    Silkies eye swollen shut

    So it’s a long story but we had some weird things happen last night. I have 2 coops side by side. 1 was for full size chickens the other for bantam chickens. Each of them have nesting boxes side by side and they’re separated by chicken wire. The big chickens nesting box has a lid with no lock on...

    Normal duck feet?

    I’ve got a bunch of almost 2 month old ducklings. They’re afraid of everything and cause so much noise. I managed to grab the ringleader. She’s the loudest of them all and sets everyone off. As I was holding her I noticed her feet are really cracked in places. Is this normal? Both of them are...

    I blew it. Now what?

    I have an incubator full of welsh harlequin duck eggs. It’s day 24. This is only my second time incubating. First time was with muscovys and it was a disaster. Decided to try again and I tried really hard to just not worry too much. I’ve kept the temperature at 99.5 and humidity around 60%. I...

    Is this peacock ok?

    On Saturday a friend was out hiking not too far from town and came across a peacock that was limping. The friend went near him and was able to pet him. The peacock ended up collapsing because of its foot. Someone else there thinks it’s probably a sprain. The friend was worried he would be taken...

    Is this normal for a broody Muscovy

    My Muscovy duck is sitting on a clutch of about 14 eggs. It’s day 36 there about. Most have pipped externally. Last night we could hear a little duckling chirping but today no sound. This evening she’s been off the nest at least 3 times. I’ve been able to candle the eggs and at least the ones I...

    Muscovy drake too aggressive with female

    On July 27th of this year I hatched a little Muscovy. He was the only one that hatched so for the first couple days he was with myself or my parents constantly. We were able to find another little Muscovy that was a couple weeks older. We were worried that she would pick on him because of the...

    Is my duckling just spoiled??

    So on June 28th I hatched 1 little Muscovy duckling that I now believe is a boy. None of the other eggs hatched so for the first couple days he was with me or my mom 24/7. We found him a little friend that was about a week older and I’m pretty sure it’s a female. At first the little guy still...

    Duckling with watery eye

    My week and a half old Muscovy duckling has kind of a watery eye. It’s been looking a bit crusty along the outside but just right now it’s kind of watery. Is this normal? Will it go away on its own? Thank you!

    Shrink wrapped egg??

    Day 35 of incubating Muscovy eggs. One of them pipped externally Friday. Saturday made a bigger hole in same spot. Today has not made much progress. Right or wrong I decided to peel back some of the shell. It looked like the membrane is stuck to the ducklings head but the bill is free and moving...

    Help on Muscovy eggs.

    Ok so I’m on day 32. Never done this before so I’m learning as I go. I have 8 eggs in a little giant forced air incubator and I had them in a automatic egg turner. I read today that it’s best to take them out of the egg turner so I did that this morning. I went to turn them a half hour ago and...

    Incubating eggs

    So I’m attempting to incubate what I believe are Muscovy eggs. I’m on day 21. I candled them tonight and noticed a crack on one of the eggs which wasn’t there before. I can still see movement. Is there something I should be doing? Or just hope for the best?

    Help identifying this duckling.

    We have 6 welsh harlequins that were born June 29th. Today we went to Home Depot and a lady overheard us say we had ducks. She says last night her family was walking by a creek and a little duckling came running up to them. They couldn’t find its family so they took it home but didn’t know what...

    How do you feed different aged ducks??

    So I have 4 ducks that are 7 weeks, 4 that are about about 4 or 5 weeks and then a Muscovy that is laying eggs. They’re all in one pen and I let them out whenever I can so they can swim and forage. I leave their food out for them so they can eat whenever. But now that the Muscovy is laying eggs...

    My duckling won’t stop pulling other ducks feathers while swimming.

    We have 2 Mallards and 2 Pekins that are 4 weeks old. We just moved them to their new duck house outside this past Sunday. We live in California so we are having hundred degree days at the moment. In the afternoons they are all panting so I’ve been spraying them with cool water which they love...
