    Duck hatched her own eggs. How to care for them?

    Hi all, my kahki Campbell is hatching a clutch of her own eggs, and so far everything is going great. The mama is semi-free range (she’s in a large fenced-in area during the day that I move around the yard every few days) and I feed her layer pellets everyday. What do I need to do? Do I need...

    Can I give my ducklings anything to boost immunity?

    Hi! I’ve seen a couple of posts and articles suggesting supplemental use of garlic, oregano, and acv in water. I’ve also seen some people advising against it. What are your experiences? Is it safe for ducklings? I want my ducklings to grow up healthy and strong, so I’m open to doing anything...

    Selling Ducklings, what price should I sell them for?

    Hi, I hatch and sell ducklings and chicks and I was wondering…. what price are ducklings selling for this year? My last batch of chicks sold the day and day after they hatched. A local farmer said that I should raise the price chicks from $4 to $5 each. Should I keep selling my ducklings at $6...

    2 Thriving, One Not So Much

    Hello. We brought home 3 ducklings a week ago. The two Pekins have doubled in size and are doing great. The Khaki Campbell however has not grown much, doesn’t move around a lot, and I don’t see it eating much. When I pick it up to move it from outside the heater, it just sort of stands there...

    New ducklings! ASSORTED... any ideas on breeds?

    So, even though I wasn't planning on bringing home any babies the other day.... I just had to look at the chick tanks at Rural King on the way to another aisle. It got me really excited to see what I thought were Silver Appleyard ducklings in the tank. It seems like Hoover Hatchery likes to...

    Should I be free freeding?

    My ducklings are three weeks old, four weeks on Friday. I’ve been letting them free feed and on warmer days I’ll put them outside to explore and forage. I know they’re still growing (fast!) but should I continue to let them free feed or take their food out at night?

    Is this normal?

    Hi, again! I noticed today that my little Dill’s eyes look different. Not necessarily the eyeball itself but the surrounding area. He/she doesn’t have any eye discharge or any other health problems (that I’m aware of). I tried to get a good picture but Dill was petrified of my phone. ETA: I...
