Oh my! Adorable!!!!I just hatched these little babies. It's my first attempt at incubating eggs. I believe these guys are Indian runner ducklings![]()
Come to think of it, she hasn't yet. Everyone else has molted besides her. Thank you so much for reminding me of that!Did she molt this year? All but 2 of my ducks molted this year and there is a stark difference between them. They are all healthy but the crispy feathered girls really need to molt! They look rough.
Poor guy!One of my drakes is the same way! He doesn't appear to have any health problems, he's just super scroungey ALL the time!
I have 8 adult ducks and they are Saxony, Indian runner, and muscovy. I also have 6 teenage ducks that are Saxony or Pekin. I thought it would be really hard to hatch ducks based on all the forums but I set the temp, turned them a couple of times a day and bam they hatched! It's just a regular electrical thermostat incubator, picked it up for 60 bucks 2nd handLucky you! Wish I could hatch. What kind of incubator are you using? What kind of adult ducks to you have?
I use a long bamboo pole and sometimes just my arms they are all use to me herding them so even if I just open my arms now they all go where I want ,but for a few rebellious ones the long pole works great.10 duck here. 9 khakis and 1 Cayuga. We raised them from chicks last year. We just herded them across to the garden for the first time yesterday. It was so awesome, and fairly simple but What are your herding techniques? We cannot let the "run free" or they will run into the forest and/or get eaten by foxes, wreaked, etc;. So into the net covered garden it is. How do you move your ducks and chickens around your yard?
I have no idea but you might have better luck posting the the goose area https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/47/geeseI have a goose question. I have 4 geese. 1 Chinese gander. 1 Toulouse or Steinbacher goose and 2 cross breeds (was told they were off spring of the others and that they were female). Now my question.... I only get 1 egg every 2 days. They started a nest and are sitting. The Toulouse/Steinbacher and the 2 crosses guard and take turns sitting on eggs. They will not allow the Chinese gander any where near. Is that normal or could 1 of the mixes be a gander and the mate to the Toulouse/Steinbacher?. In this picture from right to left- Chinese gander(white), Toulouse/Steinbacher goose, then the 2 crosses. I have only had them for a month.![]()

And does anyone know the breed of the goose. Was told it was Toulouse but it has the black been tip and lips of the Steinbacher?.![]()
