This is my first post in some time. We don't really want to let any of our ducks go, but our flock has gotten too big for our little duck house. I'm not really sure what removing the males will do to the hens. I'm a bit worried that they will miss them for a time but we don't have the room to...

Hmmm, this is a problem. Pencil washes off and her housemates give her their eggs. I don't have a place to isolate her. I could try to keep track of the pencil markings and when they get faint, re-apply a mark. I was just not sure the led in the pencil was safe. loop de loop.

I have a broody duck and we want to limit her nest. The other hens wll give her their eggs. Can I mark the eggs with sharpie permantent ink? That way I can remove the newer eggs from under her when she gets up. I tried pencil before but it gets washed off. thanks, Karen

Oh my, I would scoop them all up in a handful and kiss each belly. They are adorable Chel! Nice pictures. Karen

Yeay!, cute ducks. In the movie "Babe" Ferdinand the duck is a runner. I think that was his name. Cute Pics too!

Yes, the drake has a curled feather on his back like my avatar, Mucky. The females have a raspy quack and when they all sound off together, I like to say it sounds like a bunch of grandmas playing poker and one of them said something to make them all laugh. The drake has a soft voice like the...

Hi Chel, My place is in Inverness. If you keep going past Jack Long's on Sir Francis Drake Blvd, you pass throught the town of Inverness after several miles. It's a town past Inverness Park where The Inverness store, post office and Vladimir's Restaurant is. We put up an Island so that folks...

Hey there, Have you heard of Jack Long out on Point Reyes. We got our calls from him. We also were able to trade when we had too many males. I don't know how currrent his web site is but if you are looking for something now and don't care if you get babies or older, sexed birds, he might have...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVY3JV3hHis Hearing about everybody's baby ducks makes me wish I could see them. Ducklings are just the cutest little things! They grow so fast too. My favorite is the first two weeks. I never want to miss a day. sigh... Glad all is going well Sakura. Ooo...

I agree about the water. If they are with mom, they will get oil from her feathers. That is why you want to reduce the amount of soaking these ones do. It will also reduce the mess. Try taking a plastic tub like the one used for margarine and cut a hole big enough for just their heads to...

I'm on vacation for a while so depending on my activities, I should be available. Just send an email to make arrangements, etc.

I have 5 call ducks and the females are the noisy ones. The drakes just make a putttering muck sound. I live in an area that does not mind their noise. My neighbors love them and will chat with us over the fence. I don't have chickens so I can't compare the work involved. Call ducks were...

I agree! Ducks are great! Nifty-Chicken-Chick can come see our duck set up too since we are local to each other to some degree.

Hi Sakura, I don't know about the drooling. If they are about a week old now, is the one you think is sick the same size as the others? They should all be growing about the same. I agree that a plastic box is going to save you some trouble. I used a thick cloth diaper on the bottom of mine...

Hi All, Renae congrats on the new ducklings. I bet they've doubled in size by now. We have call ducks which are a bantam breed and we have a lot of success with your basic livestock aluminum waterig tub. We made a ramp to allow them to walk up the side to get in. They sometimes get in all...
