cayuga

I've said this so many times, but, I'm picking up my Cayuga ducks tomorrow! I have an extra coop where they can be but it's occupied by my new muscovies (2 months old). The Cayuga ducks are fully mature, but obviously, the Muscovies aren't. I'm worried that the drake might try to mate with the...

We have had the exact same crack in the exact spot of what I believe is our Cayuga’s egg for 3 consecutive days now. What could be causing this?

Hello there! 👋🏻 Recently my ducks started laying eggs! We are so excited because my chickens are slacking lately. lol I'm curious to know what everyone's opinions are on this. I have (1) female Blue Swedish, (2) female Mallards & (2) female Cayugas. I also have a "mutt". She's a very dark...

Hey y’all! I just recently purchased my first Cayuga ducks from someone who is downsizing their flock for winter, I bought 2 hens and a drake they are about 2 years old. When I purchased them, the person said that one of the hens had a bit of a limp, and she still has the limp right now, I went...

Hi! Two days ago I saw my duck Pip trip over the garden hose. She started limping immediately after. I gave her vitamin b complex and put poultry green goo on her ankle. I also used my red light therapy device on her. I think it looks slightly swollen but nothing crazy. She gets around fine...

Hello, I have 4 Chinese brown geese 2 Cayuga ducks and 2 muscovies. All of them panic when I pick them up, and I was wondering if there's something I could do for them to warm up to me more and be more calm when I pick them up? Or if there's any better way for me to pick them up :love

Hello! My Cayuga recently started sitting on her eggs about a week and a half - two weeks ago. I’m trying to decipher which eggs are fertile. I’m especially struggling with this one. I don’t think I can see any movement inside. It’s actually pretty hard to see what’s inside. Any thoughts?

Hello all So my two Pekins (pictured) are 2 months old and they are almost certainly one female and one male. Need to order 3 females to get the numbers right. My last post someone mentioned size of the breed of females to order... I was hoping to order from Metzer: 2 Cayuga female 1 silver...

Hi all, Hatching out a few eggs from my Muscovy girls. Assuming this is a mix with the cayuga and not the white runner :lau Just thought people might want to see the mix results- two more currently preparing for final zip :)

I actually had the pleasure of my Cayuga to a Ancona. The original mate was lost to either a raccoon or fox, and I ventured into a different breed for the new mate. I came across Willow, my Ancona, and got her for Waldo, my Cayuga. I had a game hen hatch the babies for me, and they hatched this...

Everything I've read has told me that my black babies are blue Swedish ducks (I was hoping for Cayugas) & that my tan babies are Welsh Harlequins. What do you think? 😫 I'm so anxious to know what breeds these babies are so I can build an enclosure that is suited to house them! Ps, I do know...

We got some new ducklings today! I'm so excited, but I'm so curious to know what breed the "all black" ducklings are! They are mostly black (maybe even a dark brown? I haven't had them outside yet!) with black feet & a black bill. They have a TINY patch of yellow on their chests. I also borrowed...

So this is my first time ever incubating eggs or even seeing fertile eggs. I have 9 Cayuga duck eggs and one of them looks different from the rest. None have any veins yet, that I could see when candling today, we’re on day 5 of incubation. Is this egg okay? I think there is a vague smell. No...

Does anyone have any idea how I would go about finding some Cayuga duck eggs to hatch? I always hate ordering chicks online to be shipped. :hmm I appreciate any leads!

Kept a count of eggs from my layers this (Dec 12-18). All the birds are less than a year old. I have 2 breeds of ducks and 4 breeds of chickens. All my birds forage freely on my 5 acres during the day except my Rhode Island Reds who have a run. Best layers were my Welsh Harlequin ducks. I have...

Hi there! Lord’s Willing, I am after some Cayuga ducklings (and/or a drake if at all possible!) This isn’t what I typically think of when it comes to the “duckling time of year”... so I was wondering if they are even available right now. Still in search of a drake regardless though! Thank you in...

Hello friends! So we have 4 Cayuga duckies. We have noticed though, that one of the females has these white feathers throughout her body. She is a young duck, hatched this spring! Any clues?! Is she a Cayuga like we thought, or different? Or maybe just a pretty feathered Cayuga?! Have a blessed...

Hi there friends! Our Cayuga and Pekin ducks are giving us eggs! Praise the Lord!! I can’t tell if this egg is fertilized though. The Cayuga drake is active, but I’ve never seen the Pekin drake mating with his females. The Pekin eggs don’t exactly look fertile, and the Cayugas do, but I have...
