    Duck conjunctivitis? & weird head movements (pics) (repost)

    (reposting from the medical forum) This 8-week-old duck has an issue with his left eye, and I sadly can't afford to take him to the avian vet at the moment after expensive urgent surgery for a different duck a few weeks ago wiped me out. :( For about a week I rinsed it with saline and gave...

    Duckling slipped tendon?

    Is this a slipped tendon? And is it at both the hock and the foot? This duckling has had problems with this leg from the start, and either I couldn't see this before or it's somehow been injured since then. Some kind of developmental defect happened because that back toe is completely missing...

    Duckling with curled foot and twisted leg

    Hi, I have a duckling with a curled foot and leg that looks turned inward. It's about 32 hours old now and moving around the brooder a bit, but its leg and foot haven't seemed to improve at all. It had multiple malposition issues and needed help to hatch, but otherwise seems healthy. It only...

    Is this egg doomed? (photo)

    Duck egg on day 19 (was candling to find a different egg that had gone bad and gotten smelly) I can see movement in the egg, but also noticed those 2 black spots that look like it's going bad. They didn't shift at all when I was turning the egg. This batch of shipped eggs has been the worst...

    NR360 forced-air incubator but uneven temps

    Hi, This is the first time I've set some duck eggs in a few years so I feel a bit out of practice. I always successfully used a Nurture Right 360 before, but this is a new one. I have 2 thermometer hygrometers in the NR360 and they're showing quite a difference in readings on one side vs the...

    Looking for Golden Cascade duck hatching eggs

    Anyone who is or will be selling Golden Cascade hatching eggs? I have a small flock from some of the last ducklings Holderread's sold in 2020 and want to make sure I keep some genetic diversity. And if anyone has Mini Golden Cascade hatching eggs, that would be amazing.

    Severe foamy eyes

    I have a female adult duck whose eyes are both foaming so much that even after I rinse them, they're both completely covered agan within a few minutes to the point that she can't see at all and bumps into things. I would assume it's because of overmating because the males have suddenly become...

    Are these ducklings chocolate color?

    I think the camera still made them look a little bit darker than in person. Not sure who their parents are so I've been trying to work backwards to guess from the color genetics possibilities. At first I thought they definitely could not be chocolate because their brown is so dark, but then I...

    Is this a safe way to stagger my duck eggs?

    Hi all, This is my first time hatching. I have a Nurture Right 360 set up and ready to go. I ordered some shipped duck eggs and also bought some other duck eggs locally to fill the rest of my incubator. I had carefully tried to avoid this exact situation, but unfortunately my shipment is...

    Different Nurture Right 360 models?

    Hi, Can anyone tell me which of these is a newer model? I can't find anything online about it, except it needed a smaller grid on the fan guard but I have no idea which one might be the corrected model!

    Guinea pigs & ducklings health?

    I've had my pair of pet guinea pigs for a few years and they've ended up basically having their own small separate bedroom. I'm also incubating/hatching ducklings for the first time and have planned to keep the duckling brooder in the guinea pig room. But are there any specific diseases or...

    Ducks and guinea pigs health?

    (Not sure where is best to post this, and couldn't find anything related in search terms) I have some guinea pigs and have been planning to also keep my incoming ducklings in the same general area. Are there any illnesses or diseases that could be transmittable between the two? Or anything else...

    Looking for Welsh Harlequins in Florida

    Hi everyone! I'm looking to get 2-3 Welsh Harlequin Ducks. I'd really rather buy locally if possible, but haven't had much luck in my search so far. Any breeders in North Florida or South Georgia? Thanks in advance for any leads!
