Very saddled shipped muscovy eggs; we are talking ones that arrived with the air cells right down to the middle on some. Day 9 and we have 5/6 developing. All the embryos are just under the air cell so the veins are poking out. Any tips? Air sacs aren't detached but the air was moving a lot when...
Hi everyone. So after keeping Calls the last 8 years I decided to branch into muscovies. We incubated according to the main muscovy incubating article on here; this one and incubated dry until adding water at lockdown. I've listed everything I've done from first intervention in this Facebook...
Hi everyone!
So it's about time we made life easier for ourselves! I've wanted to do a drastic overhaul of how we organise the run once we have extended it. At the moment we use pine shavings (big chunky ones) after giving up on straw. It's directly on a dirt floor and we are basically scraping...
Hi everyone! This is my 7 year old boy, Edwin. For the last couple of weeks I've noticed he has had the feathers around his eyes looking a bit "dirty". They have access to drinking water they can get their heads into and a small bath in their enclosure. After noticing this I've made a special...
Call Duck Eggs by Doobly posted Jun 12, 2019 at 12:08 PM
Hi, I'm biting my hands off over here! So this is my first time hatching under a broody. She's sat tight in her housing with the door shut and a little food and water in there with her (chick crumb and pebbles in the water). It's day 27...
So my two boys are just not interested this year! They've been on their own but we acquired two females about 6-8 months ago and they've settled in well. Normally they're humping slippers and nipping legs... but get them some tail and not a sausage!!
Any advice? We are on the South Coast of the...
I'm honestly getting quite upset about this now. The neighbours kids and the 20 odd local kids who also hang out in their garden have constantly in the 5 years we've been there and they've been big enough to climb things been hanging literally over our fence at our ducks. We have moved them...
Hi everyone, looking for a little bit of reassurance here! I've incubated before but I'm dealing with something new here - ordered some call duck eggs online. They arrived perfectly, in a polystyrene box, tightly packed, fragile tape all around it. Just what I'd expect, really.
So perhaps...
Hi, I'm River, I live in Hampshire, England. I'm a practising artist and mum to a toddler.
I've had ducks since a box of 'em were pulled out my Dad's boot on my 8th birthday. I've loved them since.
Currently I have two Call drakes, and looking to expand this year. A 5 year old khaki call named...
Looking for some khaki call duck hatching eggs! I live in Southampton, UK, don't mind paying for eggs and postage. Just desperate to find more of this colour as I've now contacted all the local breeders and I'm running out of time for the year!
If not, I'll be interested if anyone has chocolate...
