Prepare yourselves. I have a suprise. I just hatched out a SILVER Cayuga. That's right. A SILVER Cayuga. Their parent stock are black Cayugas. I was under the impression that Cayugas were black and only black. But this little guy just hatched out and he is silver. I'm talking with all of my...
Hi again, BYC community! I'm having some fear about whether or not I'm doing something wrong, and would love some validation and tips from the pros here that've successfully hatched duck eggs before.
So, for a bit of context here, I'm currently on day 25 of an incubation period, and am using a...

Hello everyone, I inherited three (mallard) duck eggs (it's a long but cool story) and one has hatched! The little guy is out and waddling around the incubator. After week 3 candling we didn't feel one egg was alive but it's still in there just in case. The other candled fine and we are...
Hey all,
We had a pekin who was a runt. He finally started growing, quickly. He has developed a niacin deficiency.. I’ve been giving him 1ML of vitamin B along with 5ML of vitamin B in their water religiously for 2 weeks.
He got better for just a few days but is now back to falling over while...
Hello,
New to ducks. Have 3 pekin, 2 female and 1 male, well I think by the voices. They are about 4 months old. Last night one of the ducks was in the water late but did not think much of it, but then this morning she was in the water when I went out along with the other female. Not sure if...
I live in Jacksonville Florida and can’t seem to find a suitable home or rescue facility near me for a disabled duckling. She is blind in one eye and was born this way. She slowly started keeping her neck bent in the direction of the eye she favors so it affects her coordination but other than...
I need help with why my duckling is biting everything? My mother’s coworker brought three ducklings eggs but unfortunately only one of the three ducklings survived and he had let us take care of it. The duckling is almost two weeks old, it’s in good health and seems to have taken a huge liking...
Hey yall, one of my pekins has developed this raspyness/ lost its quack. Im not sure if it's getting sick or if its getting its male voice. Im unsure if my 2 are male or female. Theyve just recently come into their adult feathers. Yet neither have the male tail feather. The other quacks fine...
Hi everyone! This is my first post on this forum! I'm hatching a couple of Swedish Blues, and it's currently day 22! I just candled them and they are all moving pretty well, have strong veins and large air cells, and are pressed up against the air cells! One or two of the ducks even look like...
The duck has started pipping I believe last night or this morning. He has been trying to break through the membrane for a day. I incubated the egg on April 8th. The breed is one of adult ducks pictured.
There are orange/red spots appearing on the egg on the outside as well on the inside. It...

I noticed this one wing is growing feathers that seem to point away from the body. I'm really new to ducks with my only previous experience is having read Dave Holderread's book. I just want to know if I should treat this immediately or if this is normal during growth.
Hello all - I have a small flock of 3 ducks - two Welsh Harlequin and one White Crested. They all live together and have the same food (Mazuri waterfowl layer) and water (fresh water daily, from the well). During the day, they are in an outdoor run (fully enclosed and predator-proof). At night...
I’ve always liked Brahma chicks but this year my wife really wanted to try raising Welsh Harlequin ducks too. So we ended up getting some ducklings. From what I can tell, it looks like we have four females (hens) and one male (drake). If everything goes well, they’ll probably start laying eggs...
Hi, so I recently bought a few call duck eggs as new additions to my aging flock, and have a few questions as to how to incubate them!
So, just a disclaimer, I have never used an incubator to hatch duck eggs, but I have for chicken, pigeon, and quail eggs. I have absolutely no idea what humidity...
My poor Blanca is getting all of the injuries here..
I’ve just sent everyone out to free range and noticed my Blanca had what I first thought was a mud stain on her belly that she was picking at. Someone else posted a snapping turtle injury recently, so it got me nervous, and I called her over...
