I too have Appleyards and now have offspring. I wish to keep a few and sell the rest. I sat all morning watching them. I have some that are 8 weeks and some that are 4 weeks. It just left me more confused trying to to figure out who's a drake and who's a hen.
Does anyone know if like a muscovy...

I'm having trouble learning how to post pictures correctly so ....
Here are some pictures of her from my Facebook, I have it set to public so you can see.
Update: I took Lucky Duck to The Wildlife Center of Virginia. It was hard, but it was the best thing for Lucky Duck! She will get lots of great vet care there and they are keeping me posted. If it turns out she is of a domestic breed of mallard, they will let me adopt her back, if she is a...
Thanks Amiga! :) I will check out the duck forum as well. The bandage we dressed her with didn't last long so we rethought and decided to leave the bandage off. I did clean it with saline then sprayed the vetericyn, and put antibiotic ointment on the wound. The foot is gone. She has a little bit...
Friend of ours called us earlier today from town, a mallard was trying to cross the street in full blown traffic. She was wobbling and they realized she was missing most of one of her legs :( we got there as fast as we could and retrieved her. We noticed that this wound was about a 2-3 days old...

For whatever reason, probably operator error. Lol I seem to only be able to upload one picture, as soon as I figure it out I would be happy to share pic' s of my beautiful feathery friends, and the garden too. Thank you all for all the warm welcomes. :)

Hi TwoCrows, thank you for such a warm welcome! Yes I do can, and I also am fond of the blanch and freeze method, when I am short on time. This year I am going to attempt making pickled watermelon rind. I hear it is a true delight. :)
So glad I found this forum! I'm looking forward to learning and sharing my experiences with you.
I am a novice gardener doing raised beds this year. Last year I did rows and I didn't fair so well. So I took my approx 80x40 garden and put 34 - 4x4 raised beds in. I have about 3 foot walkways...
