In the below picture we have a coop & we normally have it FULLY covered besides the front for air & ventilation- on sunny days, we pull the tarp half over like shown below for the ducks to get the light & enjoy the nice day. Every time it rains, we of course have it full covered besides the...

I have a question about the Oxine that I have. I know you can mix 1/8 tsp per gallon of water for them to drink. Does that get into their system and help them with diseases such as respiratory when they drink? And does it have to be activated or non activated when you put it in water for them to...

Can someone tell me what my duck is doing in the attached video? It also appears that he’s sneezing/coughing but didn’t catch that on video. Also, you can hear them breathing. Is that normal? The duck has never done this before but I’ve been able to hear them breathe for a while now.

Good Day- Is it okay to put Oxine in my ducks water? I have read that Oxine helps break down the slime build up in their waterer container. If its okay to put Oxine in their waterer, how much per gallon should i use? Thank you in advance.

Hi! I think my ducks may have a cold or a respiratory disease. I can hear them breathing. They seem like they have stuffy noses. Other than that, they seem just fine! They get baths about 3 times a day and eat and drink just fine. Energy levels are completely normal too. I’m just wondering what...

3 ducks seem to have a respiratory infection; 2 Indian Runners & 1 is a Mallard. They all seem to have a wheezing breathing noise, but the 1 Indian runner seems to be panicking / panting while breathing heavy with its mouth open. They are all 4-5 weeks old. Would anybody know any type of at...

Good Day Everyone- Correct me if i'm wrong but once the ducklings are at 3 months old and the outside temp is over 50 degrees, they are able to be transferred outside to live. We currently have 4 ducks, 2 Mallard and 2 Pekin. I am currently looking around for Duck coops to get ahead of the...

I just had a Mallard duckling hatch on September 10 along with 2 other ducklings that are Pekin ducklings. We will soon have an Mallard egg hatching near September 28. My concern is once the September 28 egg hatches, he will need to start off on starter feed while the other 3 older ducklings...

It’s day 33 of hatching and my mallard duckling hasn’t even piped yet. When we try tapping on the egg shell, we don’t hear a chirp or anything. When we try candling it, we don’t see movement. It also has a black spot inside the shell that has been there for a few days now. We had another egg...

We recently just hatched a mallard duckling 2 days ago and he’s the sweetest little thing. He hatched all alone and has been by himself now for 2 days. Our neighbors just surprised us with 2 new ducklings that are pekin. The mallard duckling keeps running away from the new pekin ducklings and...

I’m new to hatching and I want to know, Is it ok to have a hatching duck egg to have an exposed membrane inside an incubator? It’s exposed in the zip form all around. The membrane dried out so I had to peel some shell away and moisten it up with a Q-Tip and warm water then put it back in. It’s...
