    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.

    Geese noise levels

    How noisy are geese compared to ducks? I have 6 ducks (new to ducks) my husband told me last night are too loud and annoying (I barely notice them) and I can't get anymore or replace any of these when they pass. I was planning to add geese next spring, but now I am worrier that dream is being...

    Need help identify duck breed?

    hello I’m hoping one of you can help us identify what kind of ducks these are. We saved one from a local duck pond (left on the sidewalk) and two my husband got from a local duck farm. Also can you tell if they are male or female yet or can you not tell until they are older? Thanks in advance!
