Hi!
I'm currently on the search for female ducklings. Our 2-3(?) week old male KC Duckling currently lives with our baby chicks but I would like to get him some female ducklings.
Breeds I'm looking for:
-Cayuga
-Runners
-Khaki Campbell
I can pay extra to have them delivered as I don't drive...
On the 30th of last month I was given a 2 day old duckling that had leg problems (it couldn't stand or walk). Long-ish story short, it was niacin deficient but is now perfectly fine and living in a Rubbermaid in my bedroom until my other ducks and geese hatch.
The girl who hatched him got the...
I finally found a goose! I’ve been religiously snooping on Craigslist, and one finally popped up that seemed too good to be true. I’ve been looking for a single female goose for ages now, and now I finally found one :celebrate She’s a stunning 10 month old Sebastopol, who is going to be the mate...
I'm starting this thread to document and share my flock's adventures.
Today is their first real snow!
Taking a dip before breakfast.
What happened to all the mud???
You wanna build a snow man?
I found the mud, it's under all this white stuff!
Look at those crazy ducks!
What you...
Hello lovely peeps!
I’ve been a long-time lurker on this forum... For years it’s been my go-to place for any duck related info, and it’s always reaffirming to read the stories of equally poultry obsessed people!
Recently, I’ve had some bad luck in losing two of my older ducks to age and...
Hello! I am new to breeding ducks, and looking for some information on Cayuga breed standards. I have read over the breed standard for Cayuga ducks, however I don't have an eye yet for telling whether or not my birds fit that standard well. I am considering entering them in a show next month...
Hi there,
My cayuga has recently hatched her baby. She is typically quite calm about me invading her space, she sometimes welcomes it. I entered their brooding pen this morning to try to hold her baby, and she was OK with me approaching him. He then jumped in the water with her (it's shallow...
Hey y’all!
So I recently discovered that 1 of my 4 ducks is a male. He has always been the leader of the group but now it’s clear he is definitely a male. Recently he has started bothering my husband and male cats. If my husband is walking on the property the 1 male will chase him down, peck...
Hey there, my duck Lillian is expecting to hatch two babies . She's taking great care of her eggs, and as far as I can tell, the ducklings are in perfect health. My only question Is "When will she become a mother?!" I've been candling the eggs daily, but for some reason I cannot tell which...

Hello,
Long story short, I've moved in with some relatives who are hesitant to allow me to get my Cayuga hen some company as they fear the neighbors will complain. She has been registered as an emotional support animal, but an additional duck wouldn't have any paperwork to prevent local law...
Our baby Pansy is nine days old today the past few days when I clean the cage I have allowed the mommy Dandi-Lion out to run eat bugs in the yard and be with her sisters and our male. My question is how long should I allow her to be away from the duckling whom I have in a basket with a kitchen...
I have two female Cayugas that are a little too loud for our backyard, along with a few extra males. I hatched them this spring. $20 each. The girls are pretty quiet in general, but do a loud alarm call whenever we go on out on the back porch - which is driving my husband crazy since he works in...
Hi there,
I understand that a lot of people have problems adjusting to the normalcy of forced mating among ducks, however I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I currently have two drakes and two hens (Not how I planned it, I promise!) I noticed that the drakes have begun their process...
I've had ducks for about 5 years. Lots of fun and laughs. We'll for the first time ever one of my girls have been wondering off. After following her I found a nest at the time there was 5 eggs. All my ducks are free range during the day. All my ducks are female. If these eggs she's nesting...
For the past week or two, I've noticed my 3 year old Cayuga male duck has had ruffled neck feathers. I thought it would go back to normal but it has been like this for awhile.
Is this normal, or is it a sign that he could be sick?
I know that silver ducks are just ducks with two dilution genes, but I can't seem to find any pictures online. Do they just look like blue ducks or are they white/lighter?
I accidentally bred a blue Cayuga (technically a hybrid, I guess) when my Cayuga drake got out and bred my Blue Swede. She...
