    Left home for 12 days...

    Came home to 15 duck eggs! They weren't laying yet when I left. I have two hens who were hatched in May. Was surprised the woman who came to feed them and let them out each day didn't gather the eggs since I'd told her she could have any eggs they might lay while we were gone. Also surprised by...

    Noise question

    So everything I've read says the girls are louder. But with my flock of two boys and two girls it always seems to me like the boys are way more vocal and noisy. The girls can be louder than the boys if they want to, like, my Pekin can honk really loud, but most of the time the two girls just...

    Sometimes I think my Pekin is trying to attain wizard status with all the feathers she covers her bill in 😆 anyone else have ducks that keep their bills adorned in feathers? (I know the answer to that is yes lol, let's see some pictures!)

    Blue swedish markings

    I've done some internet searching and not found photos of ducklings with the same markings as mine. So I'm curious if anyone else has blue swedish with markings like this and did they stay into adulthood? This is Jeffrey with his racing stripes and Jemima with her eyeshadow :p is there a chance...

    New member, been lurking for a while :)

    Hi everyone! I just joined here the other day but I've been reading posts here for a while now. I've wanted ducks for years and just finally became a homeowner a few months ago so now I'm finally able to have them. I have 4 ducklings that I got on May 14 and were 1-5 days old when I got them...

    Is this a prolapse?

    A few hours ago I was holding one of my ducklings and noticed she felt swollen underneath and behind her legs. I flipped her (well, maybe him?) over and found this. At first I thought it was a tick but it's not. Is this a mild prolapse? She/he is about two and a half weeks old. If it makes a...
