Thank you so much for the advise Orca5094 I really do appreciate the help. Have a great day!!

Thank you so much for your reply Mrs. H. I have five hens but right now only popcorn is laying. I am afraid she will get depressed if I take her eggs away or if they just don't hatch. I'm a sucker for a sweet duck. She would be such a great momma duck. I just really don't want any little...

Hello everyone I need some advise. My pekin hen is sitting on six non-fertile eggs, I know they are because we do not have any drakes. She has lined her nest with feathers and turns the eggs daily she sits so gently and she is not eating as much. I feel so bad for her. should I continue to...

Thank you all. I will keep you up to date. What color is a mallard egg?

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm guessing this is a mallard egg. It is white and the size of a chicken egg. I will put them all together with supervision for a snack and see how that goes. Thanks again!

Hi, I have a problem with my pekin hen. She does the mating dance then tries to mount my mallard hen. What is this about? Second problem my pekin hen acts just like a male, very agressive and is biting the necks of my 1 month old ducklings. They are only together when I'm there to...

Thank you!!!

This is a picture of my new babies.

How do I post a picture?

Hi, I have been just frantic waiting for my new 2 day old ducklings to arrive. THERE HERE!! The post office called me at 6:25am (I was up and waiting at 5:30am) to tell me they were there. She was so sweet, this is what she said after verifying my name and that I was indeed expecting these...

I just ordered 3 babies to go with my pekin and mallard. I already named them so I am praying they arrive safely. Their names will be "Talulah" meaning leaping water this will be a blue Swedish. "Coco" will be my buff. And "nefertari" for the Cayuga. I only have hens now I gave my drakes to a...

Did you order them from a hatchery that will ship them to you? If so which one? I am interested in getting 2 Cayuga ducks and I don't know which hatchery to trust. ALso, if anyone close to Morgantown WV has 2 Cayuga ducks that are hens I am interested in getting 2 that are around 3 or 4...

My drake mallard is "Tut" as in King Tut; my mallard hen is "Cleopatra". I have more Egyptian names picked out because I want a Cayuga hen to name "Nefertiry". I also have two pekins the drake is yella duck and the hen is popcorn. I want to get one more pekin hen and name her "Coconut"

Thanks again!

Thank you, I'll try the ideas everyone gave me. I purchased Diatomaceous earth but it says it is a diet supplement. Did I buy the wrong thing?

I have a drake and a hen mallard and a drake and a hen pekin. I know this is not ideal but it's what I ended up with. I'm not sure what to do. I dont' want over mating going on. So, there is a duck lady somewhere around morgantown wv I was wondering if maybe I should see if she would trade me...

I just built my duck house and pen, my ducks have not moved in yet, we are putting the roof on tonight weather permitting. But, I was wondering how to control the bugs and smell. I was going to use the deep litter method in the house intil I read that you will get nematodes . . . . . . ewwwwwww!!!!

Thank you all!!

Thank you both. I was also wondering if the list of what is safe for a chicken to eat is also so for ducks?

Hi all, My ducks are doing very well and are now 8 weeks old and I am in the process of putting their duck house and run together. I would like to plant a raised garden and also plants around the outside of the pen as well as some hanging plants inside the run. I found a thread called"What...
