    Is she a pure Khaki Campbell, a mix, or just built differently? (lots of pictures)

    Hello! I have a 3yr old Khaki Campbell lady named Daphne, but she looks different from other KC females that I've seen, especially my other girl Phoebe. Daphne is lighter in color, more round, more plump, very small and squat little girl, whereas I've noticed other KCs look longer/leaner and a...

    Air cell size and humidity d25

    I’m having a terrible time figuring out what to do with the humidity for my 3buff duck eggs and 2 call eggs. Struggling to tell if the air cells are too big or too small so I figured I’d just post here and ask what to do. 3 buff eggs are in the same incubator, 2 call eggs are in the same...

    Occasional limping then resolves

    I know there are many threads related to ducks and limping, causes, cures etc in here. I just wanted a “temperature check” to make sure I’m not alone. I have six runner ducks, all females. We’ll go through streaks of perfect health no issues. Then randomly a duck will limp. Almost inevitably it...

    Help with baby ducks and putting them back with mama.

    We have two Muskogee ducks that have been sitting on a pile of 13 eggs for over six weeks. The other day I walked out to the nest and there was a dead baby, or so it looked like. I picked it up and it was cold, held it to my breast for about an hour, and then it revived. I made a broader box for...

    Bumblefoot or something else

    Hoping someone can help me out with some guidance.. So I found out the problem my female had with her leg was possibly bumblefoot. So I did epsom salt soak and removed the bumble, cleaned it out, did Neosporin and bandaged her up. The next day I saw she removed the bandage. So I re-soaked but...

    Will Duck eggs still hatch?

    My one year old Rouen has been sitting on eggs all day until about 2 or 3pm and joins the other ducks to swim and eat at that time. I have no idea what time she gets back on the nest because I shut them in around 6 or 7pm and I don’t see her go directly to the nest. So I’m wondering will the...

    Suspected water belly in 4-year-old female Muscovy

    We suspect our 4-year-old female Muscovy may have water belly. Over the last year her egg laying has become sporadic and less frequent. About 4 days ago we noticed she’d developed a squishy, tennis ball or so size sac that hangs down behind her legs, under her vent. This development seems to...

    Hello I just wanted some advice on what anyone thinks my two muscovy ducklings might be. They are almost 6 weeks old and have been developing at the exact same rate and are the same size so I haven’t been able to tell if one is male or female. I did try vent sexing when they were younger and...

    How To Add Niacin?

    Hey y’all! We have ducks (adults) and geese (babies) but I was just curious about how y’all actually get them to take in the niacin supplement. Since it’s a powder, do you have better success mixing it into their water, or sprinkling it on their food? And what kind of containers do you use for...
