    Pleaae help with splinting a ducklings foot.

    Hi,this little duckling took ages to hatch and has come out with one foot pointed at the wrong angle. He's a day old so I want to correct this while he's still got young bones. I'm not sure how to go about moving his ankle to the right position? I've made shoes for a grown duck before but not...

    29th day Incubation (Pekin), internal pip but no sign of external. Please help.

    Hi all, I put 5 eggs in my incubator on the 13th of March at about 1pm. It is now day 29, and all the eggs were fertile and after candling look like they have internally pipped. The temperature is set at 37.2, the humidity is 80%. When I tapped the air sack, 3 of them sounded like they were...

    Question about white liquid when laying.

    Hi. So I just went to collect my ducks egg and it was covered and surrounded in white milky liquid. There was quite a lot of it and i've never seen it before. It looks like the same stuff that comes out before she mates but there is loads. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks.

    probably been asked before but a question about introducing duckling to adult duck.

    Hi! So recently my drake was killed, its getting to the stage where my lady duck can be let outside again and we have some ducklings ready to hatch on the tenth of April. Obviously they won't be outside for a while, but when they get to the age when they can be outside how will my lady pekin...

    Ducks attacked by dog

    Hi, My 9 month old babies were attacked today by a dog that got into our garden from a hole in the neighbours fence. My drake runner was so badly injured (could see his neck bone) we took him to the vet hospital to be put down. My lovely lady Pekin has wounds on her back and tummy and other...

    Pekin duck beak colour.

    Hi, I've got a 7 month old pekin who is has been laying every day for over a month now. Really healthy eggs, good size shape and shell. I've noticed that her normally bright orange beak is going pale, almost white at the end? I don't know if there is something she's not getting food wise. Does...

    My duck laid her first egg 3 days ago, now she's acting differently.

    Hi! The other day I had an idea to put a chicken egg in with my duck who is around 6 months old to see if it inspired her to lay. Turns out it did, as two days later she had laid an egg of her own. Her eggs are really well formed, hard shell and good shape (and very tasty), and she has laid for...

    What colour/breed is my duck?

    Hi! I have had Pweeter, my male runner for 6 months. I got him originally thinking he was going to be a black runner, then he started getting baby mallard colours before moulting and turning into this beauty: http://puu.sh/4YyUo.jpg I was wondering what colouring this was, he looks like a...

    Picking up my female Aylesbury

    Hello, I read somewhere on the internet (not always the best source of information, ironic considering where I'm asking this question :p) that you have to pick up female ducks in a certain way as to not break their eggs inside them. I haven't read it anywhere else though, but I want to be...

    Long shot, but does anyone here know about moving ducks from France to the UK?

    I have two ducks, about 3 months old, a drake and a duck. They are lovely together. My boyfriend just moved from France to live with me, he had two Muscovy females (about 4 months old) that he left behind in his parents care. His mum was lazy, didn't really give a **** about them and left the...

    Duck newbie here. Question about my duck's odd (but probably normal) behaviour.

    Hello! I have two ducks, a drake Indian Runner called Pweeter (he has a husky voice and curly tail) and a female (I think, as she has proper quacks) Aylesbury mixed with something else that I'm not too sure of called Chicken. They are about 3 months old. My drake is very friendly and silly...
