    Free day-old ducks

    My Rouen has hatched 13 babies. I plan to keep 2 so the rest need to go to a good home. These are pet ducks - not to be eaten. Also, you'd have to agree to provide a water source for swimming. A simple kiddie pool would be fine. They would have to be picked up (no shipping). I live near...

    Large and bantam ducks together???

    Has anyone kept large breed ducks suck as Cayugas or Rouens with call ducks or BEI's? I was thinking of getting some BEI's next spring but was worried that my larger ducks might injur them if they tried to breed them.

    soft-shelled duck eggs

    Anyone ever have a problem with a duck that layed soft-shelled eggs? I have 3 young girls and I think it is a young cayuga that is just starting to lay. Over the last 2-3 weeks I've been finding a soft-shelled egg laying around the barn every 3-4 days. I have a rouen that's been laying for about...

    I never thought I would see this...

    On Tuesday I was out at the barn. The ducks were all digging through the pile of manure/shavings. I suddenly noticed that they were all quacking very loudly. I went out to see what trouble they were getting into. They were all chasing the Roeun drake around. It looked like he had a large worm...

    Blue Cayuga Question

    I hatched some black cayugas, rouens, and a single blue cayuga at the same time. The rouen and black cayugas have their drake tail feathers but the blue cayuga doesn't. It's quack sounds just like the other males and it's as big as my rouen drake. Does anyone with experience with blue cayugas...

    ALL male flock of ducks???

    Has anyone ever had a flock of all male ducks? What are the pros/cons? I have 8 ducks and it looks like only 2 are going to be females. It would be easier to get rid of the 2 females than to try to get another 15 female ducks to get the male/female ratio right.

    Will new feathers grow?

    The water level was a little low in the duck pool and a couple of young ducks (maybe 6-8 wks old) got trapped in the pool with some of my older ducks. The older ducks killed one and pulled out all of the wing feathers and back feathers out of the other. Do you think the feathers will grow back?

    Curled up duck foot

    My 3 day old blue cayuga had been doing fine. This morning there were no problems but this afternnon he was lame. His right foot is curled up and he is not able to walk on it. I could not find an obvious broken bone. When I move the foot it does not seem to distress him. I splinted it. Any idea...

    OK guys. My ducklings have started hatching (3 days early). I now have 2 Rouen ducklings and 1 Cayuga duckling with 3 others pipping their shells and several others that I'm still waiting on. They will all be Rouens or Cayugas. I'm going to need some help with duck names! Any suggestions???

    How soon do newly hatched ducks start to eat and drink?

    I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I wasn't able to find the answer in a search. My ducks have began hatching (day 25). I thought I'd have a couple more days to research this question.
