Potential Angel Wing Problem
my six week old Call duckling Augustus seems to have a couple of small feathers that are coming in that are sticking out from his body. It’s not super noticeable, but I tried to get good pictures. Do you think this is the start of Angel wing? If so, what would be the best thing to do for it...- Bridger Davis

Is This a male or female duck?
He is only 7 weeks old so I know I can wait but it is bugging me. Since he first pipped he had a raspy chirp so I always thought male but he doesn’t have a normal male quack that every male duck I’ve heard shares so I’m just wondering if anyone else can confirm that he’s a boy. -

In Honor of Banana Split
2 years, 3 months. That’s how long the flock has gone without casualty. Unfortunately, after yesterday, that count must be reset.

Duck Coop Help!
Hello Everyone!! So, I have a little duck coop with three ducks. When they were little they would sleep in a closed sided dog kennel inside the coop, but now that they are grown they won’t use it (I assume it’s too small).

1 week old duckling
I have three 1 week old Cayuga ducklings, 2 of them are very hyper and upright. Meaning they are stretching their necks up high and curious about everything. I have one that isn’t doing that, she still moves around a lot but isn’t as erect as the other 2. She’s also a little smaller than them...- TawnberryVII

Angel wing while swimming?
Hello! I’m a first time duck owner and my 2 are 8 weeks old. My mallard looks like her wings stick out but only while swimming. They appear to be fine or only stick out a little when in their coop. Is this an angel wing issue? (They regularly get niacin added to their food) -

Ducks stopped laying with new geese
I introduced young geese to my duck flock this past spring to act as our warning for predators. The geese were small - no bigger than the ducks at the time, and grew gradually. The flock dynamics seem great (two geese, one gander, 8 ducks) but the ducks have stopped laying since - and haven’t...- designbyaleks
