The eggs are on about day 22 and the air cells look small like between days 10 and 18. how do i fix it? Or will i have to wait and see.

I have two cayuga eggs in a bator and can't reduce the humidity. There is no water in the bator at all. I live in Texas and the humidity is high all the time. It fluctuates between mid 40s and mid 50s. They seem to be doing ok but if it gets too high near hatch time couldn't they drown? This is...

I found this to be helpful on what ducks can and can't have. Hope it helps. I copied it from a site and I don't remember the site. Since I often see posts about what treats and supplements you can give your ducks, I thought I would compile them. There are many many food items you can give...

We got a little giant incubator the other day. Trying to get the humidity under control. It's staying around 51%. Got a book and read some threads about temp and humidity. I watched some YouTube videos on how to candle and check eggs for life. We had eight eggs in nests and wanted to check how...

My ducks were kept in a coop until their oil glands developed. I wouldn't even let them out of the coop to forage. We have Hawks and owls all over the place . So when it came time for them to be introduced to the pond they didn't want anything to do with it. That is until they saw another duck...

Yes I still have him. I would really like to find a good home for him. I can't keep him in our house because of our dogs. I can't put him out with the other ducks because he can't walk. I don't know what to do.

I have a two week old Cayuga duckling with badly twisted legs. I've tryed taping them together since day one. His left leg is twisted all the way up in his hock. We don't have the money to take him to the Vet. I'm trying to find a home around the Houston area for him. We don't know what else to do.

Not sure what hobbling is. We put his feet together in another shoe to try to bring them closer. And his legs are close together.

We had the shoes on for 3 days. He can't walk at all or get his legs under him. I put him on the floor to see if his legs got any better and to take the pix.

I took a couple pix when we took the tape off but I had to lighten them because he's all black and is hard to see. It looks like his lower legs are twisted outward. I couldn't get a good pix of the twists.

We were using medical tape around his legs but his feet still didn't face the right way. When we took the tape off it hurt him. We felt so bad. So we wrapped his legs with bandage first. But he/she, I'm just gonna call it a he for now, he slipped out of it. My boyfriend suggested trying...

It looks like its feet are turned. Will they straighten out?

It's legs don't really do much right now. All it can do is hop. The box it is in is plenty big with lots of moving around room. I put some B complex in its water. I had a little one from the original group I got with niacin deficiency. The B complex helped some until I could get Brewers yeast.

We had our first egg hatch the other day. A little black Cayuga. Only it was stuck down in the corner of the nest. When I picked it up its legs were spread so far apart I almost cried. I brought it inside a used medical tape to bring the legs closer together. I'm keeping it a box with water and...

we have a small pond with a good distance between it and the duck coop. We kept them penned up till they were fully feathered then let the coop open to the pond day and night. The area is fenced in and has electric wire running along the top and bottom of the 4 ft high fence to keep out predators.

It went away as sudden as it came. She doesn't seem be have any problems or irritation.

I have 4 cayuga ducks, two male ,two female. We have a small pond about 60 feet from thier coop. We also have welded wire and chicken fence around the pond all the way up to the coop. An electric wire runs along the top and the bottom of the fence to keep out raccoons, fox, cats, dogs, and what...

I have a Cayuga female with white in the front corner of both her eyes. Does anyone know what this is from. I'm afraid to take her to the vet because she is laying her first clutch of eggs.

I think one drake is mating with both females. And I don't see the females sitting on the eggs. Should I take the eggs out or let them go for a while. We have 13 eggs so far. This is thier first season as mature ducks. They are sleeping out by the pond instead of in the coop. Should I lock them...

I have two female Cayuga and two male. Everyone said to get and read Storey's book on Ducks. So I did. It didn't tell me a lot of what I need to know. My mother in law had a couple duck eggs she put in her hens nest to hatch but had to wet them every day. That's how I found out a duck needs...
