    Cordless Heated Waterer Recommendations?

    Does anyone know of any good cordless heated waterers that would work for ducks? It has to be able to survive Wisconsin winters (potentially -40° temps). I'm going need to move my ducks to an area too far from my house and garage to plug in my current heated waterer.

    Frostbite or Natural Coloring?

    I can’t tell if my duck has some frostbite on her feet or if it's just the color of her feet. I know when she was a duckling she had some black on the webbing but I don't pay close enough attention to her feet to know now.

    Looking for any info on pool filters

    Does anyone filter their ducks' above ground pool? I have one for my ducks, its not huge, but it still takes a while to drain and fill back up. Is it worth it? Where can I find a filter and what's the price range? Anything else I should know about filters?

    Call duck coloring?

    Not quite, one is definitely a splash. But the other I have no clue. Maybe a snowy, except it was solid yellow before it started getting feathers

    Newbie here! Call duckling questions

    I don't feed my ducks at scratch grains. As long as they have the right levels of protein and vitamins they should be fine.

    Newbie here! Call duckling questions

    The screaming is definitely normal, mine do that when I leave (my ducklings hatched May 20 too!!). As far as I know is just means they like you! I use pine shavings in my brooder and haven't had any problems with them eating it. Are they the first ducks you've ever had?

    Call Duck Dilemma, Hen to Drake ratio

    Black east indie ducks are a other bantam breed that could be a good addition to your flock (they're also a very pretty color). However, I don't know of any hatcheries that sell them. You might need to separate your hen from the drakes if they're getting too aggressive. If the female isn't with...

    Does anyone have pictures of 4 week old pastel, splash, and white call ducklings? I'm trying to figure out what color my ducklings and can only find pictures of young ducklings or fully feathered ducks.

    Embryos/Ducklings Dying late in incubation

    Call ducks are notoriously hard to hatch. Since they have a very short beak they usually need help hatching. Once they internally pip, I remove the shell around the air cell for them and use a qtip to wet the membrane with vasline. You need to make sure you only remove shell that has detached...

    Duckling With a Deformed Beak

    It has not, it will most likely finish hatching later today or some time tomorrow. Other than the beak it seems perfectly fine, it's made the same progress as the rest of the ducklings and is moving around.

    Duckling With a Deformed Beak

    One of my call ducklings that's hatching had a deformed beak. The beak is crooked, the tongue is sticking out, and looks too small. It hasn't hatched yet, but what do I need to do to help it once it does? You can kind of see the tongue sticking out in the picture

    Duck egg stopped developing/died?

    I'm wondering why two out of seven of my call duck eggs in the incubator died? I would guess they were somewhere between 8-12 days old when they stopped developing. The rest of the eggs look totally fine and I've hatched two other batches of eggs and no dead embryos. Is it just something that...

    Help! Drakes picking on duck hen

    My two drakes have been picking on one of my 3 hens. They aren't overmating her but it does look like the feathers on the side of her chest are getting pulled on. They run at her when she gets near and peck at her. I will be getting more ducks to even out my ratio and I ordered a crate for drake...
