I am looking for a pair of egyptian geese. My daughter and I have fallen in love with a wild pair at her grandmother's in Miami, and she would love to make it next years 4H project.
help! My peking finally went broodie. So the problem is that she is sitting in my neighbor's yard and I have no way to protect her there. I tried moving her nest, she is now ignoring those eggs and returned there to lay more eggs today. What do I do now?
i recently hatched about 30 eggs in 3 different batches. (They are all eggs from my 2 pekin and 1 peking drake. We've been hatching now for several months with about a 60% hatch rate.)
However the last few have had a jump in deaths, splayleg, and now this...
She also has splayleg to boot!

So I went put to collect my eggs this morning, and THIS is what we found...
Keep in mind, we have Peking Ducks and the one on the right is my usual collection.
i have a duckling that hatched at 7 am. It's 430 pm and he is still on his side under the heat lamp and even though she's try to stand she looks like she has a dried wing stuck with ick stuck to her side.
I moved her out of the hatcher because he didnt look like she was drying at all in the 70%...
Do any of you have any experience hatching twins? I have just candled my peking duck eggs, 9 Days in, and I was very surprised to see, not one, but TWO jumping embryos. I am not sure what, if ANYTHING, I need to do to make sure these guys hatch. Do they hatch earlier? Later?
I'm looking to buy some new additions to my flock and would like some input from those in the know. I'm looking for Cayuga, Crested, and Khaki Campbell Ducklings.
If you have any recommendations or any "steer clear off" locations, I will greatly appreciate the help.
Hi all, I just started my Compact Back Yard Farm, (lol, I only have 2 acres,) and acquired this pair. Problem is, I don't know what breed of duck they are. They were sold to me as Welch Harlequins, but my neighbor says they are Rouens. Do any of you know? Or am I way off?
They were...
