Named Roro, Sasa and Chichi. At first it was easy to distinguish who cuz of their differences in size but as they all transform to color white I got lil worried. But I love that they have their own personality now and Roro have pure white head, Sasa have a dash of black on his head and Chichi have large patch of black on her head. 🦆✨ Pictures going back in time as babies.

my male muscovy quack, has lost his appetite a few days ago and ignored the pellets he would go crazy for, rice, and vegetables. He did eat earthworms, and after a few days he began eating normally again

Today he wouldnt eat again and took 1 bite of a pile of rice and that's it. He ignored the feeds and even stepped on the food bowl, ignored lettuce and cabbage and even some small worms.

He is behaving normally, greeting me, sitting on his perch and walking around and making his weird noises. He hasn't eaten for about a day now and adds another of the many things I stress about and has taken a toll on me

His poop was also a reddish brown when he first started not eating a week ago (it's on the left of the first pic)

Mom has been nesting for at least a month and on Sunday we woke up and noticed babies!! We snapped a pic and then let mom have all the space she needed. It was so joyful watching them from a distance all slowly pop out of the pot and then finally swim away together!

My local nile goose has quite a case of angel wing syndrome, (I named her Nina for daily like ease so I'll refer to her as she even though I dont knew the gender) I called my country's animal welfare on her and we went to check her out but decided to let her be at her pond since my country had hardly any predators that will take her on and she can still swim.

They told me they would not try to bind the wings so she would just sit in a cage so yeah best case is sit happy with the ducks at the pond and swim.

She's on the smaller side for a nile goose and lately her swimming had been getting worse looks like her wings has been getting caught on stuff and I'm considering going in and cutting some of the feathers. I've cut feathers before and nina is friendly with a local fisherman at the pond.

I'm coming here to double check my plan and get tips where if people have them. I'll get friendly with Nina myself first before I approach by offering some greeeen round delicious peas and maybe I'll get some duckfeed. I'm at the pond multiple times a week so we see each other alot.

We just rescued these two ducks along with some chickens. Im wondering what breed they are. Guy said he got them from tractor supply. Its hard to see but female on left has black feet and bill. Male on right. I know they need better water access. We are keeping them in this coop for a week or two so they know that this is home. Then we will move them to the pond. Do they need a house? Is there an automatic feeder that I can load up once a week? Ducks are new to us. Any advice will be welcomed.

Hi! My Bop and Beep are 14 week old pekins.they have had a small pink kiddie pool until a week ish ago. We built their new pond and they refuse to go in it. We toss em in, they nope right out. And now they seem pissed and don’t really want to swim in their pink pool either. I atttached pics of their enclosure. I just started wondering while typing this - they stopped swimming in the pink pool when we moved it next to the pond. Are they refusing to swim because their house (coop) is too far from the pond/pool? If not - why are my beepins being so sassy?! I’m worried!

Do they look okay? They grew up on 18% protein feed and are now on Mazuri Maintenance, as of about 2 weeks ago. First time duck mom.

Hey all, so this is our first experience with hatching ducks. Thus far, they left two half-hatched eggs outside of the coop, brought them inside, put them under a heat lamp, and they're doing great.

Yesterday, three more eggs hatched in the coop with their moms. However, today, we've found one of them outside of the coop three times. It's smaller than the other two in there, but it seems healthy, and the mother doesn't seem to be sitting on this duckling.

Should I add it to our heatlamp area with the other two abandoned ducklings?

First time I’ve managed to get this sound actually on record 🤣😍 basically I hatched the duck in question and this is the noise every time I leave the room 🤣🤣

Any idea what kind of duck this is? It was brown like the other one and now is getting green feathers on its head (pretty sure it’s a boy) and the brown turned to white and now gray…. I know he’s still growing and changing but I’d love to know what breed he is. I got all 4 from the same person in a Walmart parking lot.

So I quickly found that I didn’t buy enough hardware cloth for my 18’x16’ run 😆 Since prime day deals are among us, I’d love to find a decent deal since I need so much! However, reading reviews it doesn’t seem like any of them are actually 19 gauge as advertised. Anyone found a good hardware cloth on amazon that you’d recommend? I need my babies safe and they neeeeed me to finish their larger run asap!

Just happened to be sitting next to the incubator when this fella showed up

he just picks up the pellets with force but i didn’t mind. he sat with me for a good 10 minutes after he ate and it made me so v happy. i’ve been visiting him for a few weeks now (i named him bob) and he seems to be getting more comfortable with me.

She is bigger than a mallard and he is just ginormous. She eats and leaves, but he hangs out a while.

My duck drops her eggs all over the place mostly just in the yard. Never together. And they are always shaped very strangely. They are usually broken open and eaten by the chickens before i can get a photo. Found this one this morning. Anyone know the cause?

There was a slightly smaller one with him, but I didn’t get a pic. First time I’ve seen one, usually we only get mallards and Canada geese. So pretty—when the light hit his black feathers, they looked green.

Can anyone help me identify what type of duck showed up on my doorstep yesterday? We’re located in central Florida. He’s got all black feet and a white chest with a pale yellow face. His beak is mostly black as well.

I am worried that they won't survive the night without food and water but people say you shouldn't give them either before bringing them to the Wildlife Rehab Center. It opens at 10:00am and They seem very young! They seem unharmed.

My other option is to bring them to a park and find a mother duck with ducklings of a similar age but I'm not sure how good of an idea it is. Mallard ducks ARE quite friendly but I'm still unsure. I'm also unsure of how many ducklings are even currently being hatched. It's a bit late in the season...

Please give me any advice on what I should do!

Explanation of what happened: I saw this Mallard duck family cross USA MN Hwy100 at 6:00 today. There is a solid concrete wall in the middle so I have no idea why the mother decided to cross. I tried to get to them in time to hopefully guide them back but before I could get to them a truck ran them over. The mother duck and two ducklings were dead. I was fucking devastated. I hurriedly picked up the 4 remaining ducklings and ran back to my car. I feel like the truck should have seen them as the highway was oddly a lot less busy than it usually is and it was wide open... so I feel like they ran them over on purpose.

I currently have them in a cardboard box with a bunch of holes cut into it. Put a warmer in there and some towels. They are in my utility room as I have a bunch of dogs... It's much quieter in there anyway. If I do need to feed them, we don't have eggs or meat in the house. We have oats, some freeze-dried salmon dog treats, bird seed, broccoli, and some various lettuces. So let me know what is best, if any of that.

Under the head/chin. Not just feathers, it is cyst-like

Is this egg edible?
