My two ducks got picked off by a fox 28 days ago. I had some eggs so I put them in an incubator and one has already pipped! It happened over 12 hours ago and no progress. I would not be worried but the pip is so so so small I am worried that it is not getting any oxygen. Here is a photo and...
I bought and hatched some call duck eggs, this call duck is 3 weeks old exactly. Unfortunately he was one of two that survived and now the only one standing. Looking for a friend for it but I wanna get the same breed and same sex if I can x
Ps can’t wait to see how this lil one grows up 😍
I’m really new here as I’m kind of losing it😩 basically we got two ducklings on the 2nd June and on on 7th June one duckling passes away due to what they think is just a birth defect:( the problem is now until we can go pick up the new ducklings (this week I hope!) the duckling we have left has...
Recently I’ve had some chickens sitting on duck eggs. There were probably six but only one had survived (two more might hatch). Things were going well, and my two broody hens were taking care if it together, until today it fell out of the nesting box and got attacked by another one of my birds...
Seems like my 4 week old jumbo Peking has a broken pin feather. Vet is not in for another week. Bleeding has stopped, and she’s eating and drinking just fine. Just wondering how long I should keep her separated from the other ducklings to keep her as safe as possible…
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...

Today (5-20-2025) while taking trash out I turned around to walked back to the house and heard tiny peeps and saw this little guy coming from under our porch. I live in a rural area miles and miles away from any bodies of water. There was no signs of the momma or other babies near by and I have...

Hi guys,
We have one out of 14 ducklings that hatched 5 days ago is eating and drinking well but has some balance issues as well as only walks in one direction in circles.
It seems like he had a stroke and was born this way.
We seperated him from the others briefly yesterday but he seems fine...
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...
Hello everyone! Pre-post warning: this will contain several photos of a duckling with a hole in the skull that will be upsetting to some. You have been warned.
My hatches this year have been. Odd to say the least. With Chernobyl the three legged baby (who is still doing great, will post an...
Hello everyone!
Not sure if you've seen my previous threads, but that early bird egg has now hatched into a beautiful duckling! However, since it was an early bird, he came out of his incubator before his siblings. He has been on his own a little bit in his brooder, but he continuously chirps...
Hello everybody! Hope you are all doing well. If you arent, I hope it gets better and maybe this little mystery baby case will cheer you up a bit.
I give some of my duck eggs to schools in the area to hatch every spring for their classrooms. Last Friday, one of the teachers messaged me.
"Sooo we...
Anyone in the Northwest Chicago Suburbs interested in adopting up to 13 ducklings? We incubated them in a science class. Our original home for them backed out the day before we were supposed to drop them off. They are a week old today.
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.
My ducklings hatched Sunday and Monday, so one in two days ago. One of the ducklings had a really hard time getting out of his shell and is clearly not as strong as everybody else. I was cleaning out their brooder and lifted him out and realized he had a red underbelly , is this normal? I...
