    Best crossbreeds for ducks?

    Hi I’m looking into many different breeds of ducks and really can’t decide on just one breed so are there any really cool cross breeds for egg production and beauty?

    Ancona Ducks not laying

    Last year I got 5 female Ancona ducklings in April. I sold 2 of them and kept the other 3. They began to lay at the end of September and then quit at the end of November. They had straw in their coop throughout this time, but once I ran out of straw, I switched to shavings. I prefer shavings and...

    I have four, 9 month old Ancona ducks. They started laying in October. I have one duck that laid smaller eggs and then she stopped until last month. Her first egg last month was pretty small and the bloom was a dark charcoal color. When I cracked the egg, the yolk had black specs on it. She’s...

    Feral cats

    Hello. The last couple weeks I have spotted a lone cat wondering around our property. I have kept my chickens locked up but my ducks wander around during the day. I was wondering if I have to worry about this cat. My 4 Ancona ducks are always together and quack at everything that moves. My dog...

    Ancona Duckling Colors (?)

    I hatched 3 precious Ancona ducklings over the weekend! First one named “Doctor” hatched on its own with the exception of my making a safety hole after internal pipping. I’m wondering what color doctor could be considering the s/he is ALL YELLOW AND PINK!!! Literally no markings whatsoever. And...

    I am looking to add a black or blue Ancona hen to my pet flock ideally by next spring. She will be spoiled with love while living together with 1 Ancona drake and 2 female ducks.

    What are the original flock sources for the Ancona?

    Do they all end up tracing back to Holderread? I saw somewhere in the Ancona Duck facebook group a mention of Ancona's being around on the United States east coast in the 1930's even though it's said they were only brought over from Britain in the 1960's. So that's one puzzle. Beyond that, I...
