    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...

    My call ducks have the same illness... help

    Hi everyone! I have 5 newer call ducklings, they are around 4 months old and over the past week (or so) two of the ducklings and one of my senior call ducks have developed this strange "cough" -- it sounds very watery, and they have recently begun to sneeze a lot. All 3 of these guys go into the...

    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...

    administering oral medications

    Hello, A few days ago, my duck (5-6 weeks old) fractured a vertebrae low in her neck. I took her to an avian vet on an emergency appointment, who treated her and gave us oral meds (meloxidyl 1 mL dose) to take home and administer for 7 days. The vet told me one way to administer (the correct...

    Male or female muscovy ducklings??

    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...

    Working on new call duck pens.

    I'm building new call duck pens for my wife. The ones she has now are getting pretty old. I'm doing this all out of my head so I'm expecting a few headaches along the way. Last photo of the current cages.

    Welsh Harlequin ducks male?

    First time duck (and chicken) mom. I got two ducks from tractor supply 8 weeks ago. They were any breed or sex. My friend and I agree they are likely Welsh Harlequins, but she says they’re probably both boys. I trust that, but I’m curious what you all say? I am very sad because I keep them with...

    Did I hatch a Lavender or Lilac Swedish duck? Some other color?

    So I just hatched some eggs from my own flock for the first time in almost a decade. I had kind of a strange hatch, some eggs started hatching very early, some on time and some hatched VERY late. I guess I'm a bit rusty and probably goofed up on incubating these eggs somewhere but I've never had...
