I searched the forums prior to posting this but I either didn't type in the correct words or does not exist. Anyhow... I just ordered some Mallard ducklings from Metzer. I have raised Cayugas, Blue Swedes, Golden Layers, Khaki Campbells, Rouens and Pekins. I noticed the Cayugas take to the...

I am a duck novice. Only in the past year have I discovered the awesomeness of ducks. Still, I have some observations of ducklings from Metzer. 1 Buff, 2 Blue Swedes, 4 Khakis, 2 Golden Layers and 1 Cayuga. I have tried in the past year to see what will calm a duckling down. I've spent a lot...

Here is a video I took tonight of a Blue Swedish duckling in the incubator on Day 29. It externally pipped and 36 hours later started to zip. We lightly helped clean some loose shell away and used a q-tip to lightly coat the membrane/chick with bacitracin because we noticed it appeared to be...
