This season, the weather is changing and my flock is molting, but ever since the weather has changed, the rain has become really unpredictable and I haven’t been able to feed them some days because of storms and flooding. My one duck, Donny, recently has been losing a lot of weight, and his...

Earlier my broadbreasted turkey was facing off with one of my roosters through a fence. She was trilling and puffing up to intimidate him. My rooster then pecked at the fence and out of shock, she was sent backwards and she fell on her back. She started flapping and flailing and kicking. Her...

So I’m need to hatching eggs and the first ones that I hatched didn’t need any assistance at all. But on Wednesday evening I noticed an internal pip in one of my eggs, and all day yesterday it was making its way into the air sac. I could hear it peeping and pecking but this morning There’s still...

Does anyone know when chick days at TSC is this year? I’m hoping to get a bunch of new turkeys this year but I’m still waiting for it. My local store said it would be soon but I don’t know when that’ll be.

So I have maybe a half a week old duckling in my care and he’s been under a heat lamp, but this morning, there was a state wide power outage and we don’t know how long our duckling can go without the heat. It’s not that cold here but we need to be careful.

So maybe two weeks ago, I hatched out my first duckling. I usually purchase my ducklings from hatcheries, but my first duckling successfully hatched, after many failed attempts. See, my breeding drake has very strong genes, which In this case, isn’t a good thing. He’s had leg problems ever since...

Looking for two Welsh harlequin hens to even put out flock. We have an over abundance of drakes and have been wanting harlequins for a while. North west/southern Pennsylvania would be best. If possible, we’d like the ducks to be quarantined for a short time for bio security and health...

So I live on a medium sized farm, and I own a few rare breeds here. I love my birds. I mean I love them. I don’t sell them, I don’t butcher them, and I ethically collect and sell their eggs. I own two goats, ducks, chickens, quail, and one turkey. Ive been trying to breed some of the these rare...

So, in my flock the past year, we’ve hatched and grown many male ducks and its not a very good hen to drake ratio. I just found some welsh harlequins, (which I’ve wanted for a while), and we need to even out our flock with more hens, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to quarantine them for like a...

So I got this pair of suppose khaki campbell ducklings from a listing on craigslist a few weeks ago. Now these ducklings are starting to grow feathers and they look much more like dark Campbell feathers than khaki. Is it possible that this person accidentally gave me this rare breed?

I live in the north east of the United States and you wouldn’t think it, but it gets REALLY HOT here in the summer. Almost everyday is in the 90’s or the mid 80’s. Last mo two of my khaki Campbell ducks went broody and sat on two fertile eggs. Unfortunately none hatched. This month one of my...

So, I have multiple khaki Campbell’s and Pekin ducks and two of mine have recently mated. Astonishingly one of my Khaki Campbell ducks, Val, became broody almost twice in one month, as before she was less attentive to the nest than her girlfriend Carol. Last month when they were broody they were...

So I’ve had these two khaki campbell ducklings for about a month and I’ve just noticed that they have somewhat deformed legs. Ones legs are turned inward, which I know can be normal, but the other has very weirdly messed up legs. One leg is stuck going forward and the other is far behind. She...

For the past few weeks I have been observing my ducks pretty closely and noticed something about one of my hens. She has always had a somewhat pink/pale beak and I thought that it was just genetics. But now that I take a closer look, she has a much more angular head, a different slightly...

Last week I bought two little ducklings as replacements for some eggs that didn’t successfully hatch. I noticed this morning that one of their noses seemed to be running over their beak. It on,y looked like water at the time but seemed to be coming out of their nostrils. It only happened twice...

About a month ago, my two broody hens had Lauer two fertile ebbs that should have hatched over the past few days. Yesterday, the two eggs were moving and one was internally pipped, but was making no progress in pipping so I gently made an air hole, and hoped that the ducklings would hatch out on...
