    Duckling field trip-pics!

    I took the ducklings on their first "field trip" this past Friday. First they weren't sure how to react so everyone just huddled together and checked out their new surroundings. Left to right: Anastasia, Emrys, Saphira, Morgana and Lena. Then they discovered that I had put a water dish in...

    Ducklings are here! I have questions :)

    I picked the babies up about an hour ago. Everyone is doing great: eating, drinking, running around like little kids hyped up on caffeine and sugar!:wee Anastasia-the cayuga- is active but seems quieter than the rest (for today at least lol). So for the past days I've been searching for info...

    Ducklings arriving early

    Been a busy weekend so tonight is the first time in 3 or 4 days that I've had a chance to come to BYC. I finished up reading here awhile ago and for some reason decided to check on my duckling order. It still says they are due May 1-3 but it now has a tracking # and when I click on the tracking...

    Solved Posting time isn't correct

    I posted a thread-"1 boy, 2 girls? Video"- at approx 10:30/11 p.m.Thursday, April 19 but it's showing that I posted it at 7:38 pm. I'm not sure if it's a temporary glitch, a forum issue or Time Zone setting issue. I looked in my account but couldn't find anything about my time zone. Just for...

    Ducks: 1 boy, 2 girls? Video

    Hi all! Trying to figure out the sexes of my ducks. I'm going to attempt to post a video (and a pic) I took this afternoon so y'all can hear them. Excuse my feet being the first focus of the video-my hands and arms were full. Excuse their brown pool water-just hadn't cleaned it out yet...

    Question about duckling bedding

    Hey all! With the first 3 ducklings I used the bottom of a large dog house and lined it with shavings. I cleaned it out and changed bedding every 3 days. Worked okay but 1 week in and I realized they were making a mess because they splashed water everywhere. I found a solution that sorta helped...

    Klutzy ducks-my Pekins

    I completely understand that when you grow as fast as Pekins do, that you're bound to have a hard time figuring out how to balance all that weight and making your legs go where you want them to go but my Pekins crack me up. Saturday will make 4 wks that I've had my two Pekins and 1 Buff so...

    3 wks feels like FOREVER!

    I caved...bought more ducklings :)

    Hi all! Our 3 ducklings (TSC purchased) have been so much fun and I've worried over them just like they were kids. I really considered getting more ducklings but told myself I would wait til later on, like summer. I caved... We have some chickens (small breeds) but I hate the taste of their...

    Duck house ventilation-pics

    Hi all, So we started on the duck house today...it's not finished but I'm wondering if it has enough ventilation or too much? The open areas at the top are going to have chicken wire put over them. Do you think we need to add a few "windows" lower down that can be closed and opened as...

    Duckling on its back

    We got 3 ducklings a week & 1 day ago- my post: Ducklings-age, breed? Pics. I usually check on the ducklings ever few hrs to make sure they have plenty of water, aren't cold etc. Everything has been great up until about 30 mins ago. I kept having this feeling I needed to go into the room to...

    Ducklings-age, breed? Pics

    Hi! I've been a member since 2013 but rarely post-I read tons of the threads for chickens though. I've owned ducks 3 times in my life-once when I was a teen, once about 13 yrs ago-I had to re-home them when we moved (for their safety) and today I became a duck owner again :) We bought 3...

    Newbie with egg development/hatching concerns/questions

    I am not well educated in chicken terminology or the like, so my apologies if I mangle any terms or phrases. I also apologize if my post is too long- wasn't sure if any of the background info would help. I am chicken ignorant! My husband decided to get some chickens because he wanted fresh...
