    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My mom got chickens 16 years ago after immigrating our family to Australia. They were silkie chickens. I got my first chickens myself in my early 20s but suffered a terrible miscarriage that almost killed me so I gave them to my mom...

    Integrating ducklings

    Hello all! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. All my duckies are well and happy, and I now have two new Harlequin x Cayuga babies that are now almost 25 days old! Unfortunately, I’m in a trailer, and they’re slowly getting too big for us :( I have some female ducks that seem broody, but never...

    Can you tell sex?

    Hello, I had 3 Rouen ducklings(2 female, 1 male) & unfortunately today 1 of them was killed. I cannot tell if the male or 1 of the females passed away so I was wondering if anybody could take a guess on the sex of my 2 Rouens that are still alive. They are about 3 weeks old.

    Was sent a Crested Duckling egg with my mix and need advice, please!

    Unfortunately, I had to order late in season so shipped eggs it was! These included an undisclosed egg mix, one of which (unknowningly at the time) is a crested breed. I immediately went into research mode and learned all the unfortunate things that can come along with this breed. I contacted...

    How do I make a neck cast for a wry neck duckling?

    I have a wry neck duckling a couple days old, like 4-6 ish, and I have fed it boiled eggs because it has selenium, but it doesn't seem to work. The duckling's neck and head is curved downward to the ground and sometimes to its belly, and its head scrapes the ground. Every website online says to...

    Best for ducklings?

    Hi, I was just wondering what the best items you have found to use for ducklings are. Most likely ones you can buy online, like on Amazon. I’m looking for the best duckling food, brooder plate, feeder & waterer, and maybe what setups to keep ducklings in until they are old enough to go in...

    Flock raiser for ducklings?

    Hi! I have 3 almost 3 week old ducklings and I have been feeding them flock raiser. My question is, should I add oats or something else to lower the protein? They are blue Swedish, Cayuga, and welsh harlequin if that makes any difference. I haven’t seen any angel wing and they are all seeming...

    Giant duckling!!

    So maybe two weeks ago, I hatched out my first duckling. I usually purchase my ducklings from hatcheries, but my first duckling successfully hatched, after many failed attempts. See, my breeding drake has very strong genes, which In this case, isn’t a good thing. He’s had leg problems ever since...
