Thank you for the advice!!

I have about 7-10 duck eggs,2 have already hatched and 3rd one is halfway out!! I can hear others pecking and chirping inside!! This is my very 1st time with hatching,is there anything I need to know other than the incubator and temp? I have already put chick feed mush and water in there and the...

I take then that if they are molting,they aren't normally laying?

Definitely looks like my girl,Munchkin,who is a Black Swede! What a beauty!!

Thank you very much for this info! I can handle either the tote or some other type of enclosed pen for any babies.So far,so good with Munchkin laying on them,however she doesn't stay on them all the time,whether for eating,foraging or swimming in the pond,she does go right back to them and is...

Thank you for the info you gave me,it at least gets me started in a direction in which I am sure I will learn probably more than I wanted to! LOL Oh by the way,what is a brooder?

I have talked about Ellie and reported that she wasn't laying for the past 2 weeks however we now have an egg nest with 8 eggs in it,none of them are Ellie's and only the Black swede sitting on them! I know nothing about raising baby ducks so I guess I have a lot of homework to do! Will I need...

I do apologize for being so hasty in judging you! I have not done what you are doing so therefore should not have jumped in so quickly! I know some people out there just happen to not care when raising them for slaughter! Hope all is going well for you!

What kind of ducks are the boys? One looks Mallard on the body and the black one looks like my Black Swede! They are very pretty,love my ducks too!! Your girl is sooooo pretty!

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE Quacker! Absolutely beautiful!!

Thank you Miss Lydia! I didn't find much to go on,so I guess we will have to keep an eye on her!

My blue swede Ellie is 1 yr old,she was laying the green then the blue eggs! She has had issues with prolapsed uterus and egg bound in the past,vet treated her,removed eggs from her etc. Now that she has been doing well for over 5months,Ellie has stopped laying altogether and her bill has turned...

It looks like bumblefoot starting,how long has it been a problem?

I have 2 Blue Swedes and 1 Black Swede and only 1 of the Blue Swedes have always layed a green or blue egg! She started out when first laying,green and now that she is older it has changed to blue,the other 2 lay white eggs! Hope this helps!

Yes they do!! I have 4 ducks,2 Blue Swedes and 1 Mallard and 1 Black Swede and the Blue swedes have a field day if they find one! Mine used to be a fish pond,my fish died after many years,only tadpoles and frogs and toads!! Doesn't matter how big they are either,I have only been able to steal 1...

They are all very pretty! Do you know what kind the black with the white is by any chance?

I have 2 Blue Swedes and 1 Mallard and 1 black and white"I don't know what"! 3 Are hens and they have laid all year since they started laying although the vet told me the less light they have,especially during the winter months,that it would cut down the laying! WRONG! I get 2 white and 1 blue...

Can anyone tell me if ducks would eat their own eggs and why? Would it mean they are lacking something in their diet? It just happened for the first time and they have been laying for quite some time now! Thank ou for any answers or advice :)

I have 1 Mallard drake,2 Blue Swedes and 1 Black Swede. The 3 girls started laying at about 7 months! One blue swede lays blue eggs,the other 2 lay huge white ones.We were told by the vet that the more light they were exposed to will help with laying! We had to have 1 of them stop as she had a...

These are beauties!! What kind is the black or the black with white? I have 1 similar but with less white,she is the loudest and seems to be the boss of all!
