My male Cayuga duck is about 9 months old and keeps vibrating/wrapping his head around us/ and biting either our legs or arms. He also keeps doing the same to our hens and dog. I can’t tell if he’s trying to mate with us/ show us his love/ or is angry. Any idea why he does this? .
Thanks!!
I have two Cayugas (F) and two Ancondas (M & F). I thought I only had one male in the bunch, but my one Cayuga keeps humping the other one! I fully support their lifestyle, and don't want to get in the way of true love, but at the same time, if it's just a whacked out drake, that's too many...
I need some help. Today I brought my two Cayuga ducklings outside today for some excersize. I placed them in their future pen and went to go work on my flooded driveway. I came back about an hour later to check on them and Quaggy, was laying down not getting the duck crazies like his brother. I...
Greetings everyone!
I have an 8 month old Welsh Harlequinn that got a foot injury, the lacerations healed fine with some topical aid and some segregation and TLC, but she still had swelling in the foot that was not going down, so I took her to the vet. After an xray he was able to confirm no...
This morning something terrible happened. My Cayuga ducks, Mochi, who I raised when she was just a little duckling, passed away today. We woke up getting ready to go on a family day trip when it happened. I saw her laying on the ground outside completely unable to move. She was just flopped...
I never actually knew there was a duck thread until now! This is what I get for not coming on here too often lol. But now that there's a community where I can ask other duck owners questions... could you help me figure out if my duck hates me?
I have two ducks. A female Mallard named Billy and...
2 days before Easter this year I bought 3 duckling from Bomgaars (who couldn't sex them). I ended up with 1 female Cayuga and 2 male ducks unfortunately. The duck has been fully grown for a while and I am wondering when she will start laying. And how can I tell if she is about to lay? Also if...
Hi all I'm Lisa. My husband and i dove into raising birds when we built our house on 11 acres. we like the birds alot especially when they produce for us. I am starting to question the reality of maintaining them and weather or not were getting enough back from them. In other words I need...
I have a first-time broody duck whose eggs are supposed to hatch today or tomorrow. When I went out to check on her and her eggs just now, I found that an egg had been kicked out of the nest and was sitting in the middle of the floor of the duck house, and some of the egg's shell was gone but...
I'm adding to my flock to balance out the male/female ratio. I currently have 2 pekin females and 2 cayuga males. Looking to keep things quiet since I live within city limits. Which would be quieter, cayuga or swedish blue?
I'm looking for opinions on adding to my flock. I have 4 9-week-old ducks, 2 pekin and 2 cayuga. I believe the 2 pekin are both female, based on voice sexing, but the 2 cayugas have been so quiet comparatively, I am starting to think neither of them will be female. I was hoping for 3 female and...
I just purchased my first ducks which I will be picking up tonight (Three 1 year old Cayugas - 1 Drake, 2 Ducks). I built a coop for them approximately 5'x5' with an attached run that is 5'x13'. My plan is to not provide food or water in the coop during the night but give them access to...
I have a Cayuga hen that is about a year and a half old. For the last few days she has been disappearing for a long periods of time and not coming back to the coop at night to be locked up. She only reappears with the rest of the flock for a few hours or two to eat and swim. I finally found her...
You can call me Galaktion, for now.
I own a small townhouse with a 30x30ft fenced-in backyard right on a nice 2 acre pond. About 50% of the pond has human access (homes, walking trail) and the other 50% is natural and basically undisturbed.
When I bought this house 16 years ago, there was...
I have (2) 6wk old pekins and (2) 4wk old cayugas and they are all terrified of their new kiddy pool. They loved swimming inside in the sink and bathtub when they were younger (and smaller) but now want nothing to do with swimming. They are obviously hot (panting in the shade) but won't swim. Help?
I raised chickens once before and they lasted a while until one of our horses fed them ant poison.
Currently I have a 2.5 to 4 month old mallard (at least i think bc he is small), 2.5 to 4 month old pekin, 6 to 8 week old Khaki Campbell, and 2 nearly 4 week old Cayugas. And 8 chickens of...
So, I think I need to find a home for two of my 5 month old male ducks. They are becoming aggressive with each other and with my females. The fact is I have too many males (6:4). I hate that I even have to write this. But, if any of you knows someone in Georgia that would give these 2 sweet boys...
