    Can't reduce humidity

    I have two cayuga eggs in a bator and can't reduce the humidity. There is no water in the bator at all. I live in Texas and the humidity is high all the time. It fluctuates between mid 40s and mid 50s. They seem to be doing ok but if it gets too high near hatch time couldn't they drown? This is...

    My first incubator, could use some help

    We got a little giant incubator the other day. Trying to get the humidity under control. It's staying around 51%. Got a book and read some threads about temp and humidity. I watched some YouTube videos on how to candle and check eggs for life. We had eight eggs in nests and wanted to check how...

    Need a home for special needs duck

    I have a two week old Cayuga duckling with badly twisted legs. I've tryed taping them together since day one. His left leg is twisted all the way up in his hock. We don't have the money to take him to the Vet. I'm trying to find a home around the Houston area for him. We don't know what else to do.

    New born with spraddled legs

    We had our first egg hatch the other day. A little black Cayuga. Only it was stuck down in the corner of the nest. When I picked it up its legs were spread so far apart I almost cried. I brought it inside a used medical tape to bring the legs closer together. I'm keeping it a box with water and...

    White in front corners of eyes

    I have a Cayuga female with white in the front corner of both her eyes. Does anyone know what this is from. I'm afraid to take her to the vet because she is laying her first clutch of eggs.

    I have no knowledge of how to keep laying ducks. Please help!

    I have two female Cayuga and two male. Everyone said to get and read Storey's book on Ducks. So I did. It didn't tell me a lot of what I need to know. My mother in law had a couple duck eggs she put in her hens nest to hatch but had to wet them every day. That's how I found out a duck needs...

    Need advise on how to move a nest with eggs in it

    One of my Cayuga's is sitting on a nest outside by the pond. It's close to the fence and a fire ant mound. I want to move the eggs, 7 right now, into the coop but I'm afraid she will not sit on them in there. It's cool in the coop so I think a heat lamp may have to put in there till summer hits...

    Cayuga's first eggs?

    I think one of my cayuga ducks layer two eggs but they are white. This is thier first season as mature ducks. The eggs are outside instead of in the coop so I'm wondering if they belong to my ducks at all. Would a duck mess with another birds nest? I saw her go into the nest and move some twigs...

    What to do with ducks during a bad storm?

    I have a duck coop for them but is it enough. We get hurricanes here in east Texas. What should we do to protect them? I'm afraid they could be blown away. Should we put them in a large dog box and put them in the garage? We haven't had any bad storms since we got the ducks so I haven't really...

    Special needs duck

    I named him/her Little One because he (haven't sexed him yet) is half the size of the others. They all hatched at the same time. Little One at about four weeks old had a bad niacin deficiency making it impossible for him to stand or walk. I took him into the house and nursed, with the help of...

    Neurological problems

    My one duckling has been having problems for almost a week now. He is 4 weeks old. Most likely niacin dif. No one around here sells stuff for ducks and I can't find B3 or a pure niacin. I ordered brewers yeast but it's not here yet. How long until I see improvement and will it recover completely...

    Brewers Yeast???

    What is a good and not too expensive brewers yeast for my ducks? I found AniMed pure Brewers Yeast by the bucket. Are they good or should I buy the stuff for making beer? I'm new to animals other than dogs and cats so I'm going to be on here a lot. Please don't think I'm stupid, I'm just ignorant.

    Duckling keeps rolling onto it's back

    I got cayuga ducklings. They are 3 weeks old now. One of them was on his back yesterday evening flailing around trying to right it's self. I was told it was straddle leg. We tied the legs close enough for it to walk and it seemed to work. This morning it was on its back again. I thought maybe...
