    Found duck(?) Eggs

    Hi! I'm new here, and I don't know much about the lives of waterfowl. We live in a neighborhood with a pond that is home to a flock of geese and a few ducks who seem to stick together against the geese. The pond has been taken over by duckweed, so I was out scooping it to try to put a dent in...

    Duck Egg Recipes - Thinking Outside the Shell

    My baby just laid first egg I have questions

    How soon do I refrigerate them. How long are they good for? My ducks both are female just eat flock raiser crumbles mixed with 25% oatmeal. Do I need to add something now that she is laying eggs? Or change to a new food? Anything else I need to be aware of. This is all new and exciting.

    Abandoned duck eggs, no incubator... Will this work?

    Someone told me I would get more replies here than on the duck forum. I have a duck named Hula who recently hatched 6 ducklings, with still 8 eggs to go. Well, she kinda ditched her nest and the chickens decided to dig around and ruined the nest and buried her eggs. I was able to get all of them...

    Duckling/egg Question

    So, how should I go about handling the ducklings my girl is going to have (they're due in approx. a week)? I don't want to take them all from her since she's been doing all the sitting, but I also don't have the time or space for 10 (or more) ducklings, so I'm going to be rehoming some. Will it...

    I plan on breeding my cayuga drake to Muscovy females for hinny ducks. I will be using the male hinnies for meat and was wondering if it was worth the effort of keeping the females for eggs. I've heard that they lay more inconsistently and have smaller eggs, but I'm curious about people's...

The chicken coop at the other side of the run did not have nesting boxes yet as my chickens are only 4 months, and I hadn't built them...
