    Does my Pekin duckling have angel wing?

    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.

    Soft eggs in older (4 yrs) duck

    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...

    My Welsh Harlequin Ducks ( 4 Hens / 1 Drake )

    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...

    I've never incubated duck eggs before -- help!

    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!

    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.

    What’s wrong with my ducks foot?

    Good morning, does anyone know what is going on with my duck’s toe? She doesn’t bumblefoot but her toe suddenly swelled up a few days ago. I tried feeling it to see if it was broken, but it seems like she can bend her toe ok, but she flinches when I touch it. I’m not sure what happened. Any...

    One of my female ducks hatched 4 ducklings in the early hours of Monday morning (2 days ago). I separated mum and ducklings from the rest of the flock, and I have put them inside with a heat lamp so they don't get too cold overnight. I keep them in there during the day too as I don't want to...
