    Help! Cracked Duck Egg

    Hi all, I am in need of help. I have raised several ducklings now either hatched under mumma duck or surrogate chickens (when the ducks have walked off the nest). This year I only wanted to raise one or two (slight duckling addict and a growing flock of duckies). I had a couple of fertile...

    Aspergillosis?

    Hi there, Has anyone had any experience with this? I have a 7 week old Pekin who has laboured breathing and sometimes pants. I've noticed a change in her vocalisations in the last week too, and she no longer puts her head under her wing to sleep. She was in quite a small pen as a duckling...
