Hello all, I am looking for some young ducks for a friend of mine, but he needs females. Anyone out there with any? Right now he has English Callers and he had to separate the two males as the one was very aggressive once he "courted" the one female he had. He ended up getting a female...

Hey all, I hope that you all can help with a dilemma that I am in. I was out with my four "girls" yesterday and was watching them play, eat mealworms etc. when I notice that my Polish/EE andd whatever else cross/mutt that I thought by now was for sure a girl has a greenish tint to some of the...

Quote: 2x. Food & Water isn't necessary for the ducks overnight and I would recommend that he doesn't keep the duck barn too warm at night, otherwise they'll have trouble adjusting to the cold during the day. Poor ducky with his beak frozen shut!! That's just so sad...

Quote: Yes, poor Duck! Thanks for the info. Good to know that they should be shut in to keep them warm just like chickens! Very much appreciate the advice!

Quote: Thanks again GoldDogsMom! I know that this information will help him very much!
