How can I tell if an egg is fertilized?
Yes I understand that. But I'm saying if she came across a drake unknown to me. Can't you visually check them? Holding them up to a light?- Deester

How can I tell if an egg is fertilized?
I've had ducks for about 5 years. Lots of fun and laughs. We'll for the first time ever one of my girls have been wondering off. After following her I found a nest at the time there was 5 eggs. All my ducks are free range during the day. All my ducks are female. If these eggs she's nesting...- Deester

Golden Star Hybrid
I have had 3 Cayuga's. 2 died and I have one original one left, she is 2 years old. This spring I ordered 3 of the KC hybrids and another Cayuga. The KC should just about be getting ready to lay their first eggs. Personalities are different. Cayuga' seem much more relaxed....it could be that... -
small Cayuga
Okay different theory here. How old is the duckling now? I recently got a shipment of 4 ducklings. 1 Cayuga and 3 Khaki Campbell's. They came as day olds. The Cayuga was significantly smaller then the Khaki's. My husband tells me that the Cayuga's are typically larger breed than the Khaki... -
How long do ducks lay eggs?
No I don't think they are getting hidden as at one time they were and I'd see them go under a bush or the like. We watch them all the time. The one that died last week was laying for about a week. They were the same age. Things are settling down, and routines are coming into play... -

Plenty of layer feed, fresh food, and whatever they pick in the yard. Just wanted to see if there was something that I was missing. Denise -
How long do ducks lay eggs?
Ducks live 8-10 years I'm told. During that time they start laying eggs at around 5 months. Once they are starting to lay how long in their lifecycle do they lay. Do they get too old or do they lay until they pass on? I've got a duck that hasn't started to lay yet. Last year she started up... -
Duck vs. Chicken "eggs"
Question to all. I have ducks. This is the second year we own them. Last year they stopped laying in November. This year in October. I have forced lighting that comes on at 4 pm and goes off at 7:30 am. Same as last year. My question is that I was talking to someone and they said that... -

I wanna get ducks need info
I don't have chickens so don't know about mixing them. I have two Cayuga's. They are sweet very different personalities. Do a lot of holding early on so they don't mind being touched. I have a kiddie pool with a drain and pipe that works well if your not getting too many. This way I don't... -
Duck Bedding
I use chopped hay from Agway. It's easier to use because the pieces are smaller than a bale of hay. It comes wrapped in plastic like peat moss. I know some use peat moss. Also, another I hear is wood pellets. I use a mixture in the winter the hay and pellets. Pellets are good for heavy... -
We found something amazing and scary.
I just found a baby raccoon locked in the same cage as my Cayuga's. I came out and it was looking at me. My heart dropped. I saw my ducks were fine. I closed them in their pen after free ranging and it must have been in before I closed them in. I called to my family for backup about what... -
Are Ducks Right For Me in Suburban CT?
Check with town regulations so there are no surprises. That being said it's up to you to follow the rules or not. We decided to go the sneaky method and get quiet ducks. We started small no experience under our belt. We got 3 Cayuga. They are beautiful, coloring like a peacock. We have had... -

Why would a duck be breaking feathers?
It's been one or two a day but they seem to be breaking, not falling out. What could be the reason? Denise
