Is it possible for Cayuga ducklings to have white on them? I know that as the adults get older they slowly turn white, but is it possible for ducklings to have some white fluff on them too?
I have a flock of about 20 hens, mostly lohman browns. I have been experiencing egg eating happening a lot lately, and is getting out of control. I got 3 eggs from them today. Should be getting my usual 1 and a half doz from them. This is so frustrating, I have them always with 17% poultry...
So I bought some Brahma chicks from a market yesterday and I got 4 PARTRIDGE and 4 GOLD PARTRIDGE. I am extremely confused as to how breeding colour variants work, is there such thing as just a “partridge Brahma”? Or is it gonna be a “blue partridge” etc. and what happens if you crossed gold...
Hi, I have a group of 4 females and 1 male Pekin ducks. I have them separated in their own pen right now for the last little bit since I have been collecting their eggs for hatching, I put a dozen of their eggs in the incubator, and a week later I found that almost 10 of them never started...
Hi. I am wondering what would the goslings be like from a pure brown female Chinese goose, bred to a pure white Chinese gander? Would they be splash coloured offspring? I have never bred white Chinese geese to brown Chinese geese so I have some questions on this. Any help is greatly appreciated...
Hi. I have about 12 or so female ducks. All under 2.5 years old. I have not received a single, not one, duck egg for 3 months now. I live in Alberta too by the way. I don’t give my ducks any supplemental heat, no heat lamps or anything. I feed my ducks once everyday, barley and 17% chicken layer...
Hey y’all, I am gearing up already for hatching goslings next spring, and was curious on letting Muscovy ducks hatch out most of my goose eggs next spring (I only have 1 pair of geese, they are Chinese geese) and I was also wondering how many goose eggs can one Muscovy hen hatch out in a clutch...

Hey y’all, I got a 2 year old Pekin duck recently from someone who was getting rid of all their birds. I checked her feet today just making sure there’s no bumblefoot going on, to my surprise I saw on the ends of some of her toes were big and were missing toenails, could she have froze some toes...
Hi, I got F1 olive egger roosters, whose parents are black copper maran and legbar. Was wondering if I bred the roosters to my Lohmann brown hens who lay a nice brown egg, or my buff orpington hens, will I get the green eggs that a olive egger should lay? Thanks!
Hey y’all, was wondering what colour would the offspring be of a black X blue Swedish cross? Since breeding two blue Swedish results in either black, blue, or splash ducklings, and breeding a black and splash ducks would make blue ducklings, what would the blue x black Swedish cross ducklings...
Hey everyone. I am wondering how long do magpie duck eggs take to hatch. From what I see on different websites they aren’t really adding up. Some say just 20 days, and others are saying about the same as other ducks. And help would be appreciated!
Hey all, I have a cool breeding project for my ducks that I got few questions on. I have a crested Cayuga duck hen she has a little crest on the back of her head and I was wondering if I would be able to breed her to my other duck breeds such as maybe a buff drake or khaki Campbell drake, or...

Hey y’all, I got my first buff Orpington ducks about 2 weeks ago they are 15 weeks old now. I was wanting to purchase 4 girls and 1 boy and when I got them I was pretty sure I got what I wanted, in the photo you can see the drake in the pool he clearly has a different bill colour then everyone...
