    Need help with duckling ID

    Someone found these 2 ducklings in their backyard yesterday. Since there are no farms nearby we figure they were probably purchased at Tractor Supply and then dumped because they were getting big. We know the white one is a male Pekin. We're trying to ID the brown one. We were thinking maybe...

    Duck with crusty vent...

    One of my ducks is having an issue with her vent. I noticed it in February or March when I picked her up to check her over since her poop was completely liquid (no texture at all, just brown water) and she seemed to be going more often than she used to. She is eating normal, acting normal and...

    Molting Call Ducks - a question...

    My magpie call ducks are currently molting. I haven't gotten any eggs out of them yet this spring so I'm a bit concerned. Everything I have read says that ducks molt after they are done laying for the season but they haven't laid yet. Is it safe to assume we won't be getting eggs from them this...

    White Call Duck Trio - NY

    We are selling our trio of white call ducks since they no longer fit into our breeding program. We were told by the breeder that the drake was a 2012 hatch, one female was a 2010 hatch and the other was a 2011 hatch. The females have been laying since the beginning of February. We have tested...

    Hova Bator Genesis- question about temps

    We just got our first hova bator genesis and we aren't sure what is going on with the temps. The digital readout says its pre-set to 100.0 and its been fluctuating between 99.3 and 99.7 which seems fine. But.... We also have 3 digital thermometers in there at egg level. 1 is reading 97...

    Possible outcomes in offspring?

    I feel like playing around with my breeding pens for the spring but genetics is not my strong suit. What would the possible resulting offspring of a black magpie crossed with a white be? This would be call ducks but I would think standard magpies and pekins would be about the same.

    Is there anything I can do....

    to encourage my chickens to accept the newest member of their flock? We got an old hen about 3 months ago from my cousin and my other chickens hate her. She is the sweetest chicken ever and is incredibly submissive so they bully her. They won't allow her to eat, to roost with them, nothing...

    Best antibiotic to prevent infection in wounds?

    My NH red hen has a hole about the size of a dime in diameter in her head/neck. I am pretty sure my rooster did it. We have her in a dog crate in the house now so she is safe and warm. I would like to start her on an antibiotic but I am not sure which one would be best. I would prefer something...

    Vacation Questions....

    DH and I are thinking about taking the kids to Disney next month but it would mean us being away for 9 days. My mother has offered to check on the birds once or twice while we are gone but she would rather not have to check on them every day. We were thinking about leaving the ducks and geese...

    Offloading extras?

    Ok, I didn't mean offloading necessarily but I can't think of a better way to word it. I am toying* with the idea of buying 30-45 assorted straight run ducklings from Sandhill Preservation because they have some interesting breeds and they only charge $1.85 each. You have to buy in quantities...

    What's the best indoor duck?

    I am giving up on my marriage. In doing so I have decided that having a flock of ducks along with 4 kids, dogs and taking care of the house is just going to be too much. I am thinking about having 1 indoor duck and putting it in diapers (have 2 kids in diapers, might just as well be changing a...

    12 Assorted Chicks - Pick Up Only - Capital District NY

    I am looking to rehome 12 assorted chicks, all approximately a week old. We bought them at TSC last weekend but the landlord doesn't want us to keep them (not sure why since she lets us have dogs, cats, rats, guineas and ducks but whatever...must just have something against chickens). Anyhow, I...
