Does he/she quack or rasp? It looks like a young Saxony male, they have a darker brown/cream chest than females and the head feathers will eventually turn solid gray like my Male in the picture. Female feathers will lighten, just like the 3 in this picture. Either way, that is a beautiful...
I am trying to find a new home for some of my ducklings and I am not sure where to post this. I live in Lawrenceville, Ga and I am willing to drive within reason to relocate them. I have 3 Saxony ducklings/ducks. They are about 6 weeks old, hatched May 30th. Confirmed 2 females and 1 male. Pm...
I wish my Saxony girls were quiet, but they are a bunch loud mouth vocal old ladies, they will be a 1 y/o next month. Two of them are particularly noisy right now and the third just walks around grumbling under her ducky breathe. I keep expecting her to haul off and smack the other two into...
First off, wow. I hope your duckling is doing great and continues to do so. I have certainly learned a lot from reading this and it continues to amaze me just how resilient these little guys are.
My new Saxony ducklings got to have their first foray in grass. They hatched about 9 days ago, our first time incubating our Saxony eggs. I forgot how tiny they start out considering how big they get.:eek:
I'm sorry to hear about your eggs, don't feel to badly about second guessing yourself. I am no expert when it comes to this, this is my first time incubating eggs, but I am learning. I wasn't feeling all that great about their chance of still being viable but I wanted to make certain since we...
Sadly none of the eggs made it. :hit:hitWe waited through the entire lock down process and a little past or hatch date. There was no smell at all, but some dark spots. My husband took care of the eggs and he said that when he checked them, that they must have died just before we put them in...
Taking the extra piece out so the eggs are no longer turned, turning up temp in preparation of hatching, and making sure humidity is steady during the process.
My husband and I have duck eggs in an incubator and tomorrow we are supposed to go into lockdown mode. I'm very afraid that some or all of my eggs are no longer alive.:hit I'm pretty sure two of them are no longer alive, I see no veins of any kind, but there is no smell or leakage that I can...
The only thing that has changed and still ongoing is that I am redoing my backyard to make it more duck friendly and duck proof for my flower garden. They no longer have access to our in-ground pool because we are cleaning it out and getting it ready for the summer. We do not want them exposed...
I tried searching the forum for an answer, but I can't seem to find an answer. I am not sure if I should be concerned or not. I have four female ducks and they were doing great, I was getting 3 to 4 eggs a day no problem. All of a sudden, as in the last 3 days, I am lucky to get 1 egg at...
