    Cayuga laying white eggs???

    It varies from individual to individual. My Cayugas are from top exhibition lines, and they vary from grayish, to bluish to white. Only the first few eggs of the year that a bird lays will be black or close to it. Some always lay white eggs. Webfoot.

    Cayuga breeding questions

    It may just be that her plumage is old and she has a molt coming up. They can get pretty faded. But, I haven't seen her, so it's hard to tell. Webfoot

    WHY do ducks quit laying??

    In its natural form, laying is a seasonal thing. A bird lays only a clutch of eggs, incubates them, and raises the young. There's no reason to keep laying. Most domesticated breeds have been selectively bred to continue laying long past when they would have stopped in the wild. Laying takes...

    Limping ducks - multiple people looking for help.

    Ducks have somewhat delicate legs compared to other domestic fowl, and it's common for them to tweak them in their daily running-around. When I first got ducks I worried over every limp, inspected legs and feet, and fussed over them. But eventually I got over it. I've owned hundreds of ducks...

    Welsh Harlequin

    That sheds some light on my experiences trying to breed Golds this year. I had one Gold female, and I bred her and some of her Silver sisters back to their Silver sire (since he had to carry Gold) hoping to increase the frequency of Gold in my flock. I got 100% Silvers. This tells me that...

    My Runners aren't very.. runner-y.

    I see Runner influence in the shape of their heads and the length of their necks and bodies. Even show quality Runners don't stand up perfectly straight all the time. Commercial runners don't have the extreme shape of an exhibition runner, but in my experience they're better layers and have...

    Do ducks get lice when with infested chickens?

    Ducks don't get external parasites nearly as often as chickens because they bathe so much. But they can still get them. Webfoot

    I never knew a duck could carry....

    I saw my old mutt duck do this once when she was sitting on a nest. Apparently, the egg was rotten. She ran over to her water tub with it and dropped it in. Then she washed out her bill--it must have tasted bad! Webfoot

    Wondering about possible negative of misting eggs when incubating

    Dave's advice is a good place to start. However, hatching methods have to be adjusted for the conditions you live in. Dave lives in Oregon, and I would guess that he has no trouble keeping his humidity levels up Misting would be advantageous in humid conditions because it would cause the...

    Wondering about possible negative of misting eggs when incubating

    In natural incubation, the coating on the eggs is worn off pretty quickly by the duck turning the eggs. Misting eggs causes moisture loss. If the humidity in your incubator is at correct level, there's no need to mist. Webfoot
