    Strange soft spot on duck egg

    Has anyone seen this before? The egg is hard shelled except for a small spot. It looks like tiny calcium deposits on the soft spot. I've been getting one egg like this a day for a while. My ducks are fed layer feed with free choice oyster shell.

    Puncture wound on duck's neck

    I already posted this the emergencies section and it was suggested I post here as well. My duck got super excited about green peas today and jumped up against a hardware cloth gate today. One of the tines got her in the neck about three inches under her bill and made about a half inch cut. It...

    Puncture wound on duck's neck!!!

    In a freak accident today, one of my runner ducks got too excited about green peas and jumped against a small gate made of hardware cloth. One of the tines caught her in the neck and she was stuck for a second or two. The wound is about 3 inches beneath her bill above her breast. It is maybe a...

    Near Statesville, NC, looking for home for fawn and white runner drake

    I'm looking for a good home for one of my fawn and white runner drakes. He's super cute and not aggressive, but I just have one too many males and not enough females. No injuries or illnesses, and eats well. They're kept in a big grassy yard, so no foot problems either. I can't really drive too...

    Just had my first hawk attack

    If I hadn't walked outside when I did I believe that I would have at least one dead or injured duck. It swooped down while they were in their pool and then landed in a tree. I heard the ducks make surprised noises and then I ran out into the yard and herded them into their covered run. When I...

    Looking forward to next Easter

    Is it sad that I'm looking forward to next Easter so I can expand my flock with Easter ducklings from the local park?

    My new duck yard

    I just fenced in an area in my back yard so my ducks could get some grass under their feet. Originally they were in my garden, but it was bare dirt and they started having bumblefoot issues because of the nut trees overhanging the garden (sharp shells fragments). I'm treating them for that now...

    Found a hopefully good home for one of my rescue ducklings

    I found some tiny ducklings at a pond right after Easter and the male of the group has been getting picked on by my older drake. Someone responded to the craigslist ad I had posted about rehoming him and he'll be gone tomorrow. I'm sad to see him go, but he'll be much happier not getting bullied...

    Statesville, NC, need to rehome male khaki campbell rescue duckling, 6 wks old

    I rescued some lonely ducklings from a local pond right after easter and the male of the group is getting picked on a bit by my older drake. I believe the duck is either khaki campbell or a khaki campbell mix. I'm pretty sure they originally came from TSC since that's the breed they had right...

    Hi from Statesville, NC

    I've been creeping around the forums for a few months without posting and figured I'd burn some time and do it now. My husband and I are waiting for sunset to go catch some abandoned and probably Easter gift khaki campbell ducklings from a local duck pond. They look to be about 2 weeks old. We...
