We have 3 drakes that I plan on, hopefully, separating into their own pen in a couple weeks but I need some feedback from you all.
Currently all 3 get along perfectly living together with the females and 2 younger ducks. I do keep an eye on all of them to make sure they leave each other alone...
These are my two ladys, they are very mischievous, and intelligent.
I am still working on getting them used to people picking them up (they imprinted on me as ducklings, but hate being picked up) so Im trying to make being picked up as enjoyable as I can (like giving them a cup of water with...
Lola, my Pekin, was adopted late spring. She had been dumped in a retention pond and was found hurt. She is fully recovered and the joy of the barnyard! They think she’s bw 1 and 2 years but not exact. On my birthday mid August I found her two first eggs. Ever since she has laid one s day and...
I have 2 khakis 12 weeks old and I thought I had Harry and Sally. Harry being the darker one with white spot. But his quacking even tho it doesn’t sound quacky isn’t what I’d expect from a male after all the research I’ve attempted to do. He’s loud. And definitely the louder if the two. No...
Hello!
We are new to incubating eggs and recently hatched our first duckling which is now 5 weeks old. We have a young Khaki Campbell (?) duck that has been a bit tricky to sex, I was wondering if anyone can help us or if it is too early to say with any confidence.
Edit: We were sold these...
Thoughts on males/females? 2 & 3 have green beaks. The others are hard to distinguish other than they are larger than the green beak ones. They don’t make too much noise except one really loud quacker(1)! Khaki Campbell’s
12 Little Khaki Campbells arrived today (Pic #1). Spent the morning redoing all that I had planned to do in the brooder. Stuff like the height of the bowls, height of the cave, placement of the stuff.
They're still a little frazzled from the long ride,, so I'm letting them settle in before I go...
I have an 8 week old duckling who has developed angel wing, I wrapped her with vet wrap to hold it in place but the other ducks are charging at her and won’t let her near them ( all females ) has anybody had this issue before? Would really like to take care of the angel wing without her getting...
Hi!! I am wanting to see if anyone can help me tell if my Khaki Campbells are males or females. They are about 7 weeks old now and we are new duck owners. I know that the males usually get the darker head and the curled tail feather but everything I read said that is usually when they are a bit...
Hello! I don't have much to share yet, but this Summer I will have 4 Welsh Harlequin Hens and 1 Drake. I wasn't planning on a Drake at first, but I may as well since I'm ordering Ducks anyway, and they will all be the same age. The picture below shows a beautiful Bahama Pintail Duck. I came...
Hi Folks,
New here tho I have been checking in for a couple of years. I have a question today regarding a duck we hatched. The ducks mother a khaki Campbell was nailed by a hawk ☹️.
I knew her eggs tho and put one under a Sussex Speckled hen who shared brooding duties with other hens but ended...
Hello! You can skip to the end of this paragraph for my two questions. Here is the background information. So I have a Khaki Campbell duck who I call Alfalfa. She laid her first egg at 4 months old. Is this normal? Every article I read says khakis start laying at 5-7 months old. She has been...
I posted a few weeks back after Chicky started limping badly on her right leg. The vet didn't see any signs of a break and gave her pain killers, and she gradually started walking normally again and we figured that was that.
I noticed yesterday that she was moving slow, hunched posture, far...
Hi, we just had two Khaki Campbells hatch successfully however this little fella was upside down and hadn’t moved for ages. Whilst I took first duckling out the incubator I quickly turned the egg upwards and duckling started moving again, however in the last 3 hours it hasn’t made any progress...
I know this might disturb some people but I need to compare to an egg that I'm suspicious of.
As of tomorrow, it will have been 1 week since incubation started. The rest of the eggs are looking great but there's this one that's really throwing me off so I would like to compare it to know if it's...
Hello, I am having issues figuring out if I have all drakes, females, or some combo. They are about 6-8 weeks old at my beat guess. Any help is appreciated as this is my first duck adventure. 😁
Hi,
my female duck Daisy has always been special, we hatched her out ourselves (the only one of 6 eggs) and she was born with a short neck (this wasn’t noticed till we bought 2 more ducklings to keep her company), I’ve always noticed that she breathes very noticeably, like she’s run a marathon...
Hello! I have four wonderful ducks for sale in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. I really just want them to go to a good home. They are all just about one year old, I have one female khaki campbell, one male khaki campbell and two female welsh harlequins. I’d be willing to sell all four together or the...
Hello! I’m sure this is asked a lot, buuuut, I adopted 2 khaki Campbell ducklings about a month ago, they are about 6 weeks old now. One has sprouted up super quickly and started “quacking” and growing feathers about 3 weeks ago, while the other still just peeps and started growing their...
