    Duckling died

    Hi so basically I found a lone duckling on Tuesday around 8 PM in my in ground pool. It was just swimming back and forth. Whenever I would go out to grab it, it would jump out and run around the yard away from me. It was weird since we live in the suburbs and none of our neighbors have ducks...

    Duckling with lame foot

    One of my almost 4 week old ducklings has become lame in one foot/leg. He is pretty much using his whole leg to hobble around. The other leg seems to be strong. This just started and has been on and off the past few days and is now consistent. None of the other ducks are having any leg issues...

    Indian Runner duckling - is this a tail curl?

    Hey does my duckling look like a boy? Hoping she's a girl because she's loving my flock, but if she's a boy I am concerned about mating. She's in between 1 and 2 months so can't tell by the quack. Very new at ducks, maybe I just need to be patient

    Does anyone have experience with Mexican squealer/black bellied squealer/whistling ducklings? Our Rouens laid eggs around the pond, and they rarely successfully hatch so we took them in to incubate. There were some wild squealer ducks that have come and gone at the pond as well. Well today is...

    Hi, new member here! I just recently bought 2 pekin ducklings and it’s been a long journey of learning about them, especially about the popular niacin predicament that the store failed to mention when they gave me chicken feed for my ducks. I learned this the hard way but I was able to cure my...

    Duckling with squishy and soft belly

    One of the ducklings that just hatched has a soft, squishy, somewhat distended belly. None of the other ducklings have this. This one is weaker than the rest - we had to assist in hatch.

    One Sebastopol gosling egg is VERY narrow. Its pointy end is pointy. Considering that the female is barely a year old, should I remove that egg??? I've never had to cull a chick and am concerned that the gosling that grows in the narrow shell might not develop properly. Does anyone have any...

They seem fine with her not being too mean or scared of...
