Breed identification of day-old ducklings
At TSC there were assorted ducklings. The ducklings appeared to be blue swedish, and maybe saxony or F&W runners today. I am NOT good with identifying ducklings (yet) so I stood there scrolling through several websites showcasing ducklings. I chose to buy what I think is an Ancona, and the is...- NewJourney

Ancona hen with HUGE wattles and comb...
She is my only white egg layer, and has been laying last year and just started up again. I know Anconas are supposed to have big floppy combs but hers are gimongous with super big wattles(see photo) and she looks like a rooster! She has also started to boss the other chickens around more. She is...- KerriChick

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!

Do ducks change color after molting??
Okay. So I have ducks. 2 pekin drakes that are in a separate space, and then 1 khaki Campbell hen and 2…/unknowns. Well I know 1 is a hen and 1 is a drake but no idea on breed. I got them at Atwood’s, in a straight run duckling bin. I thought the gal was a blue Swedish but she doesn’t have a... -

We got to pick up our ducklings from the post office this morning. I was thrilled to find all happy, noisy, spring-loaded babies when we opened the box.

Drake Penis Turning Yellow
I've had some issues with my Ancona drake, Bitsy, for the last week. Last Saturday I noticed he was hanging his penis out and doing this pulsing thing with his tail area like he was trying to poop. It was also very warm to the touch and swollen. I took him to the vet and got an anti-inflammatory... -
