I finally took the leap and decided to pick up a pair of aleady sexed duck hens to add to our little homestead!! I'm so excited, since I've wanted them for years. This post is half-gushing, half asking for IDs :)
I just got over the trauma of raising a bunch of chicks and my favorite two...
Hey guys, just curious what you think..
My two khakis are about 5 weeks old. One of them makes a perfect quack, the other still peeps. I don’t know how to tell the khaki females from the males.. opinions?
And then we have my two welsh.. the lighter beak one quacks, LOUDLY. The other, well...
Hi Folks,
New here tho I have been checking in for a couple of years. I have a question today regarding a duck we hatched. The ducks mother a khaki Campbell was nailed by a hawk ☹️.
I knew her eggs tho and put one under a Sussex Speckled hen who shared brooding duties with other hens but ended...
I need some help IDing some ducks. Long story short, I’ve been asked to adopt some ducks that have been living at a now abandoned restaurant area. The owners don’t know what kind they are but they’ve sent me some photos. There are two females and a male. My best guess is Rouen or Mallard but I...
A group of 4 of these recently showed up at the pond where I’ve been watching a bunch of mallard type duck families grow this season. Their bodies and beaks are very small/short in comparison to the mallards and there appears to be some red either in their eyes or immediately surrounding them...
We have some adorable ducklings who just hatched yesterday (and more in process today) but we are not sure what our 1 little duckling named Quasar is - any thoughts? Quasar seems almost silver in color. We (thought we) received Rouen and Aylesbury eggs. Here are 3 photos of Quasar alone and then...
Hey everyone,
I’m going to pick up these black beauties on Saturday. She said ALL of these ducks were sold to her when they were ducklings as Indian Runners... I’m thinking the black ones are actually Cayuga’s? Thoughts? She’s also stated that one is male and one is female (not yet old enough...
I purchased two ducklings at my local TSC and they were unlabeled. I didn’t realize that there were a few different duckling breeds that were brown. Could these possibly be khaki cambells? What things do you look for when identifying ducklings?
I can provide more photos if needed.
Can anybody tell me what kind of ducks these are?
#1 i think it’s a black runner duck, its all black or very dark brown
#2 I’m pretty sure is a mallard.
#3 I’m thinking Swedish blue
#4 Pekin
#5 I don’t know. Maybe a Muscovy?
Hello, I have a female duck named Holly, and I'm confused on what breed she is. She has hatched two ducklings since I've owned her, one a male Rouen and the other a female I'm thinking a Black Swedish Duck. I'm not sure exactly how old Holly is, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 years. Her mate the past...
Thanks to my broody girls, my duck flock is about to more than double in size. And with two adult female Cayugas, two teenage Cayuga-Golden Cascade crosses, and four little newly hatched Cayuga ducklings, I'm going to be having an interesting time telling the Cayugas apart.
Besides colored zip...
