What gender am I ?
This is Chippy, she is 3 months old. I believe she is a Cayuga X Rouen, maybe? I thought she was a female. I’ve had her since a hatching. But I’ve been told that she might be a male because she doesn’t quack (yet) more a whistle & also bobs her head. What do you guys think, male or female? Also...- Shannlouise

Quarantining birds
So, in my flock the past year, we’ve hatched and grown many male ducks and its not a very good hen to drake ratio. I just found some welsh harlequins, (which I’ve wanted for a while), and we need to even out our flock with more hens, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to quarantine them for like a...- ShaliniW1985

Can I use tap water and hose water for my ducks?
I have some ducks hatching soon and I would like to know if I can use tap and hose water for my ducks. While they’re small I would like to let them swim in the bath tub/sink. When they get older the plan is to get them a kiddie pool and fill it up with water. This is my first time hatching...- RanditheDuckMother

Deformed duckling legs
So I’ve had these two khaki campbell ducklings for about a month and I’ve just noticed that they have somewhat deformed legs. Ones legs are turned inward, which I know can be normal, but the other has very weirdly messed up legs. One leg is stuck going forward and the other is far behind. She...- ShaliniW1985

Aylesbury or American Pekin?
For the past few weeks I have been observing my ducks pretty closely and noticed something about one of my hens. She has always had a somewhat pink/pale beak and I thought that it was just genetics. But now that I take a closer look, she has a much more angular head, a different slightly...- ShaliniW1985

About a month ago, my two broody hens had Lauer two fertile ebbs that should have hatched over the past few days. Yesterday, the two eggs were moving and one was internally pipped, but was making no progress in pipping so I gently made an air hole, and hoped that the ducklings would hatch out on...- ShaliniW1985

HELP! Dark spot on hatching egg?
I’ve been hearing peeping from the duck inside but I’m not sure what this dark spot is? Is that where she is pipping? It’s not where they usually hatch from so is she oriented wrong?- Duckmama01

Is my Indian Runner duck male or female?
Is my black indian runner male or female? I think he's a boy but he has not started quaking and doesn't have a sex curl but his head has a tinge of green in it. I don't know if that means anything as he is an Indian runner not a mallard but just thought someone on here might be able to tell me.- Sophie-lou
