the chicks good but I guess everyone has their...
