I used to have 2 geese (I raised them from goslings but they were killed by a fox when they were still very young) and they did well with my flock, however the ducks outnumbered them by a lot. I have seen many people successfully raise a single duck and a single goose together so I honestly...
All 6 boys that hatched last summer are re-homed !! I now have 9 girls and 2 boys. And my two call ducklings that I don’t know the genders of yet aha. Marzipan has been inside for 3 days now (with supervised free range time) and she’s starting to look a lot better. Her lump is still there but I...
I just found someone who will take all 6 boys on Sunday !! So I’m just going to keep them here until then because my grandma lives farther from them than me and keep Marzipan inside. I’m really hoping this works out !!
Yeah I guess I’ll give it a try and if they terrorize him too much I’ll just take him back.
And aw that is so sweet !! I’m so glad it worked out for him and his new owner’s duck :)
A few of them are missing some feathers on their necks and backs but most of them are basically untouched. And I’ll try to give her 6 then, it’s just that one of the boys that I’m willing to rehome (i simply can’t part with my 2 older boys) is missing some feathers and I’m not sure if it’s from...
I have 9 females and 8 males. At least 5 of the drakes are leaving tomorrow though, my grandmother is keeping them until I can find homes. All of them are together right now with the exception of Marzipan who is in our garage.
Yeah I’m considering getting rid of all 6 of the young drakes and just keeping the originals, but one of the young ones got a bunch of his feathers plucked out and I’m assuming it’s from the other drakes so Im nervous to leave him alone with them. Do you think he would be fine if there were no...
My grandmother is taking 5 of the drakes tomorrow until I can find them a home. They’re all mixed breeds bc they’re the offspring of the entirety of my flock. I have advertised on Craigslist and Facebook and I just made a post here as well. I originally only had 2 drakes but when the babies...
Hello everyone, my poor welsh harlequin has a nasty lump on her neck from over-mating and I was hoping for some assistance because I am beyond worried for her. As of right now I have WAY too many drakes, because I let my muscovy hatch some of everyone’s eggs last summer and have been unable to...
I have 3 drakes in desperate need of rehoming (I am located in CT). It’s not that I don’t have the time or resources to care for them, I just have WAY too many drakes and they are tearing one of my females apart. I don’t know why they single out my welshy, but they do and she now has an...
