hey guys so a little back story my one duck had a small scab on her back neck from mating with a male (TMI) but it was absolutely nothing to worry about. anyways this morning after i let the ducks out a flock of crows attacked her (my australian shepherd ran out and saved her) and pecked at her...

my two ducks (8 weeks) don’t know how to quack. that’s what i’m assuming lol. i’ve never really picked them up individually as they were “wild” before (they left and came back this spring, i’ve talked abt it in a previous post) but the other day the one came up to me and let me pet her, i...

as many of you know i lost one of my ducks a couple days ago when i left my animals with someone else for my birthday. i haven’t been able to bury her as i needed a couple days before i could look at her. today i buried her and before i assumed she had choked and that’s how she passed. but when...

one of my ducks passed away the other day, im assuming from some sort of crop issue. a couple of my ducks crops look full but not sure if it has always looked like this and i’m just paranoid? they’re 6 weeks old.

hey everyone, so recently i’ve been focusing very hard on my ducks as we had a mink attack two weeks ago. i went out for my 19th birthday today and got a message from the person who is watching the animals that they found one of my ducklings/teen ducks dead. i’m devastated but not sure what...

Hello all, first time Duck mom here. This guy is driving me nuts! He’s huge, bigger than my Cayuga male or khaki Campbell males. It looks like he has blue eyes too. He’s about 14-15 weeks old. From a farm store that sources from Cackle Hatchery. Someone canceled an order of straight run “rare”...

I know I posted this before, but my finnegan just can’t stop getting out of trouble :’)) His old nail that broke off is growing back but the nail next to it recently snapped. I don’t know if it’s bc I let them follow me up the dock ramp or down the ramp to my house but is there anything I should...

Hello all, I have had my 2 beautiful ducks for almost a year, they have a small run and duck house that they are in at night and free range with the chickens in the day. The issue I am having is the mud in the pen they have a small pool in there that they love and play in (and I swear sleep in...

Ducks won't come out of pond, and it's starting to freeze Tonight it'll be below 20 and I can't get them out of the pond. Please does anybody have any ideas they can somewhat fly at least over my head and have a coop ready and waiting for them also put a smaller nesting box out by the pond shore...

I really need some help. I had a duck lay eggs in the bushes in the front of my house. She ended up laying 9 eggs. Some animal in the middle of the night ate six of them.😭We saw a partial one in the driveway. We gave her a couple of days to come back but she abandoned the nest. I used a heat...

My coworker and I have been incubating an egg for about 13 days. On Monday, the incubator overheated - it couldn't have been any longer than 2 hours because she had turned it for the day and then went to turn it again and realized how hot it felt. On Sunday, the egg was moving around and very...

Hello! I bought some eggs that are from ducks and I don't know the other ones (brown's ones and kinda blue eggs) Is it the same process as chicken eggs?

Hello! I bought some duck eggs (Im not sure what species they are) and how many times do I need to turn them around and how many degrees do they need to be.

I am a new duck owner and yesterday I noticed some dark stuff accumulating on my ducks feet. I’m wondering if I should worry about this or is this something all ducks go through when aging? I attached a picture for reference. Thank you all!

I have two almost 2-week old ducklings and they are stumbling and having balance issues, and one now has a buldge on his neck/shoulder area. Is this over eating?

I’m unsure of the breed of ducks they are I got them at tractor supply in the assorted section but none of them match up.Both are 3 and a half months old I am also unsure of the gender.

Hi all. I have a muscovy duck who suddenly went "lame" we didnt think she was going to make it through the night. Eyes were crusty and watery and could hardly open them, sprawled out, and could barely lift her head to drink as i hand watered her from a small bowl. Did this during the day moving...

Hello this my first time posting...might not be useful information, but my sister dropped my baby duckling from up high and it hasn't affected her until a couple days ago... my mom wants to kill her, she can hardly stand and swim and is very depressed...anything I can do? sorry if my spelling is...
