I have 5 female Rouens, 1 male Rouen, and 1 male Pekin duck. Several weeks ago, I separated 4 females with my male Rouen and left 1 female with my male Pekin because I wanted to hatch out some pure Rouen ducklings. Since I was waiting out the two week period to where they should all be pure...
New to ducks :)
I know it’s probably too early but one of my ducklings voice has started to change and I was wondering if anyone could tell which way it’s leaning? This video is from a few days ago but it’s best recording I have of the voice. I picked them up from the feed store on 3/26 and I’d...
My nearly three year old Mallard bantam still won't allow the blue fawn drake I introduce to them two weeks ago to breed any of the female ducks.
He breeds the mallard hen he came with, and attempts to force the rouen hen to copulate (this rouen is the absolute best friend of my dominant mallard...
I have four adorable little ducklings for sale at $7 each! The ducklings are about
one week old as of when this was posted.
There are three Rouen mix ducklings (yellow and black) and one welsh harlequin and most likely appleyard mix duckling (yellow). We can’t tell you for sure what they will...
Hello does anyone know why my Rouen’s back feathers are sticking up like this? I’ve had her for about 10 months and she should be fully grown by now. The feathers started looking like this a few days ago and isn’t present on any of my other ducks.
We had an amazingly successful duckling hatch last week- so much so that we have more ducks than we need or want!
The ducks are straight run (we’re not confident enough to try to sex them ourselves) and are a mix of mostly rouen and various runners. They hatched between 12/1-12/3 so they’re a...
Please help, we were recently given 11 ducks of various breeds, and are trying to figure out what breeds and ducks/drakes we have.
Can Black Swedish have black spots on their chest? Does green head automatically mean male? Are the two light ones Silver Appleyard?
Hi, my Rouen female is under weight and it’s getting closer to winter. I’m not sure how to get her to gain more weight. This morning I went out to feed them and she was shivering and it’s only about 38 degrees out. I’ve tryed everything I can think of. Any ideas? Thank you
I have one Rouen and two Swedish Blue ducks, about 6 weeks old. I give them a bowl (about 5 ounces) of starter feed, another bowl of lettuce in water, and a bowl of cooked oatmeal in water (also about 5 ounces) TWICE a day, plus a few handfuls of meal worms. They devour everything in minutes...
Help!
A bit of back story -
We tried to hatch six Minature Silver Appleyards, we unfortunately only hatched one little duck which meant a quick panic trip to a local farm to buy some more ducklings to keep the little one company (who was only happy when being played youtube videos of other...
We lost our female Rouen today :( and need a new companion for our male. I am looking for a mature sized female to get as soon as possible. She doesn't have to be a Rouen but preferably a duck of similar size. We are located in the greater Philadelphia area.
HELP!
Something attacked my duck! (Could of been another duck, I dont know!) He has sores on the back of neck and is bleeding. He is also holding his head funny, and not moving head or neck.
He is walking a bit, but mostly sitting.
Not eating (even mealworms, his fav) or drinking.
His poop is white.
Picked up a couple ducks from the assorted ducklings at Tractor Supply back in April, and I initially thought that she was a Rouen like the other duckling we got. However, she's significantly smaller and darker than our Rouen. I know Hoover (who supplies Tractor Supply) sells Golden 300...
Hey All!
I've got 5 ducks- 1 Rouen drake, 2 Pekin hens, and 2 Khaki Campbell hens. The Pekin hens are a little over a year old and were raised together since day olds in the brooder. We had an Orptington drake brought up with them that we lost several months ago to a predator. Since then, one...
I have two sweet rouen males, 4 months old, that need a home. I ended up with a bad number of males to females, unfortunately. These two have only ever known each other and are pretty bonded. It's heartbreaking to part with them and I really want to make sure they'll go to a good home. I'm...
