    Air sac help?!

    Hi, I have 10 eggs in an incubator currently on day 23. The ringed teal eggs are doing great and the air cell is the right size. The wood ducks are way too small for day 23. More day 10. Confused as they in the same incubator. Any help or ideas on what I could do this late on?

    Duck lost his voice/ is raspy

    Okay, so let me give you some background first. We have a 5 year old wood duck who we believe may have contracted aspergillosis (we aren’t sure how, his pin is spotless, we use sand for flooring and food is changed twice a day.) after we found him super raspy one day. We have not definitively...

    Duck Diapers for Wood Ducks

    Has anyone diapered a long tailed small duck before, like a wood duck? I've been looking at parrot diapers, not sure if there is anything better. :)

    how much is reasonable to pay for wood duck eggs?

    I've seen them on eBay for like $10 an egg, is this reasonable and is there anywhere else to get them besides eBay? what temperature and humidity levels do they need to be kept at and also what is the hatch rate? any help is greatly appreciated.

    Wood duck nest box not working

    We installed 3 wood duck nest boxes several years ago. And I’m observing wood ducks on the lake. But it seems they won’t use the nice and safe pine shaving filled boxes. Any suggestions?

    I looked at it and nothing seems broken. He does not seem uncomfortable or in pain other than that?it. He can stretch out his leg, and put a bit of weight on it, but is having trouble walking. He also can swim pretty well with it too. I think it happened in one of his many attempts at flying...
