I hope it doesn't last too long I don't want to do this all spring. I'm just worried that when I take the 2 out of the dog crate the pecking order will be the same because the bullied drake still alone.

So I seperated my two bully ducks. They are inside the main pen inside a dog kennel. My boy that was being bullied seems to be acting strange still. I dont know if he is just weak from non stop attacks or if its something more serious. He isnt moving a whole lot and he is drinking. I gave him...

Not sure acctually. I was going to get play sand but the bags at the big chain stores are wayyyyy over priced. So I bought it in bulk from a landscaping company and they delievered it to my house it cost about $125. To do 100 sq ft about 5 inches deep. Its really fine and looks just like the...

I have an all drake flock of 3. It will be almost a year since I got them as babies. Within the last two days one of my boys is all scruffy and his neck feathers are being pulled out he has a bald spot. He also has a bald spot under his wing. The other two drakes look completely fine. It seems...

Hmmm. I have three mallard drakes too. Mine live outside all year in a dog kennel. Now with hay and tarps covering 95% off it. My boys are also showing this flaking. I thought it was because of the cold weather. This is my boys first winter and my first winter having ducks. The feet on my ducks...

I have gone through many options for my duck pen. I live in the city and cant really let my ducks free range because they can fly (mallards). First they were on grass. They turned that into mud. Then went to gravel. I couldnt clean it well and it really started to stink. Now I have sand it works...

I have an all drake flock of three. I had 2 girl I had to rehome because of improper ratio problems. It has worked out alright. They seemed bothered right after I got rid of the girls but I think they were reworking the pecking order. The only thing I noticed is my one boy likes to "get it on"...

I have a drake only flock I had to rehome my females because of the noise and I don't have enough space for the right ratio. I had a flock of 2 hens and 3 drakes and they were together for about 4 months. After I rehomed my females my dominate male has become the outcast the other two seem to...

They get along with my three drake mallards my girls are the shy ones out of the group. As for shipping I don't know. I have never shipped any animal before. I am a bit apprehensive would you mind if I waited to see if anyone local replies. I just don't know what I'm doing and I worry about...

Thanks Amiga. I just hope I can find them a nice home.

I have two mallard hens I need to rehome because one I have too many drakes and the neighbors are complaint about the noise. They are 18 weeks. I am in the Cleveland Ohio area. I already posted in the free rehoming section but figured it would get more attention here. If anyone is interested...

I have two mallard hens who I need to rehome. They are about 18 week old. A non kill home only!!!! They are very sweet once they get to know you. I don't pick them up often so they walk away when you come near but will eat out of your hand for peas. I live in the city and neighbors are...

I got five ducklings about five weeks ago and in my procastination I have not called about obtaining a permit to have the ducks. I wouldn't bother to get one if it wasnt for the neighbors on the one side that might complain. I have been trying to contact the department of environmental health...
