    Pekin duck laying soft egg shells/broken egg

    I think it’s called Oyster Shell. I purchase a small bag at Walmart when I had a female layer; now I have an all drake flock (only 3 left 😢). Anyway, I used to put a little in this little cat bowl I had next to their food and she loved it…never had a problem with eggs after that.

    Duck not waterproof

    I don’t have a Muscovy but do have a Khaki Campbell, which is part Runner; his name is Chocolate. He injured his leg a few weeks ago and now it’s completely paralyzed; therefore, he cannot groom himself properly. How can I help him? He will hold in his poop until someone puts him in a pool, as...

    ANYONE FROM LOUISIANA ?

    I hate to even ask this question. My husband and I have a few ducks left, three all male. We got rid of the females; they were aggressively matting with the ones we had and one passed. We found it best to keep the last original drake from when we started our flock and the last two that...

    Injured Duck

    I guess I’m trying to see if there’s anything we can buy or make to help our injured duck get around on his one leg?

    Injured Duck

    It’s been a while since I have posted; I reduced my flock to 3 drakes a few years ago and haven’t had any trouble with them, until recently. One of my drakes, Chocolate (Khaki Campbell, 5.5-6 years old), started limping last week. Last time this happened and we took him to the vet there wasn’t...

    Help!!! Drakes Chasing & Biting Me

    Thank you, but I was hoping for a different solution, as we would need to get close to 12 females to appease them and I don’t want to add to this flock. These are out pets and not something we do for any other reason. Still hoping for other options.

    Help!!! Drakes Chasing & Biting Me

    My husband and I have been raising ducks for the past few years. We’re down to an all male flock, they were being too aggressive with one or two females only, so we decided to rehome the 4 females and 1 male (Jack & the Uh-Uh’s, lol). We’re down to 3 drakes: Khaki Campbell- “Chocolate,” and 2...

    Drakes Fighting

    I haven’t posted for quite some time. My mother is and mentally challenged niece have come to live with us a little bit as my mom recovers from a stroke she had in July, and over the holidays, we found out she has cancer. My ducks have been my happy place when I feel overwhelmed, which is often...

    Odd Drake Question Regarding Neutering

    I have an all drake flock. I lost my female, and didn’t realize how badly losing her would hurt. My drakes were overly aggressively mating the other females, who were too young, therefore, I rehomed the females and the one male they were with and I had 5 drakes but one disappeared in the middle...

    How long do Indian Runners take to hatch their eggs?

    Personally, I wouldn’t take her off the eggs. We hatched a couple batches that also said 28 days for our Pekin duck, these were hybrid eggs, not sure if that mattered. We did have to incubate, as our Goldie didn’t have any interested in sitting on hers. Ours didn’t begin to hatch until day 31...

    Duck eye infection

    I’m hoping someone might read this. Our nearest vet that will treat our ducks is about 2 hours away. I do have Polycin ophthalmic ointment; I also have Mupirocin ointment, and I have a triple antibiotic ointment as well. I have an all drake flock 4 in total. Their house has been split in half...

    need help my duck has a broken leg

    I know this is an old post but the epsom salt helps alleviate some of the pain for the ducks. I have always found the easiest way is an epsom salt soak. I get a small bucket, like I think it’s a 3 gallon one, add really warm water and epsom salt…I put my baby’s bottom in so his feet are...

One side belongs to our Khaki Campbell, Chocolate & Mallard, Half-Pint, their side is called Pint O’ Choc and the other side is for our Rouen ducks, we...

    Chicken disappeared without leaving a trace

    The same thing happened with my Cayuga duck the night before last between 2-5:00 am. We have woods behind our house and it’s been a while since I’ve heard any coyotes but owls, we do have them. There were 3 of my ducks out but the Cayuga was the biggest and slowest. I didn’t see any coyote...
