Can you help me determine what day this egg is on?

Muscovy duck egg , I believe to be day 24? I’m not sure ! I have to stop turning the egg soon but don’t want to stop too early/ too late - any help determining how many days this little duckling has been brewing ? Thanks 🙏🏽

When should I transition ducklings outside?

Hello!

We have four Cayuga ducklings we are currently raising. They are three weeks old currently. We currently let them outside with some supervision.

We live in Michigan where the weather is unpredictable at times. At what age should we transition them outside and will they be okay in Michigan winters at a young age? Online has varying recommendations and just need to make sure they are good when it gets a little colder.

They will have a duck house that has the proper ventilation, an enclosed run (8ft by 8ft) and when its not terribly snowing allowed to free roam while we are home in a completely fenced half acre.

Thank you!

My duck's never been in the rain before, and here they are surprised and loving it.

So I’m pretty sure my ducks love chill music!

Again, maybe it’s all in my head… but Cyprus hill & Sublime seemed to get this reaction every time… and snoop dogg! Maybe they’re not dancing! But I hope they are 🥰😂🤞🏼I’m sure I see those tiny little wings bopping along?!?! Ps. Got many other artist to test out!

Deworming??

I lost a rooster a couple days ago and, I honestly have no idea what happened, he seemed fine until he didn't, but I'm going to start by worming my flock. They all seem completely fine, but I've been seeing some runny poop (I know that's normal for ducks though). The plan is to use Safe-Guard for goats. I've been told it's the best way to go with chickens and the website actually had dosing instructions for turkeys, but now I'm worried about my ducks. Has anyone ever used this on their ducks, or have a better suggestion for a dewormer I could use on the entire flock?
