    ducklings!!

    Today I bought two call ducklings for my black east indie, Mantis. They seem to like each other though Mantis bites a bit too hard out of curiosity. They are a blue bibbed and black bibbed. They don't have names yet but I'm thinking of naming them Calico and Lyoki. Also, Mantis is 2 weeks and 3...

    ducklings bottom bill longer that top

    Haha so Mantis, my 5-day old black east indie, seems to be my little problem child. I noticed her beak looked weird and after looking at it for a good minute, I noticed her bottom bill is longer than her top. Good news, her beak closes find and she eats and drinks fine. I'll post pics tomorrow...

    duckling back not fluffing up

    Hi so my 4-day old black east indie has a small patch on her back that hasn't fluffed up. I'm not sure why and I was thinking once she starts swimming and gets wet that it'd fluff up once she dries off but just in case I'm posting it here.

    internal pip?

    Ahh I don't seem to be getting any replies.. but I do have a question. My black east indie is on day 28 and last night I was sooo sure it had internally pipped, I swore I heard tapping and a soft peep. Today, I candled it to confirm (only out of the incubator for less than a minute) and I didn't...

    ducklings 7 days apart

    Figured I'd go ahead and ask this since my ducklings will be hatching soon! I ordered 16 eggs, 12 call ducks and 4 east indies. Unfortunately, only 3 have babies while the rest were infertile, detatched aircells that didn't reattach after a week or just had bacteria get inside the egg. I do have...

    HELP!! egg cracked inside duck?

    PLEASE HELP!! I went to go feed my ducks and give them water and I noticed one of them, Lamb, was actually strange. She wasn't quacking and was laying down.

    does my duck see me as her mate..?

    I'm not exactly sure what my female duck's behavior is but it's so funny! One of my ducks, Lamb, is trying to I guess "protect" me anytime I enter the enclosure or when the older ducks are around! (She doesn't like the older ducks) She's doing the same thing females do to their mates, here's...

    black east indies with call ducks

    Hello, I have a quick question. Since Black East Indies are bantam ducks and so are calls, would it be fine to house them together? I was thinking about getting some next year but wanted to check first.

    My duck has a beauty mark!

    Hi! I thought this was really cool so I decided to share it with everyone! My call duck, Dulce, has a beauty mark on her beak! We noticed it today when taking pictures of her and her siblings. Though, I did notice it a few weeks ago but I thought it was dirt or something, didn't really pay...

    My ducks killed a snake!

    At least I ASSUME they did lol. My two female calls are currently broody and VERY protective of their eggs. I went down there and the nest is messed up and theres a dead snake in the enclosure! (Looks like it had a struggle and tried to get out) So from what I saw, I assume they killed the...

    can a 2 week old duckling go with a 5 day old duckling?

    So we have a solo duckling and we know someone selling ducklings but the youngest they have is 2 weeks. Would it be okay to have a 5-day old duckling with 2 week old ducklings? Or should I just raise her solo and buy eggs instead ^^'

    My duckling is about almost hatched!! It has zipped and trying to get out :) I will post pics when it fully hatches but I was wondering how long is too long for a duckling to stay in the incubator? It's a small incubator, 3 other eggs, and I don't want baby to get dehydrated. I have school...

    call duck egg - day 30 no internal pip

    Hi again I have 4 call duck eggs on day 30 (although 2 of them were a bit behind so I'm not too worried about them not internally pipping yet) I have one egg (egg 7) that was fully developed by day 23 and has been trying to internally pip for the past 3-4 days. I just candled it earlier and it...

    Should I put this duckling in the brooder or wait?

    Hi so I have one duckling in the process of hatching while the other 3 eggs haven't made an internal pip yet (though 2 of them are trying). Once the duckling hatches and dries off, should I leave it in the incubator and wait for the others to hatch or put it in the brooder?
