Sick or stressed duckling?
Hello! New member and new duck parent here. I have seven 5 week old magpie ducklings. One duckling, Lemon, was doing fine this morning and acting normal. At around noon, we noticed that she didn’t want anything to do with treats or playtime. She started to vomit water and we immediately put the...- Magpiesrulex

Ruffled Feathers
Hello friends! One of my Magpie ducks has had their feathers ruffled for at least a week now, probably closer to two weeks. Outside of that, he/she seems fine. I’m not sure on poop because we have 10 ducks so it’s hard to tell who did what. But all the poop I’ve seen in general seems normal. I... -

Ducks won’t lay
I have 3 magpie ducks, 2 are hens and 1 is a drake. The goal was to breed them, but I’ve ran into a problem as they are over 6 months old and I still haven’t gotten a single egg out of them and I can’t figure it out. They are fed layer pellets, have clean water, fresh straw bedding, and have... -
Magpie with blue eyes
So I have a small assortment of ducklings (10 total, around 3 weeks old). I have a few magpie, one is mainly white with a few black spots. I noticed this morning while she was looking at the sun that her eyes are very light blue. I tried to look it up to see if it means anything or if she could... -

Letting Mamas Raise Ducklings
I’ve got 3 Magpie Duck hens and 1 drake. 2 of the hens went broody right before I left on vacation. They’ve been sitting on eggs for around 18 days now. I’ve raised ducks in a brooder but never let a mama raise them. Lots of questions! 1. Should I take their pool away and just give water deep... -

Molting Issue?
All the rest of my ducks and chickens completely molted this past fall, except my one duck Spinach. He molted all his feathers except his flight feathers, they’re just raggedy sticks now. Is this a health concern? He is a Muscovy/magpie duck mule, his sister was mentally and physically disabled...- emmabellybutton

How long do magpie duck eggs take to hatch?
Hey everyone. I am wondering how long do magpie duck eggs take to hatch. From what I see on different websites they aren’t really adding up. Some say just 20 days, and others are saying about the same as other ducks. And help would be appreciated!- proudduckowner22

Hello from south Mississippi
My wife and I wandered into a local feed store back in March. My purpose was to look at the chicks as I’ve always wanted backyard poultry. There were plenty of chicks but also we noticed ducklings as well which we loved. We discussed it that evening and headed back to the feed store the next...- WAP

Can Ducks live happily and healthy without pond
I think it would be cool to own ducks in the future (Khaki Campbell, Magpie, Indian Runner, and/or Call ducks) but where I live having a pond may or may not be feasible in the future. Advice is appreciated. Thx,- NinjaGamer2022

Magpies
We have 1 magpie duck that is about 6 months old. The duck is lonely and needs a friend, yet everywhere I've looked is sold out of magpie's. Does anyone know of any for sale or have any to sell? I'm in Indiana and depending on location I'd even be willing to come pick up. -
Duckling with possible water belly
Hello, I've noticed something strange about one of my ducklings, Daffodil (Daffy). She's a Magpie duck ("blue" magpie) and about 6 weeks old. Her lower belly seems a bit large/swollen, and she has a different posture than the two other ducklings (Daisy, blue magpie, and Dandy, a mixed breed)... -

Voice Sexing 6 Week Old Ducklings
I realize this is a question that has been asked many times before, and I've listened to a lot of videos, but I was hoping to get a few opinions. I'm fairly certain I have three little drakes, but as a new duck mom, I don't trust my own judgment. Forgive the video quality, I tried to get them...
