I'm close to Louisville KY and we are supposed yo get down to -20 with the wind chill. I can't get a heat lamp out yo my coop. :( I covered the outside area in plastic and put down a thick layer of straw but I'm sick to my stomached worrying about my ducks.

I'm in Kentucky and we are about to drop into the negatives. I've covered the outside part of my ducks' pen in plastic and laid down a lot of dry straw. Right now I am letting them roam as normal because it isn't too cold yet. When the temperature starts to drop I will put them up in there...

I have this problem EVERY TIME I bring in a new baby, male or female. My male cayuga is brutal! They do end up getting along but it takes a while. I normally have to keep them separated until they are close to four months old. Then I start putting the "baby cage" next to the coop at night so...

You might want to start with your local animal control or fish and wild life department.

I live near boat docks off the Ohio river and we have people drop off Ducks (pekins) and Geese that don't look like the wild ones all the time

Thank you! I love the color of the males but I needed to make sure at one of these two were female! I have two onry males already

Thank you! Wish these two would quack more so I can hear their voices! They both are pretty much silent. My swede is this way too. I think she is teaching them Ninja Duck skills

This is Billie, he/she is 11-12 weeks old. Does it look like a female? No sign of a drake feather at all and no change in color yet? At this age would I see a change? She/he is ALWAYS quiet so I can't do a voice check. Very sweet baby and will still come to me unlike most "teenage" ducklings I...

Penkins - Daisy, Bowser and Sassy. Cayuga - Max (short for Maxwell House), Crested Swedish - Puff, I know so creative , Rouen - Billie and a black and white questionable breed named Spot!

Any idea what breed the black and white one is? Both of these babies are about 11 weeks old. Does the Rouen (my guess on breed) look to be a female? And is that a possible drake feather on the other one? My Cayuga drake tries to breed with the black and white one all the time and next to my...

Just an update. I had 8 babies total. I gave three to my friend and here are the other five going for their first swim ...

I use Moleskin pads and badage tape. I found the moleskin ideal while searching the net. It is the pads that you get for caluses on your feet. It is really sticky and can be cut to fit. I used tape just to keep any sticky over hang clean. He has had them on for a day. Oh and it ended up only...

I am afraid that the curly toes could be because of momma. I have 2 female pekins and both had eggs in the bator. out of these five babies I had 3 pekins. The first pekin looks great but both of the last two have curly toes. Now last year I hatched two eggs from the same female. This was the...

The third one hatched with the help of baby number two! He looks like he may have curly toes but I will deal with that tomorrow. This has been a long day and I am heading to bed for a few in hopes that the last two hatch soon. Thank you all again!

Well I helped out a little more and one more hatched. The others are still moving and trying to advance on their own and the two that have hatched are trying to help them out some. That being said, it looks like I have a Swedish/Penkin mix and a Penkin! I don't think this swede got his momma's...

Will keep you all posted!
