Only last night there were just eggs...
Collected eggs this morning and one of the eggs seemed really light and the outside of shell was rough like that "non slip" stuff people paint on the their steps. I cracked the egg and found it didn't contain either a yolk or a white. The yolk was found in

Went in to the nursery this morning to find one of my Buff ducklings on her back and her feet shaking uncontrollably. I put her

frantically. I guess what I need to know is will she fly off to find a new mate, or will she just pine herself to death.
This is a very sad day for me as my pair has been together...
My two Dominique chicks are now 6 weeks old and doing fine but I am not sure if they are boys or girls. Opinions would be appreciated. Sorry I dont know how to upload pictures to the post but

Hi..my duck has a proplasped oviduct. This is the second bout of it I have noticed. This is much worse than the first attack( if that is the right word). Can anything be done. She wont go in the duck house with the other ducks. I assume it is because they are pecking at it. Can she be saved...
