Im not super good with ducks but the grey one definitely looks like a blue Swedish! The yellow one is most likely a pekin. The brown one is the only one I'm not so sure about, maybe a rouen?
When you find out I definitely want to know!
If I already add niacin, should I still add apple cider vinegar? And how much should I add per gallon? Most of the time he only breathes heavy when he is laying on me. I raised his light higher, so right now I believe its at about 70/75 degrees and he's about to be 2 weeks. Would that be to...
He puts his leg out sometimes. Not a lot but he does it at least once or twice when I hold him.
I know you're supposed to be able to see straight though their nares, I can see through but it looks like there may be something there. How do I know for sure? and How could I get it out? I try to...
Hi all! I have a duckling who is almost 2 weeks, on Wednesday. He has been sneezing a bit. Its not to bad but its definitely there. He also seems to breath a little heavy at times, at one point it was almost panting. He is all alone so no one else can catch anything, Other than the sneezing he...
I have been looking! Thats where I found this guy. I live about an 45 min from chicago so were in an area that no one has chickens or ducks so its difficult. But ask of last night he seems to be super happy.
Thank you so much! We do want to try to find him a friend but the only possible way is a tractor supply store and the closest one is over an hour and a half away. He definitely won't be alone to much as my mom and brother are home most of the time. I make sure to socialize with him before I go...
Hey all! I just got a new baby! But theres an issue, I have to raise him/her alone. Ive been looking on craigslist for a while now for 2 little babies and I found someone with 6! (Yay) So I sent her an email asking if 2 were still available and she told me that 5 of them were going to be picked...
We have a duck that is about 2 months old. We got her from McMurry Hatchery. Ever since we've had her, she has limped. And lately she has been laying down almost all the time. Im worried that she's in pain. Any ideas on what it could be? Ive looked at her and nothing seems to be wrong externally.
Thank you so much! I separated him for a while and made sure he was eating and drinking. And he is doing much better! So I put him back with everyone and he is doing a lot lot better! Thank you so much!
Hi all! I need some help! This morning we just got a shipment of 15 ducks and we have one that doesn't look to well. One of his eyes is staying closed 99% of the time and all he does is sleep. When he's in the brooder with the other ducklings and chicks they all walk over him like he's not...
Hey all! I just got some baby chicks and we have some ducklings on the way! But heres our brooder! Any tips on how we can improve it would be greatly appreciated!
Our Brooder is in an old baby playpen/ crib
The metal thing you see on the right side is our thermometer until we get a better...
Hey guys! Im brand new to this site and have already become obsessed with it in under a week!
Anyway we just got 18 chicks with 15 ducklings coming! We have had chickens in the past but it was years ago! But we are new to the whole duck thing. The hatchery we ordered from had minimum orders so...
Hi, so I will be getting about 3 ducks and 15 chickens in aprox. A month and I was wondering about a duck pond. I have some ideas but would love to get someone else's input also. Pics would be great thanks (also I've had chickens before but no ducks)
