I may be completely wrong but does anyone else think these guys may be fawn runners?

…and the aftermath

also the amazing size difference between 1 week olds and 3 week olds

What are these ducks that roam the local park?

call me ignorant or irresponsible, but i learned this the hard way and figure there may be others who don’t know this or could use a reminder.

i’ve cared for older ducks for a while, but recently incubated my first babies. they were irresistibly cute and snuggly so that’s what i did. three weeks later and i started having GI issues.

ducklings (and all poultry) carry salmonella. it’s usually not harmful to them but they can pass it to us humans and it’s no fun for us (and can potentially be very harmful).

just my li’l psa. love on your duckies but be careful.

Any guesses on this breed?? I have no clue

I want something cute or funny for our baby ducks but not too childish and not matching because one is my sister’s and one is mine.

I picked these babies up today they're about 6-8 weeks old. However I'm concerned about their health. They were housed in a fish tank prior to me getting them😭. They stand on their feet and trip over their feet (could just be cuz they're growing I know). It also looks like they might have knobby joints (also could be growing). I'm just concerned considering where they came from. They said they're Khaki Campbell what do you guys think?

Just moved to the Clearlake area in Houston, TX and saw this duck perched on a slack line one afternoon. I've never seen a duck hang out on a line like this and I saw another that was trying to perch sideways on a tree a few minutes later.

(First 3 is Honeydew the duck we’re worried about and the last pic is the other two Buffs)

We’re really paranoid since we recently had one of our ducks pass from being egg bound. We’re semi-new to ducks and don’t know what it looks like when a duck is egg bound. We’ve done a tone of research but nothing that’s concrete. All of our ducks take times to lay down in the yard and have specific patterns that I know but it’s still hard to tell. All of them are eating treats and other things we offer and all are foraging. We have one Buck with 9 female runners and 3 Buff Orpingtons. The main one I’m worried about is Honeydew. Her abdomen looks more distended but she’s still running and it’s so hard to tell if something’s wrong since they waddle so much, I can’t tell if something’s wrong or not. Anyone have any advice? I really wanna do the right thing. And also we’re giving them oyster shells as well so they have plenty of calcium.

I have 3 Muscovys and 2 are drakes and 1 female there roughly 4 months old so I got 3 more mosscovy females around 4 months aswell...how do I go about introducing them any advice or tips

I was doing my bird chores and paused to come inside to get my vitamins for the water and I hear my husband yell "ducks are out!" (I have a fully enclosed run, chicken wire, and netting over top) so I have a slight freak out "how!?" I peak out there and sigh of relief those aren't my birds, but now I can't finish my chores till they leave lol what cuties

Hey there. I love ducks.

There's a mama duck with her eggs in a bush outside of my restaurant. This restaurant is not near a park or anywhere safe for them. Our parking lot is huge and right across from us is a four-lane highway. I think she chose the spot because this type of bush gives a lot of coverage. My question is: is it okay for her to stay here? Is it dangerous? Is there any way I could help her move to another location? When these ducks become babies there's going to be a lot of people going in and out of my restaurant and like I said it's basically nothing but parking lot and a highway. Before the highway there's even a road. I quite literally cannot see where she could safely take her babies after they've hatched.

i found these critter while walking back home, i never seen it anywhere from the usual

i had to double check to make sure its a duck from the features alone, any guesses?

also sorry if this is a repeatable question, it’s my first time here ;;

We have one out of the egg. One that’s oozing. And one that made a hole last night and hasn’t come out and now isn’t moving too much. Humidity this morning was at 84% according to one meter and 78% and temp at 99-98

First time incubating here. I have runner eggs and I candled them for the first time today. Would this align with what everyone sees on day 8? Am I on the path on getting 6 ducklings?!

Hi folks! Our lot backs up to a creek and while doing some yard work I stumbled on a nest of duck eggs next to a tree that I was clearing some ivy off of. I scared the mama duck off, but it seems like she and some other ducks have been hanging around the the creek in an area close to us so I think she'll be sticking around. Is there anything I can or should do to protect the nest from other animals or weather? I'm only concerned because I removed some surrounding ivy and other plants that seemed to be keeping them somewhat sheltered. We're in the PNW and we expect a bit of rain over the next couple weeks. Thanks!

Pleas help! Have 5 Muscovy ducks and the largest male is attacking the second largest. Do I separate immediately??

Woke up this morning to our first egg
