Hello everyone. I am incubating some indian runner duck eggs and I think they have all died :( I could see clear distinct veins in all eggs when candling and then one by one next time I checked the veins look really light and there is no movement whatsoever. I am really not sure what's happened.
Hi everyone. So a couple of days ago I had to take my dog into the vet, when someone came in with a wild duckling that had been separated from it's mother. I have indian runner ducks at home and have raised 6 ducks from hatching so I have experience raising ducks but, this duckling is so...
I have two one month old ducklings and I am in a bit of a predicament as my family is going on holiday and I can't bring them so I was wondering if I could have them in a coop outside with hay in the bottom to keep them warm and have someone come to fill their water and food? The lowest the...

One of my duck eggs has internally pipped I can see her beak in the aircell and I can hear her tapping on the shell when I put it up to my ear! She's even chirping but it's been just over 24 hours and still no external zip? Should I put a safety hole in or just leave it? The eggs are day 27.
Hi everyone, I have two ducklings about to hatch and I have some questions about the feed as previously 3 other ducklings died while on this feed and I'm wanting to know if it is the feed that caused this. I got feed from a farm shop they said it would be suitable for ducklings but I've found...
