Hi, I’ve got an Aylesbury which first pipped about 36 hours ago, after the other ducklings had hatched. It’s now day 30/31, and I attempted to assist it, but found that it was very ‘gunky’ inside the egg, and the membrane started to bleed a little so I’ve put it back into the incubator. The...

I've found this guy abandoned in a hedge by a busy road, so I'd just like a second opinion on its gender (sorry for the bad photo)...

So I have found an aviary for sale, and I have been intrested in getting a few ornamental waterfowl for a while now. I was thinking of Mandarins (since I've heard that they are good beginner ducks, Carolinas (Wood Ducks), or Fulvous/Blonde Tree Ducks. It's a 6 foot x 8 foot shed, with a 6 foot...

Hi, I've been intrested in Ornamental waterfowl for some time, and I've come across 6 Fulvous/Blonde Tree duck hatching eggs for sale. I'm struggling to find much infomation about them. A few questions: -I've got a reliable broody Silkie x Polish hen which I could try hatching the eggs under...

Today I let my Mini Lop doe, Flora (1.5 years old) out into the garden, for exercise, and whilst I was inside, my Holland Lop buck, Thistle (3/4 years) managed to escape from his hutch..... Before I managed to catch them, Thistle mated and fell off Flora twice :/. Flora has had a couple 'false...

Since my Welsh Harlequins are now laying regually and they are very fertile, I'm now offering some of my SQ Welsh Harlequin hatching eggs for sale. Out of the 7 eggs currently in my incubator, 6 are fertile and are developing nicely. I aim to breed my Welsh Harlequins as closely to the...

Yesterday afternoon, after much waiting and anticipation, my first Call Duck finally hatched, 3 days late! I had bought 6 White Call hatching eggs off eBay, and 5 made it to lockdown..... but only one hatched. Can anyone help me identify the colour? It looks like a blue or maybe...

I've got 5 White Call Duck eggs on day 26 (27 in a few hours), that are making no progress- although they are rocking, no pips yet...... I know I should give them a bit more time, but when should I intervine?? They are in a RCOM 10 pro, at 37.5*C and 70% humidity, and went into lockdown on day...

Hi all, I've been wondering, is it possible to sex-link calls? I recently read in "Storeys Guide to Raising Ducks" that if you breed: Black Drake x Chocolate Duck = Black female ducklings + Chocolate male ducklings (or visa-versa), just as how you can sex-link Campbells by breeding Dark x...

Hi, I'm needing some ideas for a duck grow-out pen. I hatch quite a few ducklings throughout the year, and sell most as day olds, but grow out batches of 2-10. For the first couple of weeks I a couple of 120cm by 60cm indoor rabbit cages with a cat litter tray covered with mesh for the water...

Hello All, I'm planning on piecing together a duck first aid kit, partly because I want to be prepared in case anything happens to my precious flock, and also some of the horror stories I read on here really freak me out :ep My current high-tech 'first aid kit' consists of: ACV. (Yep I'm...

So I have a Fawn and White Indian Runner egg which pipped 36 hours ago (beginning of day 28) but has made little progress. It's rocking and chirping a lot so think it's still quite strong. I am feeling reluctant to open the incubator because there are 5 other eggs which have recently pipped...

My 5 month old Welsh Harlequin drake bill has started to go dry and flaky over the last couple of days. Humphery is fed on a mix of wheat and Allen and Page duck breeder pellets (a high quality, organic feed). What could have caused this, and is there anything that I can do to help him, suck as...
