    Duck ID please

    I have this male that I am trying to identify breed. When he molts he does not have the stripes on his face like a Rouen or mallard. He also does not have blue on his wings. He is small in size compared to the Rouen that we do have. Thanks for any help!

    Flock Party Duck Feeder?

    Hi again! Has anyone used or had experience with the “Flock party duck feeder” 7lbs? This specific feeder has no lid… which is great for top filling, less great if you’re trying to keep rodents out. Has anyone made a make-shift lid that has served the purpose? I use open pans right now, but...

    Protecting Pond Aerator

    My ducks keep knocking over the Aerator pump in their new pond. They'll all swim as fast as they can from one end of the pond to the other and the wake they leave flips the pump over. The pump's instructions say to put it on a brick so it doesn't intake sludge from the bottom of the pond but...

    Baby Duck hasn't grown in a week

    received two ducklings at 3 days old, and both appeared healthy at the time. We’re now in week 2, and while one duck has tripled in size, the other has barely grown. Despite that, she eats, drinks plenty of water, and sleeps regularly. She loves to cuddle up next to her sibling but tends to...

    Broody Drake?

    Bramble is an almost six week Welsh Harlequin cross with either a Buff or a Cayuga buff cross. I’m usually correct when vent sexing goslings but I have zero percent accuracy with vent sexing ducklings so I knew I probably was wrong with Bramble but Bramble appeared to be a female at first. After...

    Help!!

    I came home today to my two year old Black Swedish Hen, named Maggie, lame and having issues moving, almost as if she is egg bound. She still has an appetite, is interested in preening, and is currently in the bath (also dosed with meloxicam). Is this egg binding or something different? She’s...

    Runner ducks no external pip

    I could use some HATCHING HELP info…we are incubating 6 chicken eggs and 5 duck eggs. Put chicken eggs in 7 days after ducks to account for the 21/28 day difference. We opted to set humidity to ducks instead of chicks, so humidity was in the 55 range for the 25 days. We had been candling and...
