looking for some advice on a female pekin duck. she is a year old and has been sitting on her eggs quite a bit . She lays 2 eggs a day! How much time does a duck have to sit on them? Her male duck friend sits on them too . Should I remove them and start fresh as I dont know what eggs are older...
Is it okay to leave them in their coop all day??! Let them out for a while to eat and drink water of course and then put them back in so they're not out in the cold so all day? It's about 15° here They've it been outside through the day which is about 24 so but it's going to be much colder...
Sounds like none of you have any issues as far as eating duck eggs. my duck lays 2 eggs a day so we have lots!! Problem is that her eggs have been making us sick! any suggestions as to why?! I hate to be the case I want to be able to eat them some people just say some people are allergic to them! ?
Me and some of my family have gotten sick from our ducks eggsmakes me upset!! Not sure what to do. Trying to change her feed. It's upsetting Some people say that some people just can't handle them.... True?!
So I'm getting ready to get my duck house this week! by reading this it tells me I should not put food and water in the duck house and just use it for a place for them to sleep and stay away from predator!! agree?!
What do you all do when the ducks stay inside the duck house or Coop /doghouse at night?! because they poop so much!! do you have straw in there. How often do you clean that out? Daily? how do you keep it clean. That is what is damp! all the Pee and poop!! What are your suggestions
Can anyone tell me what to feed duck that is 7omths old laying 2 eggs a day?! and her eggs are making everyone sick. what am I doing wrong with her feed?! I'm giving her layer palettes?? She shares 2 cups a day with her other male duck?!
She's a pekin duck. Only 7 months old. She consistently lays 2 eggs just about every day. !! She's a smaller duck but happy go lucky! We just can't eat the eggs and I hate that! Seems like a waste. But most importantly I want her to be fine And i think she is so I'm not so close to a grain...
I have to keep the two ducks together they're inseparable. I can keep them inside but they really like to be outside. I just have to figure out her diet?!?
She doesn't really like the oyster shells. She's only been inside at night really with very little light this past week. (Only because the mAle was attacked last Saturday. He's fine but we're waiting for duck house to be completed). She is a small duck. Not an overeater. It's odd! She's happy...
So I posted the other day... Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to feed A female and male duck about six months old? I think my female is eating too much and she's laying two eggs a day which is not good for her. Should I be feeding her something besides the layer pellets? Any...
