    Hi there, I have ducklings hatching today or tomorrow in the incubator because my ducks weren't going broody. However about two weeks after putting eggs in the incubator, my ducks decided to build a nest and sit on their eggs. Now I'll have 2 batches of babies about 2 weeks apart. Will the...

    Wheezing duck with runny nose.

    Thanks I will try that! Were in the southernmost part of Canada so we dont get the snow that most of the province gets. They got their adult feathers a couple weeks ago and i have a nice warm coop for them :)

    Wheezing duck with runny nose.

    My 12 week old indian runner started sounding wheezy yesterday and shes been having a runny nose today. I brought her inside and her nares are clear. She almost sounds like my kids when they have the croup. I let her have a good bath and get dried off, and I gave her some acv in water. Anything...

    White runner with grey beak- cross or purebred?

    Is it common for a white runner to have a grey beak? Or do you think shes crossed with another breed? All the online examples seem to show white runners with yellow beaks :hmm

    Will ducks eat pumpkin?

    Did you cook it? I'm just thinking it would be kind of tough for them to eat raw

    Will ducks eat pumpkin?

    We have lots of pumpkins that will be left over from Halloween... can I cook them up and freeze them to give to my ducks throughout the winter?

    The quietest ducks

    I have 4 runners (3 hens, 1 drake). The girls can be loud when they're excited, hungry, etc but the male is very quiet and has a lovely temperament. They're not as loud as my neighbors big dog and I'd much rather hear ducks than dogs!

    Momma to 4 Indian Runners

    Hey everyone! I've been busy reading posts on here for the last couple months but finally decided to join! We started with 2 indian runner ducklings back in May, however when they were around 10 weeks old, a possum got both of them :( Our kids were devastated so we quickly had to find...

    "Quiet" 2 month old indian runner

    Hey all! I'm new to raising ducks and we got our ducklings at 4 weeks old and they are now around 10 weeks old. 3 of them make a definite "quack" sound now, but the biggest one of the bunch (I'm suspecting it's a drake) is very very quiet. He still makes duckling chirping noises and doesn't have...
