Hi all, I’m new to owning ducks and have been researching owning call ducks only issue I’m having is finding out if they are suitable for the Arizona heat. I would love any and all information for new duck owners that would be helpful as well. Thank you all so much.
Feels like I've been posting questions about my ducks a lot recently :D. I have three ladies, about a year old this month. They've been very reliable layers with three eggs in the duck house each morning, up until the last two or three weeks or so. At first the drop seemed to be because one of...
So our welsh harlequin hen incubated eggs on her own. They were doing perfect up until the external pips. One egg ended up pretty smushed because momma got nervous and stepped on her. This is our first time hatching eggs so we figured to just let her be and she would take care of it.. well it...
I visited one of the local lakes today and fed the ducks a mix of Purina feed, Mazuri feed, and mealworms. A lot got picked up by grackles & pigeons, and unfortunately some ducks didn’t even recognize it as food (so used to eating bread).. but those who did eat it were clearly very grateful ❤️...
I have a beautiful female that is a good egg layer for sale for $35.00 I am in the Phoenix valley, AZ (Mesa). four eight zero two zero two three four zero three - Also 5 week old baby Indian Runners - $25 for females & $15 for males. Adult is white with some pale tan coloring. Babies are black -...
Hi everyone, I just got these two ducklings dropped off to me and I need help identifying their breed. Apparently they’re both female but that’s about all I know. Pics aren’t the best but hopefully enough, I have chickens but don’t know the same amount about ducks.
I have 4 female silver apple yard ducks since last year, they've been laying 4 eggs total everyday no problem (except winter some less, of course). This spring I got a male American buff goose and a female Pekin duck, they're 3 months old now, we raised them together. We slowly integrate them to...
Hi, I have had call duck eggs in the incubator for a little over 22-24 days and they have been wiggling the eggs back and forth for about a day but still have not piped. Is this normal and when should I expect them to pip? I put them in incubation lockdown a few days ago as a precaution. Thank you!
It’s that time again! Here’s some videos of my ducks from the past month :wee
I also received 2 goslings 4 days ago, and they’re doing great! The darker one is Cinnamon, and the yellow one is Nutmeg. Here’s some photos:
Hello all,
I am in urgent need of help. I think my female duck has Wry neck. Her neck is all bent and she can’t walk, eat or drink. I have been helping her eat and drink but she doesn’t look good. I am very worried about her and I don’t know what to do to help her. Please please please any help...
Hey guys I’m new to all this. Picked up some baby ducks from tractor supply. I use to have them growing up when I was really young and barely remember. Anyway I was holding one and it started throwing up to an extent. It was like a saliva sorta thing, but had chunks of food in it or something...
Hi everyone, my Cayuga ducks laid this egg about three days ago and i noticed yesterday the formation of a black dot in the center that’s become more prominent today. Is this a good sign? Or has the egg lost its chance? I cant make out any veins quite yet!
Hello all to come to see this, I have 3 ducks that need to be rehomed. The local laws in my area state we can't have male's and out of the 3 eggs... 2 are male. So instead of rehoming 2 and leaving my sole female to be depressed without a flock, I am going to rehome all three and restart. If you...
Hi I am fairly new to raising ducklings domestically.
I adopted four ducklings as I wasnt happy about their living situation.
They are all amazing, each with a personality.
Over the past couple of days I noticed they all sneeze, with runny noses, little to zero coughing, but mostly the...
Open to all breeds, but would like either runners or call ducks. I’d love to get involved in showing, and I want to do it from hatch to hopefully champion row at a show :). Located in SWFL, I would be willing to pick up or have them shipped. I’d consider live young ducklings as well. I’d like to...
Hello!
Around a month ago, these weird spots started forming on my female ducks head. At first they just looked like crusty dirty feathers. I would wash them daily but they came back the next day. I thought maybe it was from excessive mating but I'm not so sure now. It's about a month later...
I’m at a loss on ideas i tried looking up what could cause this and can’t find anything. the eggs are rested a few hours before put in and put in pointy end down humidity on lockdown is 70% and temperature is 99.5 this egg was doing fine moving when i put it in the incubator for lockdown on day...
