    My Ducks Are Trying To Hatch Babies

    Hi! My two female ducks lay on their eggs all day. One in particular lays on them much more than the other female and they become frantic when I try to check the eggs out. I candled an egg tonight outside from their hutch when it was dark and I saw some eggs were completely dark with the air...

    Desperately Trying to Hatch Ducklings

    Hi guys, Some of you might have read I had three pet ducks and I'm almost convince I've narrowed the predator who took my babies to an owl. I live in NJ and this winter I heard their scared quack and my boyfriend checked on them and a huge Snowy Owl was sitting on their hutch staring at them...

    How Do I Hatch Duck Eggs?

    This weekend my beloved pet ducks were taken and killed by a predator while they were spending some time in the yard like they did every evening. I had been letting the female duck keep the eggs she had been laying and putting the ones she laid in the yard into the hutch for her after I found...

We live in a very suburban area with lots of houses and not too much land. In the beginning of April found the females eggs taken from our yard and the hutch was open a bit...

    UPDATE: My Mallard Is Missing

    Hi guys! Tonight I put up about 90 flyers in the area and got a call from a man who said he saw him about a mile from the house at a Home Depot flying low and taking breaks, walking. He thought it was odd because he was alone. He ended up flying towards a stream that spans a few townships but...

    Will My Mallard Come Home?

    i posted earlier about how I thought something happened with my male Mallard. After searching my backyard even more I see no sign of struggle or harm, just an open hutch door and a few missing eggs (I’m assuming my dogs wouldn’t have found / been interested in all of a sudden eating those eggs)...
