I recently acquired a GQF Hatcher and everything is working great and I have already hatched one set of eggs out of it. My issue is: it came with the solid door and I would like to upgrade to the acrylic. I called GQF and they said that was not possible but I have seen many people on here...
I think this little guy is dead but I wanted to ask some experts first. This little guy was looking normal earlier today but about an hour ago I noticed its shell turning gray. I know that is not good so I took him out to examine. He had already externally pipped so I pulled back a little of the...
I have two duck eggs that seem to be in a race to see who will hatch first. Yesterday was Hatch Day and both externally pipped quickly and started zipping. Both are very talkative and were making good progress but one has stalled. It has somehow managed to get its entire beak through a hole in...
I am planning to use a permant leg band and zip tie combo system to keep track of my ducks but have a few questions...
With the butt end bands (or any other permanent leg band), at what age do you band them?

I am looking to buy Cayuga hatching eggs and I would also be interested in Welsh Harlequin eggs as well. They will need to be shipped to Arkansas. PM me if you have any for sale. Thanks!
I have a crested blue Swedish duck that I am pretty sure is a female. I would like to keep her to breed until I can get my drake to duck ratio better but I am wondering the likelihood that the crest will be present in her offspring. I don't care for the crested ducks but unfortunately she is...

I was hoping someone could help me identify these 2 geese. I bought then from Atwoods a few weeks ago and they were already about 3 weeks old then. These are my first geese and I keep them with my ducks and all seems well. Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello all! I am new to BYC and I was hoping someone could help me identify some ducks I bought at Atwoods. The salesperson said she didn't know the breeds because they just ordered assortments from Ideal.
Here's a picture of the group. I know the big white one is a Peking and I think the other...
