duck #breeds

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...

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...

Hello, recently I’ve encountered some confusion and am unsure whether my duck is a moulard duck (a cross between a pekin and Muscovy) or a Muscovy?

Hello! First time Duck owner here! We had a broody hen ( no rooster) so we decided to have a little fun and let her sit on some random duck eggs I picked up from someone on Facebook. She successfully hatched two but they look nothing alike! Any help with breed identification or guesses on sex...

Hello! This mama is very social n friendly, comes up to me n lets me sit by her. Is she a dumped pet? I’ve never seen her before. The babies come up to me n are very comfortable around me too

Back in March I got day old ducks and ended up with 2 drakes and 2 ducks, once they were 4 months I got 3 more girls 7-12 weeks old that were mixed but I still can’t tell the breeds as I am new to this. I was told I was given a Welsh harlequin (biggest), buff Orpington (smallest) and a Swedish...

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...

Hi everyone I I incubated my eggs at 96.5 by mistake because the temperature is stable and I trust my incubator I never checked it my mistake, humidity 49 to 55 no more no less I candle them on day 26 and they are all alive and moving a lot with the air sack big and the embryo covers almost all...

Hi there! I have six ducklings whose voices are JUST starting to change. I’m waiting for those to see who’s male and female. But I’m so curious about one of them (the only NOT khaki Campbell)— it was yellow/white as a duckling, and its feathers are growing in buff. It’s friendlier & braver than...

Got these cuties 8 weeks ago, label said straight run. So trying to figure out if they are both Rouen ducks are different breeds. Thanks!

I don’t see many posts about hybrid goldens here and they deserve more love. Please post your pictures!!

We picked up 8 sweeties from an assorted box today from the hardware store! Our flock died along with our pet mini pig and dog in an awful wild fire 5 years ago.. I’m just now ready to get back into it after such a tragedy.. My uneducated guesses lol 1 - Khaki Campbell, it’s a week old. 1 -...

I got three ducklings from tractor supply and they were just labeled ducks, anyone know what breed they are? I don’t think they are pekins, two of them might be mallards, but I have no clue what the all brown one is.

I am wondering wether anyone knows anything about Snow White down in ducks. I read an article recently about Snow White down in ducks but it didnt give any info on how to find these birds. It mentions that Muscovy and mallard derived ducks can have this Snow White gene but I don’t know how to...

5 ducklings they all look the same I can’t tell if they are male or female. They’re growing rapidly! Also, when can they live outside? It’s 80degrees during the day where I’m at but as low as 50 at night. If they have a house and each other for warmth can they live outside soon? Or will they...

Hey all, As someone new to Cayuga owning, can they come in any color other than black? Or if the ducklings are not black does that mean they’re not pure Cayuga??

hello I’m hoping one of you can help us identify what kind of ducks these are. We saved one from a local duck pond (left on the sidewalk) and two my husband got from a local duck farm. Also can you tell if they are male or female yet or can you not tell until they are older? Thanks in advance!

Hello! I have grown chicks but I have a new mixed breed duck flock mom. I got some from my local feed store (khaki campbell, blue swedish, and 1 white layer) and then decided to order a few more. My first batch of 4 is now 10 days old. I got my 5 new babies yesterday (3 cayuga and 2 magpie), so...

Just brought a male call (or bantam) duck, about 1 year old. Not sure what his colouring is. Normally has a green head but he's moulting ATM, he also has a shiney blue colour in his wings.

Hi! My sister called me today telling me two ducks and a chicken were pecking/knocking on her glass door at her work! They gave them some crackers and got them secure. They are on an extremely busy road. They are very friendly. I have them in a secure spot on my farm for the night. I have...
