I don't know what to do with the other eggs. The nesting duck is in a bush, and is hard to access. I could take out all of the eggs, but...

    HELP! My duck has gone to nest, and I just candled them. It is around day 18. There is some blue discoloration on the egg, and I cannot see through it, except at the air sack, and a small crescent moon in the egg.

    Ducks Just Starting to Lay Eggs

    Greetings, One of my muscovy ducks has just started to lay eggs. Unfortunately, she chose to do so in our briar patch, in the most secluded place possible. I fear that my other ducks will choose nesting spots with similar difficulties. I am wondering if there is a way to train ducks, like...

    Wondering How Long To Keep New Ducks Quarantined

    Greetings, I have gotten two new Muscovy ducks, and I am wondering how long to keep them separated from the rest of my flock.

    Newly Adopted Duck, Has a Lot of Medical Concerns

    I recently adopted a pair of Muscovy Ducks. Their first home was not the best, and they came to me with fully plugged noses (lots of dirt and food in there). One of them seemed to be alright, the food came out pretty easily (we did have to go in and manually remove it) and aside from a rather...
