    Yolk sac still attached??

    Thanks. He was alert and chirping and moving and did ok for a bit then we went out to check on him and he was gone :( I read where it’s kind of 50/50 on of they survive or not. I was really hoping he/she would make it.

    Yolk sac still attached??

    My husband found this duck in the coop still half in its egg in the mud :( he peeled some of the egg off not thinking. What do I do?? It’s now on a towel under the heat lamp. Do I try to feed it later?

    How long can eggs go without mamma sitting in them?

    It’s been on the high 80s for a few weeks with today being a tad cooler and rain this morning. I saw movement in some eggs while candling a few before I let the ducks back in so I hope that’s a good sign!

    How long can eggs go without mamma sitting in them?

    I have a momma duck that has been sitting on eggs for a few weeks, I have been candling them once in a while when I am able, and they all look viable. My husband sprayed the coop wall with raid due to a wasp nest and kicked the birds out for a few hours so they wouldn’t be around the fumes. I...

    How long are duck eggs good for if left in the coop??

    If you put them in a pan of water and they float to the top, they are old and no good. If they sink, they are still good.

    How long are duck eggs good for if left in the coop??

    We cleaned out the duck coop this morning. All together we found almost 2 dozen eggs! I know some are less than a week old and I left them thinking they were being sat on but I don’t think they are. We pulled over a dozen out from under the ramp from the entry way going outside the coop...

    First predator incident :(

    I was looking for ideas of things to put around the yard and coop that might scare off other animals. Flags are a good idea. Maybe scare crows or things that move?

    First predator incident :(

    Well as of now it seems to keep critters out. It was when the ducks were outside of the pen roaming the yard, something got them.

    First predator incident :(

    My husband works with a guy who had a bat in his house. The Wholee family had to get the rabies series as a precaution. I never knew you had to if it was just caught in your house. When I was a kid, we had a fireplace and once every few years we would get one trapped in the house. Never got...

    First predator incident :(

    I did actually call the vet when it happend and she didn’t mention anything about watching for signs of disease... I wasn’t sure if ducks could get rabies even.

    First predator incident :(

    Absolutely! I wasn’t sure if water fowl could get rabies or not. I know bats are carriers bit not sure if birds can get it. I did have quite a bit of blood all over me from both of them but it was right after the incident.

    First predator incident :(

    I did think about that too. I’m keeping them in the coop for a while and they don’t mingle with our other pets.

    First predator incident :(

    About 24 hours after, both Pekins are outside in the outside enclosure and moving around. Not sure if they are eating or drinking but they are doing much better than I thought they would. Fingers crossed!
