Hello, my female khaki decided to have babies in the middle of winter. She barely became an adult in Sep. she had 9 eggs 2 hatched on the 6th sadly between the cold and their father they died, a third egg hatched later that day and that baby is fine and thriving at 5 days old now. She had 2 eggs...

I was planning to get 2 female ducks. 1 khaki Campbell, and 1 Pekin. Today my grandmother came in and handed me a box that had 2 ducks inside. I asked her what kinds they are and she doesn‘t know, but says that the man told her they were both female. Is there any way to find out what kind of...

Howdy! I’m Gabi, the proud mom of two happy khaki Campbell ducks, Mochi and Macchiato. And I can’t say I’m the ordinary duck mom. I’m in my senior year of highshool, with a passion for all things that involve farm animals. I grew up with ducks yet once they passed, we never got any new ones. :(...

I found my duckling Little Foot back on the 15th. I went to the run to return a baby I had hatched (its shell had been badly broken and I repaired and incubated it {foreshadowing}) and saw a little duckling not moving. I picked her up and saw her yolk was still attached. My girl Eyebrows is a...

I'm new to this so I hope I'm doing the right thing, but if not please tell me! My first broody bird ever just hatched 4 beautiful babies! She's a pekin Swedish blue cross and she hatched 4 fine, and I had to help the last one because she kept getting up and it got shrink wrapped. She is ok...

Penny, my blind duckling, has little whitish spots around her vent. Is it just dried poop or mites/eggs of some sort? Thanks

This little guy is the only one who hatched out of 9 eggs. (Only 1 other duckling pipped and sadly it died not long after it pipped externally) Once this little guy made a hole big enough, I can see that his beak is injured. It looked skinned and raw. After being pipped externally for almost 2...

Hi, There's a duck outside our home that just had babies (13 total aprox). Apparently a baby duck from another mother joined their group, we think is not hers cause of the difference in sizes, color and specially cause the mother pecks the baby constantly (hard). Not sure what to do, should we...

I have 5 ducks mixed breeds, one is a male. A few of the female ducks started nesting. A few babies have hatched, but they didn't make it. One died very young not sure how. Another looked good, had the yellow down and the mother kept burying it and sitting on it with her other eggs. I thought...

Okay so i have 3 big problems rn. So I went to collect the eggs and noticed my 10 year old barred rock chicken combs was in a weird position on the ground, looking very tired, breathing irregular, and the position she had was almost like she wanted to lay an egg. Her crop was empty so I took...

I recently got 2 ducklings! They are really young... Like just under 3 days old! So they obviously do not have their adult feathers or the oil that they need in order to not sink immediately. I was not planning on letting them swim yet, but for future reference... when is it ok to let baby ducks...

Hello! I am a new bird owner and I am also new to this site! I don't have any chickens, but I do have 2 baby ducks! I hope that still counts! I love Marvel, especially Spiderman, so my ducklings are named MJ (brown and yellow speckled one) and Peter Parker (the yellow one)! I do not know their...

I have 3 call ducklings that are a week old. Today I noticed they are laying down a lot more than normal, away from heat source. I have it set at 85 with a thermometer. Too hot? I'm not sure. They are fed purina duck starter w a protein level of 19%. They have a small bath in their enclosure...

We were changing our duckling’s brooder our before bed when my partner accidentally bumped the duckling with their foot when I wasn’t looking. He scrambles across the floor, he’s scared, we both panic. We try and hold him, but he was clearly scared and running away from us. I tried for...

Hi all. 3-4 days til hatch. The air cell is way too small due to high humidity. I mean way too small. There is movement inside the two eggs (kicking and jerky movements) when candling. These are mandarin duck eggs. The air cell is probably half of what is should be, I know that the temp was...

So early this afternoon I found one of my ducks in a empty dog box of ours. I was concerned that she was hurt, so investigated. She got up and walked away. I discovered she had 12 eggs she was laying on. Before I left I checked back to see if she went back in the box to lay on them but she...

Hey ! So I recently ordered 2 female Pekin ducks and 4 Rhode Island White hens, I was wondering when I would be able to bring them out? They’re 1 week old right now. Not move them outside permanently, but to just feel the grass and see the outside world haha. I would put them in a small fenced...
