Duck Eggs Are Late.
My welsh harlequin duck has been sitting on her eggs for 31 days now. I’m getting concerned that they aren’t going to hatch. When should I start worrying?- awyman

Sick / Injured Duck.
Couldn’t find a vet nearby, but we’re still on the hunt for one just to check on her. Treated her bumble foot, seems to be doing good, & her leg is doing good. It’s getting stronger every day. She has gained her weight back. Her eyes are getting better, and her feathers are looking better too... -
Sick / Injured Duck.
Called a vet today that’s 45 minutes minutes away from me. They can possibly squeeze her in on Thursday. I’d really like to start her on something so she can start feeling better. Any antibiotics I could give her? -

Sick / Injured Duck.
Thank you guys so much! I’ll get you pictures first thing in the morning. Still trying to get a vet that will treat her. I’ll get pictures of her eyes, foot, and just a picture of her in general. Thank you so much for your help and advice. Hopefully we’ll get through this! :) -
Sick / Injured Duck.
My year old duck became injured about 2 weeks ago. Something happened to one of her legs, but nothing appeared swollen, cut, or anything. She stopped walking, but could drag herself around. I separated her into a pen, and monitored her for a week. I started doing water therapy with her, but it... -
Found Duck Nest!
So early this afternoon I found one of my ducks in a empty dog box of ours. I was concerned that she was hurt, so investigated. She got up and walked away. I discovered she had 12 eggs she was laying on. Before I left I checked back to see if she went back in the box to lay on them but she... -
Missing Duck!
2 days ago, I noticed my female crested pekin was missing. I searched the whole area she’s kept in, no sign of her. As we were looking for her I made sure I looked for anything strange. But I couldn’t find any feathers or blood. She tends to wonder off by herself a lot, so I was wondering if... -
Need Help! What do I do about my aggressive drakes?
Update! We’ve started building a enclosure for the drakes. We built a nice size pond today, so they’d have access to a large supply of water. Already got their house built, just have to put fencing up. It’s going to be a fairly large enclosure so I hope they’ll be happy. Hopefully it’s only... -
Need Help! What do I do about my aggressive drakes?
For the past 3 months, my drakes have been super aggressive towards my females. Constantly trying to mate. I know that’s normal but it’s gotten worse and worse. I have more males than females, but at first it was fine. There was no overbreeding, no injured necks. Everything was fine. They have... -
Feather Loss.
As you can see from the picture she has some missing feathers on her wings, is this from drakes? Or from something else? I also don’t understand why her wings always look brown and muddy, she has a pond she can clean herself in. -
Drakes Bullying Female.
So I have a female that is getting picked on by my drakes. I have other females but they never bother them, only the one female. Today I noticed that she was missing a good bit of feathers on her wings and back. Should I spray poultry spray on them? I just want to make sure her skin and feathers... -
Beginner Duck Mom Question.
I have a couple questions as far as duck egg laying goes. The other day I found my first 3 duck eggs in a random spot in my duck enclosure. I collected them, and floated them because I wasn’t sure how long they had been there. They were perfectly fine. So I go back to the same spot the next... -
Too Late To Order Ducklings?
Thank you all for the advice! Also I wanted to share a recent picture of my ducks. :love -
Too Late To Order Ducklings?
I keep all my Ducklings in my home until about 4-6 weeks. Then move them to a large barn until most of their feathers come in. -
Too Late To Order Ducklings?
So I’m wanting to order about 9 female ducklings. I was thinking about ordering close to October to November. But I’m in WV, so I’m afraid it will be snowing by then and temperatures will be to low to ship live ducklings. Should I just wait till the spring? -
Winter With Ducks?
Thank you all so much! You’ve made me feel so much better about the upcoming winter. I’ll make sure I post some pictures of my ducks enjoying the snow when the time comes! :D -

Winter With Ducks?
Yep, they have a big barn that they share with our other livestock. Bedded heavily with straw in the winter. -
Winter With Ducks?
With summer ending, fall starting I’m starting to think about winter. This is my first winter with ducks. I’ve had chickens during winter but they stay in the coop all day when it’s super cold and snowing heavily. I’m scared about my ducks getting buried in the snow. I’m in West Virginia so...
