I will deworm and I will take a picture next time it happens. Are you saying the green spot is a worm or just caused by the worm? I'm just curious.

I have 2 Welsh Harlequinn's. Periodically, about 4 times per year, I will find a dark green circular piece within the whites of my eggs. I can easily remove it with a spoon and it seems to be encapsulated in its own clear encasement. I haven't dissected it but it looks greenish and appears...

I have 5 chickens: 3 Americaunas & 2 Black Australourpes. I also have 2 ducks, which I'm also counting: 2 Welsh Harlequinns. 549 + 7 = 556

Thank you for your thorough answer. So, 4 to 5 years. I do all natural; no extra light or heat as our weather doesn't get all that cold. Everyone is allowed out every day. The ducks don't care what the weather is as they enjoy it all. I did figure they would get so they lay lighter and it's nice...

Thanks for trying. If you've had ducks for a while, what is your personal experience? If I hear personal experiences from a few people, it will give me an idea of what to expect.

I have 2 WHs and they are excellent layers! They are 1 year old this year. 1 duck has only missed 1 day since she has started laying and the other duck has missed about 10 days. Amazing! My question is how long can I expect these ducks to keep laying so regularly. I know they lay more and...

I'd love to raise show quality. That will be a while from now since I'm just starting. Thanks for the info on the shortcuts to the names of things. One of my hens looks like she should be show quality. Of course, since I know nothing, that is just a proud mama talking about the beauty of 1 of...

This is excellent information for me. Thank you! I shall set Oyster shells out for mine when I notice the indicative behavior. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thank you so much for this information! I've been trying to find this out for about 6 months. I hope it is more like 6 months rather than 1 year since they are about full grown now.

What are TSQ & PQ?

I bought some Welsh Harlequin ducks this year. I also bought some Arucauna chicks. The ducks are ending their 7th week and the chickens are ending their 8th week. The chickens are a lot friendlier than the ducks. I need to spend more time handling the ducks though all will come eat out of my...

Hi! I'm just joining. I found this site today and have already learned so much about my WHs. They are 7 weeks old. I'm supposed to have 3 ducks and 1 drake. So far, I'm certain I have 1 Silver WH duck and I'm pretty sure 1 of them is a drake. The other 2 are up for grabs. I'm brand new to ducks...
