This morning I found a regularly sized egg in the middle of the duck pool. After picking it up I realized that it has no shell! It was all squishy and leathery! She is in her third year of lay and this has never happened before! Or it could be possible that my 6 mo buff drake is really a duck...
Hello! I have a beloved pet chicken. I love her, but now she crows! So now we have a RIR rooster on our hands! We have tried numerous sanctuaries and no one can take him! Please if you are going to eat him do not ask! He needs a good home! Me and my mother and siblings love him to death! He...
Sorry those aren't ayles buries. They don't have a keel. Those are definitely Pekins or jumbo Pekins. Here look at this link, it's from the uk as well, http://www.aylesburyducks.co.uk/
Aww good! It looks more like a pekin then aylesbury though. Aylesburies have pink bills. If u could post a picture of the body we could see for sure.
HollyDuckFarmer: the coloration of the ducks is not why they are in that order. It's the size, disposition, temperament, etc. Pekins tend to be...
I have a whole technique worked out cuz occasionally I'll have to babysit my teachers ducks in my coop. I've found that the group you introduce has to be a smaller group than the existing flock by at least 1. Then just throw them together. When they settle down add the rest one by one. So in...
Awwww Im sorry that's horrible! You did I all you could and I'm sure he had a happy life until then!!! Don't feel bad! Calls are fragile babies and they are very very hard to rear!!
My ducks attack and beat up the dogs and have killed mice and songbirds and one time a chipmunk. They can be vicious and I would worry about a kitten. Maybe an older cat with plenty of hiding spots.
Mine lay on their backs stretch out their wings and quack for me to tickle their tummies! Their so weird but I love them! I do the same thing! I have like a whole closet full of duck shoes and scarves and dresses and tuxes that I make for them! Mine stay outside for the most part though. They're...
Brewers yeast tablets for extra niacin and chicks aver should do the trick. On yeast tablet for every 1/4 cup of food. If on short notice try sugar water or watered down Gatorade. Good luck and adorable baby!!!!!
You people are brave! I don't have any pics right now but my run is 12x12 hardware cloth and 2x4s with a wire and paver skirt around it, combination locks and love video cameras! I'm soo paranoid though. They NEVER free range unless I'm literally staring at them full time. I'm a bit safety...
I raised one duckling successfully. He came everywhere with me and was imprinted to me. Sometimes the dog would sleep in with him and keep him company. I gave him toys and he did just perfect. He had a friend for the first few day but we had to give her away. After that he was fine alone. At...
My Pekins I got as adults and they are very shy. My buff is soooo sweet! We play hide and seek ll the time! I run into the tall grasss and lay down while he waits on the driveway, then I call his name once and he quacks and runs and finds me!! The pekins are skittish but once you catch them...
