    Embryo in wrong spot?

    Duck eggs, laid in really weird conditions and I didn’t expect much development but 15 had veins and beating hearts on day 4! Only problem was the veins and yolk seemed very detached and moved a bit when you moved the egg, and almost all the embryos and veins were practically attached to the air...

    Duck on eggs in cold weather?

    My first time owning ducks, one of them decided she would not only put her nest in a spot that I didnt see it, but lay a whole four eggs in it (her first eggs ever)! Its still February and the temputure can get anywhere from 60F to 20F at this point and she made the nest in an odd spot. The...

    Random quail death?

    This is the 3rd time, and one of the times was with quail from a completely different seller, that I have randomly found a dead quail. The one today was in the outside part of the coop (which is odd because it’s cold and the other 36 stay inside for warmth) and was just lying dead. Food and...

    Beetles in chick feed?!

    I’m hatching a ton of quail right now and found these tiny red beetles in their food, and upon further investigation, in their entire food bag! It’s not a new bag, but I hadn’t noticed this at all before. Each bag costs like 25 dollars so I was wondering if I should get a new one or if the...

    Broken wing? Emergency

    This is my first time owning ducks and one of my drakes is holding his wing funny and when he tries to flap it he nearly flips over. I let him out to watch him but it cannot be a predator or another duck because he was in quarantine for being a jerk. He also keeps twitching the wing. I have no...

    Automatically closing door with quail?

    Recently had an attack and my entire raised from eggs flock of special cuternix quail was killed. Going to be hatching more and adding a few predator precautions but due to a weird rule where the coop is I can’t bury anything or use concrete. The coop has an outdoor part and an indoor part that...

    Quail attack. Prevention ideas?

    I had a small completely enclosed coop that held 13 cutornix quail. They lived behind my high school in an open field with no proper forest or anything nearby due to people’s property. I am on vacation and have someone checking on them, and yesterday everything was fine and today 8 were dead, 2...

    Can you get quail to hatch their own eggs?

    I currently have 9 female coturnix and 3 boys (but I plan to buy a few more girls) and two bobwhite females (Its a long story- but they get along fine. The bobs are even laying now despite having awful conditions before and only being moved two weeks ago!) and have a few projects I want to...

    Wheezing quack/opening mouth duck

    Bought a new duck, and she seems healthy enough but instead of a quack she makes a wheezy noise, I’ll attach a video of it. I can’t tell her gender because of it, although she has no drake feather and is old enough she should. She also will stand there and open her mouth all the way like she is...

    Wheezy quack?

    Got a new duck today, was told she was a female (she’s a Cayuga) and she has no drake feather but she makes the weirdest sound ever. Not even a raspy drake sound, imagine a whistling wheezy noise, and that’s the quack she makes. Seems healthy enough, maybe the tiniest bit underweights, but...

    Can a big duck mate with call ducks?

    Due to some unfortunate circumstances I currently have a young adult Blue Swedish drake ( Sweetest boy ever) and a female call duck who should lay eggs and day now. For about a month the call has been practically throwing herself at the drake, and he ignored her. Today when she was swimming she...

    Rotten quail egg?

    Any idea what rotten quail eggs look like? I’ve got a full incubator of 36 eggs on day two, and one of my golds looks pretty brown were some look almost white. Any idea what rotten eggs look like, or is it just variations in color?

    Sudden duckling death

    This was quite a while ago, but I hatched my first duckling and was given a duckling that hatched the day after him- hatched by a chicken. I had this electorate baby stuff on a dropper that she recommended to me, and was giving this to both ducklings as they both had odd hatching (My boy was an...

    Mean lil call duck?

    Have a sweet young blue Swedish drake, who has absolutely zero interest in other ducks, and a tiny female call duck (That I am planning on getting rid of) who keeps puffing out her chest and putting her head up and shoving herself against the poor boy while quacking a lot. He only seems mildly...

    Duck lunging up arm?

    I have the sweetest little young drake, almost 5 months old now, hand raised and raised alone as his sibling mysteriously died. Wouldn’t hurt a fly, and still follows me around, he even submits to my call duck ( who is a third of his size) that’s being mean to him. But I scratch his chest and...

    Hypothetically of course….

    Hypothetically, if you only had two ducks and one of them is a white call duck that was a free gift and is terrified of you, and you THINK is a female and 4 months old, and a 2 and a half month old blue Swedish duck that you assist hatched and raised alone and it kind of likes you, but seems to...

    Call duck falling and bad feathers?

    I have a call duck and a 2 month old Swedish Duckling, and they are in a coop that is off the ground (predator problems) and is fine wire on the bottom, I noticed my Call would take a few steps and then fall on his stomach, and in the yard he didn’t limp, but stumbled a few times. He also has...

    Duck wheezing?

    Noticed today when my 2 month old was sitting with me he had a barely audible wheeze to his breath, and a weird slight click. He had been rooting around in the mud an eating grass, and is perfectly happy and healthy as far as I can tell, he lives in an open air coop, with an indoor part that has...

    This may be a nice problem..

    So I had my very first duckling hatch, unfortunately all the other eggs died, and the friend I bought him suddenly died a few days later. So I had a lone duckling and got a call about a Call duck of unknown gender that was also a lone hatch but it was three months old, and they couldn’t keep it...
