Should I be free freeding?
My ducklings are three weeks old, four weeks on Friday. I’ve been letting them free feed and on warmer days I’ll put them outside to explore and forage. I know they’re still growing (fast!) but should I continue to let them free feed or take their food out at night?- Buttercup725

Is this normal?
Hi, again! I noticed today that my little Dill’s eyes look different. Not necessarily the eyeball itself but the surrounding area. He/she doesn’t have any eye discharge or any other health problems (that I’m aware of). I tried to get a good picture but Dill was petrified of my phone. ETA: I...- Buttercup725

What The Heck Is This?
Dill is 2 weeks old and I just noticed this yellow spot near his tail. He’s eating, drinking, and pooping just fine, and is pretty active and talkative. I’m new to younger ducklings and am lost as to what this could be. Anyone know what this is or could be?- Buttercup725

Telling Pekin Ducks Apart
I tried looking for other posts regarding this but really didn’t find the answer I’m looking for. If I overlooked a thread and am repeating, I apologize. My Pekin ducklings are about two weeks old now. I have a crested so I’ll be able to tell that one apart from the other two. I’ve seen that...- Buttercup725

HELP
Hello! This is duckling (Pekin) related so I hope I can get some help. I got two ducklings yesterday who are a few days old, I think. I forgot to ask when they hatched 🤦🏻♀️ One of the ducklings is fairly active and vocal. The one that I am concerned about is a little smaller, mellow, and a...- Buttercup725

Adding a baby Pekin…
I have chickens and ducks. My ducks are a female Pekin who is 1-2 (adopted so not precise) and 2 fem khakis. Lola, my Pekin loves her image in the mirror. Am I crazy to think she would like a friend that looks like her? Been thinking of adding a baby Pekin if I can’t find another female to...- Pamelasflock

Do ducklings chirp for their owner’s attention?
Aside for food, water, and warmth, do ducklings ever chirp for attention or cuddles from their owners?? Some of my ducklings won’t stop chirping unless I pick them up and cuddle with them, mostly at night. They’re not fully feathered yet, but I do let them outside to hang out during the day. I...- anonymous99

Unknown mixed eggs - Incubating both Muscovy and Pekin eggs at the same time?
We have both Pekins and Muscovies on purpose to raise meat birds. Two males of each breed and 7-8 females of each breed. The males don't care which females they mate with, so mules or hinnies are possible. This is our first year. We thought our Muscovies would be good at hatching out eggs for... -

3 week old pekin ducks sick?
Hello, I have 2 female 3 week old pekin ducks who might be sick. One has some crust on her eye, the others eye is somewhat red. They both breathe through their mouth and sometimes rapidly even when it is cool in the room. Their bowl of water is pretty deep they can reach to the bottom to rinse...- Cjoakes790

Voice sexing help
Hi all! My ducklings are ~5 and a half weeks old, and their voices are starting to change (which is super funny to listen to.. 😂). Just wondering if anyone has a clear video to listen to of a female’s quack Vs. drake noises? I’ve scoured YouTube but haven’t found any that are super clear/don’t... -

Injured Duckling
Hello! I came home from running errands and one of my ducklings is bleeding. I’m not sure how (s)he hurt themselves, but there’s not a ton of blood (picture attached), so I’m not super concerned, but what should I use to clean it? -
Growing up!
Hi! I’m not overly concerned about this, but I’ve attached a picture of the temporary “dry off” pen I have set up for my ducklings for after a bath. They have some bald spots on their wings, which I’ve read is normal? This just seemed like a lot of feathers to lose all at once, but I could be... -
Ducklings Outside?
Hi all! I’m wondering if it’s too early to transition my ducklings outside? They’ll be about four weeks (give it take) old next week, and are starting to feather out, and are rapidly out growing my brooder. I am getting a coop this week, and was thinking about setting it up, and putting their... -
Duckling Age?
Hi! So.I’m curious. I bought these ducklings, under the impression that they were a week old or younger. Which, by that logic, would make them about two weeks old now. But they are definitely losing their baby down (anytime we pick them up or pet them, their fuzz goes everywhere), and I swear... -
Brewer’s/Nutritional Yeast Suggestions?
What does everyone use for brewers yeast/nutritional yeast for ducklings? I’m new to this, so I’m unsure of which brands are best and things like that. My babes are currently eating Purina Flock Raiser Crumble, and are getting liquid vitamin B in their water, but their legs haven’t fully... -
Messy Ducklings
Hi! So let me preface this by saying, I know ducklings/ducks are messy, and it’s just in their nature. BUT. I’m here to see if anyone has any tips or tricks on how to keep their bedding less soaked? I attached a picture here that is an hour after I had completely dumped and cleaned the... -
Different aged ducklings together?
Are you all sick of me and my questions yet? 😉 I’m getting four more ducklings on April 29th (that was the soonest my feed store could get them in, as I don’t buy my ducklings from TSC), and they’ll be a week old, potentially younger. I have three ducklings right now that will be around 5-ish... -
Niacin Deficiency?
