    Sudden Duckling Death. Attack or Illness?

    A week ago, one of my five muscovy ducklings wedged himself into a tight gap when something spooked him, and though it eventually got itself free it took a long while to pry itself loose. It was dead by morning– I assumed that shock did him in. Yesterday, the four remaining ducklings (now...

    [Graphic Pictures!] The mystery of the missing egg - solved!

    Hi friends, this is a spin-off thread of »Charleston we have a Broody here!«. - In a nutshell: Katharina, one of my Indian Runner ducks managed to hide a clutch of eggs from me and was suddenly sitting on nine eggs. Seven cheeky ducklings hatched, one egg was a stinker and one was missing. Two...

    The Nightmare Hatch (more than a few tears shed for this one)

    A week ago, I walked outside into the yard to notice that there were several eggshells scattered throughout the backyard. As I got closer, I could smell something that made my stomach turn, and I knew what I was going to see before I saw it. Broken eggs with fetuses, almost fully-developed...

    Duckling died, looking to understand!

    I’m new to BYC. I’ve hatched 2 rounds of chicks (mostly successfully), so when I discovered my female Pekin’s stash of eggs that I had no doubt were fertilized (that’s a whole different topic lol) I decided I’d hatch a few ducklings. The incubation went well thanks to a few BYC forums, but one...

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. For the second time, I've allowed one of my muscovy hens to sit on eggs. It's now day 39 with no sign of ducklings so I candled the eggs. It looked like black fluid in the egg and it smelled so I took it and cracked it. First tap, the shell came off but the...
