Just about twenty minutes ago, my male call duck was chasing me around the yard, biting at my ankles behind me. I had never stepped on anything, but I think he might've hit his leg on a cinder block in my backyard. About a meter away I stopped to see him lifting one leg. I got worried, and...

I have a female Buff Orpington duck and she has laid 21 eggs. I don't have an incubator, should I let her incubate or buy one? I check on them in the morning and they are a little cold, but they get warmer throughout the day. I don't see her sit on them during the day. I think she incubates them...
I have a 11 month old call drake and a buff duck hen. My hen flirts with him, she'll bob her head and nibbles at him in the pool.... she'll dissapear into the pool for 5 seconds and bite his feet and than come back onto the water laying completely flat.. the male shows no intrest except for...
Tips needed! My buff orpington hen is now laying eggs. Currently i'm in southern alberta and its getting hot. ( 28 celcius ) I have no idea if the eggs are fertile or not. I have one hen and one drake. The drake is call mix. I don't have an egg candler, how could I tell fertility without a...
I have a female buff duck laying now. She laid her first egg out of the spring season! I got her and set her by her nest to see if she was going to incubate it. She just looked at it and walked away! We have a male call duck x pekin and i have never seen him mate her before, but nibble her neck...

I need some help here. My rouen Moonlight, died in her pen 3 weeks ago. My buff is devastaded. She quacks very loud, doesn't eat. But I want to know how she died, she was lying face down, and laid quite a lot of eggs. She started outstrechting her neck the night before, and started laying on her...
Incubator is OUT.
Nothing like that excitment of that first egg! And some more?! Should I leave them in her nest so she can lay one by one until all are laid and she can incubate them?
CONFUSED.
About Saturday we had our first egg. The thing is, 'bout a day earlier this Rouen mounted my Buff. My rouen had a green bill with black spots. No curly feather on its tail, and a small sheen of green on his/her neck.
Please help??
So this afternoon with their daily bathtub time, my orpington mounted my female rouen. My orpington ( Toffee ) s attitude would be nipping at my face, quite often. Is he in his eclipse plumage?
I am confused! I was just sitting, watching my ducks flap around and get clean in their pool. I have two hens; one buff, one Rouen. All of a sudden, my buff ( toffee ) begins to chase her out, and get on top an be very violent in trying to mate. Some help?!
I am trying to rename my duck from his lame name Bear. Would like some votes!
Also, cannot tell if he/she is a female buff or a male buff! Comment below.
Hi, I have two juvienile ducks, one hen and one drake. The hen is a Rouen and my Drake is a Orphington. What do they look like? Any information about this cross? My Orphington seems to protect my Rouen. Is that a sign that she is laying? I can fit roughly four fingers in her pelvic bones, and...
