    Mucky duckling

    Hi, I’ve just hatched a duckling for the first time in an incubator (unfortunately the others died before they could start hatching) and while I’m leaving it in there to dry off, it’s getting very mucky. Should I clean it before transferring to the brooder?? (Am currently looking into finding...

    What breed am I?

    Hi! A year or so ago I rescued these ducks. I’ve been wondering what breed the little grey beauty in the center is. The other ducks, for reference, are Black Swedish and a Pekín.

    Welch Harlequin- First Duck Hatch- Nuture Right 360

    I've done a lot of research but I was only finding a mention of cooling on this forum. I read & saw some video talk about misting, just not cooling.

    Please help! What are these, and are they male or female?

    My (VERY) thoughtful son dropped off 6 ducks for Father’s Day. He felt that since we were doing well with the chickens he gifted us last year, the ducks would be the same. Thank you son. 🙄 These ducks were purchased from Tractor Supply. The tag only said “ducks” and a price. They are supplied...

    Hey, I have five ducks and haven’t had any issues with them, really. They are about a year and held old. A few months ago one became egg bound and it took a few hours and she was fine after laying. Then the other day I had another one become egg bound and she was fine within an hour. I just went...

    What breed are these ducks please? (UK)

    I bought the eggs on eBay they were listed as Aylesbury. However apart from their light bills (in real life the bills are lighter than in the photo) they don’t have the weight or look of the Aylesbury. I have since been told they are commercial by someone and not Aylesbury. But upon looking...

    Khaki Campbell sexing

    My Khaki Campbell ducks are starting to get their voices in. So far I can’t tell the difference between a female quack & male noise. I’ve been looking at their beaks and have noticed that some are getting lighter, some darker, some with caramel colored beans, and some dark beans. Does anyone...
