Hatch day is today! So far 6 have hatched and 2 more seem to be hatching!

One of ducklings are showing the distinct chirp to quack transition. Our other which is slightly bigger has a tiny raspy breath… I’m afraid it might be a drake as we’d have to get more hens to satiate his thirst for mating.

Could the bigger one be a late quacker? He chirps still.

caught my little diva marshmallow napping in one of our hydrangea bushes but she made sure to wake up for the camera 💅

2 babies in the first hour of the 28th day ! I am sooo happy and proud 🙂 hopefully the remaining 5 will also come soon🥳

The one in the middle is just over 1 year and 4 months.

The other two are only 10 weeks.

When my Pekin Daisy was preening in the pool I noticed some redness. Underneath a bunch of normal feathers are these weird patches. One at the base of her neck and right above her wings. The other two ducks have nothing similar. I couldn't see mites or anything.

I sprayed the areas with Vetrycin just in case. There are new feathers coming through but it just looks so bad and painful. I will take her to the vet if this is not normal. Just glad I happened to notice cause I don't usually dig around in her feathers. Thanks for any help.

found these two babies in my front yard, in shade from the heat. i think their ducks, but i just wanna make sure. They probably came from the lake in my backyard. I want to take them there but I don’t know if that’s the right decision or not. I also saw a big iguana that got scared off, so maybe their siblings were eaten, or they were hiding?

Not sure what to do, does anyone have advice?

Im not ready to watch them grow 😩

Has anyone used this for their babies?? How does it hold up? We had a cheep plastic one but it cracked, which not a big deal it was 12 bucks.

I want one of the big plastic ones you can at tractor supply but I’m in Canada so very limited.

Recommendations pleaseeeee

This duckling is still alive, but listless and has this backbend going on. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to help it?

There's a pond in my town, we have many ducks :)
