    Beak concerns

    Hi All, I have been noticing some dark spots on our ducks beak at the top. It does at times look a little sore/red. The last few days she has developed a pink scab on the bottom of her beak, any advice?

    Loud duck!

    Hi! I have 3 2 month old ducks and the Cayuga quacks/honks really, really loudly whenever I go outside and she sees me, why is this? She is quite friendly and I don’t think it’s out of fear, many times she does it whilst running up to me. I am not particularly annoyed by the behavior it’s just...

    Broken egg in vent

    Hello! I noticed this evening that one of our hens has a broken egg in her vent. She has been acting off for a few days and tonight was the first night she let us get a good look. I will post a picture for reference. What can I do to help her feel better?

    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...

    Can I use tap water and hose water for my ducks?

    I have some ducks hatching soon and I would like to know if I can use tap and hose water for my ducks. While they’re small I would like to let them swim in the bath tub/sink. When they get older the plan is to get them a kiddie pool and fill it up with water. This is my first time hatching...

    What kills ducks in the philippines at night?

    Should I help?

    So this egg has been like this for almost 36 hours now (duck eggs) and I've heard yes and no answers to helping. It looks like the membrane is dry (it's a yellowish color) and it has broken through, but it hasn't made any progress at this point. Should I assist even a little? If so how?
