    Help! Muscovy Drake Ill!

    Someone please help! I have any array of different ducks and a couple turkeys that all live together, so I'll give a summary as best I can of what I have and their situation. Saturday, my husband noticed scabs on our Muscovy drake, but didn't think to tell me. Yesterday, I saw them in the...

    Ducks have long white feathers

    Hi. My female Rouen ducks have turned from a nice brown/tan color to a light tan with the edges of their feathers having white. The white feathers are also longer and do a criss-cross on their backs. I noticed this last fall in just one of them, and she was a mother of a large brood, so I...

    Allergic to Duck Eggs...What about other eggs?

    Hi, We have started getting our duck eggs again this year, which is really nice for my son and friends who love them! Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to them, so have not been able to use them as much as I had hoped. We got a turkey hen in the last few months and she just started...

    Update on our Two Ducks: One Nest

    Thought I'd update on our ducks here, as no one seemed to have our situation with two ducks sitting on the same nest. We had two rouens sitting together and switching spots. At one point they did separate nests, but that only lasted a few days. By hatch day, they were back sharing. And in the...

    New Feather Growth

    I'm wondering how long it takes for new feathers to grow back in? Our mama duck who's sitting now had a bare neck from being pestered so bad by the drakes. Around the end of April she started sitting and the guys left her alone except to chase her when she came out (she won't stop quacking the...

    Two Ducks Sitting on One Nest?

    One of our ducks went broody around the end of April, and I stopped gathering the eggs in her nest. Within a couple days, MANY other of our ducks were laying in that nest too. In 6-7 days she was sitting 22 eggs!!! I read around and learned to number the eggs and take the newest ones out. So I...

    Feeding Laying Ducks- A DECISION!!

    Hi, We have laying ducks right now, and we are feeding them a laying pellet and cracked corn. We do not have much market or use for ALL THESE EGGS! I'm wondering if we stop feeding them the laying pellet if they would stop laying, or lay less? We are getting 5-7 a day, and can only use 1-4 a...

    What is normal for duck eggs?

    We've been getting eggs for about a month now. We're eating them and all was fine. Now the last two times that I've eaten them, I've gotten very sick! What we're doing: When they are cracked from being frozen, we either throw them in the garden or give them to the outside cats. My hubby read...

    How many Drakes to How many Ducks?

    Hi, We have 8 ducks and 5 drakes. I know that is too many drakes, and they are just starting to fight. I'm watching to see who is going to be the leader and who isn't. I'm wondering how many we should keep or how many we should get rid of? Thanks!

    Are My Ducks Sick?

    The last few days, they have not been roaming about or eating bugs. We did just have a weather change, so I thought it was that. But now today, they didn't drink much water (they are not panting) and did not eat all their food. I feed them pellets and corn. We are just finishing up a bag of...

    Brass Automatic Water Cups

    Hi, I'm new here, and we don't quite have the ducks yet. Our fence should be showing up this week. We are hoping to free range during the day, after a week or so for them to get used to their new home. I'm also wondering how they do with cats; is that going to be a problem? I was looking for a...
