Mama duck not accepting baby
I had a duck hatch several eggs and one of them cracked and was bloody, it eventually hatched out and was lifeless and the mama duck was stepping all over it. So, I put it in the incubator for several days and it wouldn’t stand but just twitch its legs. Finally it started standing so I put it in... -
Gosling & Ducklings
Hello everyone, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted here! I have had the same 13 ducks for 2 years now and I have them trained to free range from morning until sunset. They will come back to their coop at sunset with no hassle and my favorite part, they come running and quacking to me when I... -
Niacin Supplement for ducks
I have 12 ducks, some are a year old and others are about 9 months old. I usually give them straight duck feed that is $30 for a bag but it’s hard to find now at my local farm store so I have been giving all flock pellets and add brewers yeast to their feed several times a week. When I do find... -

Duck sick?
I have around a 13 week old khaki Campbell. I noticed she is stumbling and running into things. But she still can see and nothing wrong with her feet. She is super calm when I hold her. She has drainage from nostrils, doesn’t care anything about swimming but still tries to groom her feather... -
Winter care in KY!
I have a 10x10 with an full sided insulated wood coop house for my ducks. I have been adding straw to the floor (on concrete) since fall so it’s pretty deep.

Female ducks not quacking as much
Hello, it’s me again… right now I have 3 adult drakes and 2 adult laying females. The males quack constantly whenever they hear me come to them or see them.

Niacin Supplement for Duckling Feed
I just purchased ducklings I would say are maybe 2 days old. The feed I am giving them did not display the amount of niacin so I emailed them and they said t has 75 ppm. Do I need to add more niacin (brewers yeast) to the feed? The feed is nature serve duckling starter/grower feed. Also I... -
Ancona Duck with yellowing of eyes and bumblefoot
Help! I got an Ancona female a couple weeks ago and just noticed today she has bumblefoot, so I am treating and she is in a dog kennel on dry straw inside the duck run.

Are my runner and Cayuga male or female?
Hello! I bought three new ducks and was told they were all female. I know for sure my black and white runner is by her quack. I’m not great at voice sexing but to me the Indian runner and Cayuga sound more like my males. They just don’t have the drake feather which I know not all drakes do. I... -
Ducks not laying eggs
Hello! I have 1 female that just turned 18 weeks old. I got 3 more females about a month ago and was told they were a year old and the two runners were supposed to be laying, but they haven’t. Could it be due to stress from the transition or cooler weather? -
Mallard hen or drake?

Sex of saxony and other
I thought I had all female until this past 2 weeks when I noticed the drake feather and the coloring of the saxonys head starting to get the blueish grey look. So far I had these 2 with 3 others that I know are female. One of them I traded. So now I have 5 females and the 2 that I am suspecting... -
