Hey there! We recently got Gabby, a 3 and a half week old Silver Appleyard (or at least that’s what I have been advised she is on this website!)
We’ve had her since a day or two old (gotten at TSC) but just noticed these two bumps on her little feet… I have dealt with bumble foot before (well...
As some of you read here, we lost our silver appleyard boy Angus a couple weeks ago (best guess based on exam, bloodwork and x-rays suggests testicular cancer). Angus, who was seven years old, was our only drake, which put a wrench in our plans to trade fertilized eggs with another local silver...
Hi, I recently purchased these 5 ducks including 4 young ducks and a 2 year old female duck. I've done some research on what breed and the previous owner said they were Welsh Harlequins. I think that's the case although I feel that the older duck may be a Silver Appleyard and the others being...
I’m having immense difficulty in sexing my two silver Appleyard’s - they’re quacks sound similar and because I only have the two it’s hard to identify.
They both do not have a drake feather and their black feathers on their heads ect. have no green iridescence. The only things that make me think...
My mother started incubating her duck eggs seven days ago. They're being hand turned 3-4 times a day, and she got them straight from a breeder, no shipping or rough handling besides brushing off the clumped mud and crap. Tonight while candling them she noticed multiple egg yolks were moving from...

Pretty much all my silver appleyard ducklings have a black stripe, but one has a brown stripe, and I was just wondering why.
Here's a picture of the brown one next to a black one:
Any ideas why he has a brown stripe?
He was like this when he was born and he is now a few weeks old and it's...
Hi interested in owning ducks for a first time and need advice.
First full disclaimer, I have no intention of getting this done immediately. I have more than a month at least before I start these plans upon which I’ll be thinking more on whether I really want ducks, as per the wiki’s advice. I...
So, even though I wasn't planning on bringing home any babies the other day.... I just had to look at the chick tanks at Rural King on the way to another aisle. It got me really excited to see what I thought were Silver Appleyard ducklings in the tank.
It seems like Hoover Hatchery likes to...
Hi, I recently added more ducks to my flock. I will be hatching ducklings in the spring from my flock to sale and I was wondering if anyone has mixed these breed if so what did they look like. I love to see pictures either duckling and/or adults.
