2 pet male ducks- one won’t stop trying to mate the other
I have 2 pet male ducks. Got them as ducklings and both turned out to be males. I used to have 3 but the one died before I knew the gender. I have one bigger male and one smaller male who is not all there in the head. The bigger one is now constantly grabbing on the small one’s neck and tries... -

Duck with Possible Angel Wing
I posted on the duck forum first, but was advised to post here. I have an exactly six week old ancona duckling that I think may have angel wing. I got three others at the same time, and fed them the same, and they do not appear to have the same issue. Is this angel wing? Should I try and treat...- RidiculousName

Hello from Ohio!
Hi there! Not super great at introductions but I'm dublinducks, and as I'm sure you can gather from that name, I love ducks! Last May we purchased six Ancona ducklings, and a few months later we rescued two special needs Pekins, Winky and Wonky (who are blind and lame, respectively). We really...- dublinducks

What breed and or gender?
Today I had 1 duckling hatch, the other duck eggs didn’t hatch. I’m not sure what breed it is…. Any ideas? Magpie or Ancona? Would love to know if it’s a male or female but I know it’s kind of early to tell. Thanks- Quacking ducks

Ancona Duck with yellowing of eyes and bumblefoot
Help! I got an Ancona female a couple weeks ago and just noticed today she has bumblefoot, so I am treating and she is in a dog kennel on dry straw inside the duck run. I’ve noticed since I’ve got her that the white of her eyes are yellow. Is this normal with this breed? She still acts the same... -

My Drake goes loony around the water bowl
It doesn't happen every day, but maybe once a week. My Drake goes flappy, gets the zoomies, and tries to stick his breast into the water bowl. There's a lot of beak opening and running in circles. He has two water sources out of the coop that he can fit his whole body in and get way more zoomie... -
I think someone abandoned a domestic duck at my neighborhood lake?
So at around 8:30 pm i was on a walk with my family and we noticed a duck in someone’s yard. This isn’t uncommon since our neighborhood backs up to a lake but it was odd because this duck looked a lot different than our usual (black and white, splotchy) and seemed very friendly. He followed us...- whatduckisthis

Duck Tail Feathers Breaking
I have a healthy, energetic, active Ancona duck, about 9 months old. He grew out his lovely flush of adult tail feathers around July 2020 (pic 1); however, they quickly started breaking about halfway up the shaft (pic 2). Some of them break much closer to the bottom of the shaft. Since then... -

Second Time’s A Charm?
I’m getting ready to attempt to incubate Ancona duck eggs for the second time. My first DIY incubator was a bust. I made it out of a 10gal aquarium, and I think it just made it too hard to keep the temp steady. My new one is a styrofoam cooler. Plus I added a computer fan. I’ve been running it...- Small Town Chic Farms

Ancona Colorings
Does anyone know how to determine color in Ancona? I think I have 1 black, 3 chocolate, and then I’m not sure if the other 2 are lavender, lilac, or silver. I don’t think there are any blue.

Pekin Ducks vs Ancona Ducks
I have always had chickens, but a few months ago I took over 6 Pekin ducks for a friend who got them for Easter (I did not think people were still irresponsible enough to do that) and didn't know what to do with them once they grew substantially in just 3 weeks. Turns out I have 3 hens and 3...- Kitty_stuber

Hello! I'm a first time duck and chicken owner and I have a question. I have 2 Anconas, 1 Cayuga, and 1 Rouen ducks and recently I've been hearing a deeper kinda quack-like noise coming from one of my ducks, I believe it's Patty the Ancona, however I read that ducklings don't get their voice...
