Introducing...
Introducing my new hatch of Aylesbury x Runner ducklings (+1 or 2 Aylesburys). They are absolutely stunning and I will be sorry to see them go when they sell, although I do have a favourite, the very dark one in the middle, and might keep that one. I have also decided that the collective... -
Pekin Duck with Eye Infection - please help!
I have used chloramphenicol eye drops on my animals with eye infections (and my children, husband and me when advised by the pharmacist) which I find much easier than ointment. It effectively does the same thing as the terramycin (had to look it up) just the drops are easier and quicker to... -
I just killed it!
Ive had a couple like that too in the past. Its still heartbreaking. -
I just killed it!
I dont wash them if I dont have to.... But my girls are completely and right royally disgusting (completely happy l though, like pigs in, well, mud!) and these particular eggs were absolutely caked. Honestly they looked like mud rock. -
I just killed it!
@Miss Lydia not even close. 2 weeks absolute max. Incubation time so at least 2 weeks to go. -
New Duck breed: Brown Sprinkled White Layer
I think I have some similar to that. Ive also got some "mudcake billed ducks" -
I just killed it!
OK so I just really wanted a rant. So every day I collect my duck eggs, except for the last two weeks two of my girls have been sitting and I have just left them to it in the top of the coop. My other girls have continued to lay in the bottom and I have been collecting those. So today I... -

Help! Mandarin duckling with gammy leg/foot
I concur that it's an injury. As i said i initially started treating it as if it were a break, assuming he got stomped or squished or twisted by the other ducklings. I still think it is a break but since I contacted our local exotic vet to ask a question about pinioning and they didnt even... -

Possibly being too concerned about duck behaviour?
Its when those beady eyes... Or rather that single sideways looking beady eye sizes you up and makes you wonder who is in charge of whom. Lol... Ducks are crackpots. One minute they dont want you near them, the next they are under your feet. They will go on the new areas once they get... -
Help! Mandarin duckling with gammy leg/foot
Yesterday there was nothing... In the first pics the ankle is swollen and bruised but the foot was dry, pretty much crispy but since I put him back with the others it is now warmer, hydrated, like all of a sudden the blood flow returned. So here is a vid of him getting about. Dont judge, there... -
Help! Mandarin duckling with gammy leg/foot

Mixed breed ducks
Ok well when he or she gets her feathers you are all gonna have to guess what on eartg she is! These are last years' Aylesbury Runner crosses. You can see dark spots that stayed into adulthood, but the ayelsbury is strong in these ones -
Substrate cleaning
Ive seen a few threads on the various substrates people use but I wanted to probe a little deeper. My duck pen to house them over night is just basically mud. Their pond is in the pen as is their "coop" . It's a sod to clean out or even go and fetch eggs. What substrate do you use and how do... -
Worried is this molting
Probably moult but mine look pretty rugged if they are being mounted a lot too. -
Help! Mandarin duckling with gammy leg/foot
I tell a lie. My hubby was up first and told me he had died. Limpy is still going, the foot is soft again and he is full of gusto! One of them did pass away... It was bendy! The other one with a form of wry neck that I was originally going to ask about. -
