So this morning I woke up and the power had run out, the eggs were cold but i managed to warm them myself until the power got back on, im not sure if theyre still alive though. There are many veins in the eggs but on one of the eggs the duckling doesnt seem to be moving much if at all (im on day...
Hey, im new to candling eggs as it is the first time my runner duck is broody! Im not sure how long shes been sitting on them now, my closest guess is at least 10 days.
I used my phones flashlight, i could see an air cell on every egg and they all looked healthy (wasnt detached) except for...
This morning i decided to candle my ducks eggs since she had been sitting on them for a long time (im not aware how long exactly but my guess is around 2 weeks), she turned a year old a month ago. We have two drakes as well so I know the eggs are most likely fertilised but when candling a couple...
I have 4 runner ducks, theyre 2 months old and one of them (we think is female) has been occasionally quacking really loudly in a row then being quiet, kind of like shes calling? She has access to food, water and shelter so i dont know what it could be.. im scared theres something wrong with her...
So i got two runner ducklings to go with the rest of my 12 day old runner ducklings (theyre the same age), but one of them opens their mouth when i put my hand near her? Like shes trying to hiss or something and her beak kind of chatters and shakes when my hand is any where near her. She also...
So i have 4 runner ducklings, 3 of which allow me to pick them up, theyre all calm on my lap but they nibble at my fingers a LOT, why do they do this? Do they hate me? :(
So i got 2 new ducklings today, im not sure about one of their breeds? Sorry for the bad quality pictures. He doesnt like to be picked up and he wont stay still haha :) [/IMG]
Im very scared, i was about to go to bed and i looked over to the ducklings brooder and one of them was opening and closing his mouth quite fast. He seemed relaxed, he was falling asleep but i think it mightve been because the lamp was too hot (although they have a space to move if it gets too...
So i have 8 year old indian runner ducklings and they keep foraging through the straw bedding and eating it, is this normal? Will it hurt them?
I feed them chick starter but they seem to be more interested in the straw..
So i got my runner ducklings 2 days ago (theyre 8 days old now) and they poop a lot. I clean their coop out once/twice a day but they poop often and i get worried and paranoid a few hours after, just incase its too dirty for them. Do they mind the poop? Im way too paranoid to sleep :(
also its...
Hey :) so ive had my ducklings for a couple days now (theyre 8 days old) and when they see me they 'stand up' (theyre runner ducks) and flap their wings while wagging their tails xD
Does anybody know why they do this? I hope theyre not afraid of me or anything
I got runner ducks 2 days ago and theyre currently 7 days old and theyre adorable but one of them really likes to dip their head in water and then run around wagging its tail and flapping its wings while squeaking lol! Is this normal?
Also is it normal for my ducklings to be squeaking a lot...
Im new here and to duck keeping so sorry if i sound dumb :) so i just got my first ducklings, little runners :D but they keep nibbling each other, especially each others beaks. Is this normal? It doesnt seem like theyre doing it hard and they only do it for a few seconds.
