Looking to start growing fodder for my ducks and wonder where to start and what type is best for ducks. Reason for wanting to grow fodder- long story short, had free ranging ducks on 4 acres, but now have a fischer cat and fox problem, have a pen, but for using a lot of water last year for the...

CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS AREA Peacock- Spalding, about 2 years old, have to find a home due to that he needs company/buddies, preferably turkeys or other peafowl, when he doesn't have buddies to hang around, he annoys everyone on my street. I did have a 'sturdy' pen for him, but got destroyed in...

I have 2 black swede males that need a home fast! I have an poor ratio of females to males, and it is starting to show with missing feathers on the back of the necks on some of my females. I ask $10 of each, and I can drive half way to a meet up place if you like, but only in NEW ENGLAND STATES...

I have a spalding male, at least 50% green, and he will be a year in May 2015. He is already starting to be vocal and tonight he has been perched up in a tree making calls similar to mating calls. He does occasionally squawk at me in the morning to feed him, but lately if he chooses to stay out...

So I have a spalding about a year now, at least 50% green. He did have a mate, a purple peahen that got taken by a fox last fall. Since then he hangs out with my ducks, which want nothing to do with him and he just seems lost, now he is starting to size up people and even cars and trying to pick...

Hey guys I really need your help, within the last week I noticed blood in their shed and started researching what to do when ducks poop blood, because that is what I assumed. Now today I noticed more blood. And I found the source, it was coming from my peacock nostrils. It has been very very...

I've been told that green peacocks and spaldings aren't that noisy and if they are they aren't as loud as Indian blues, been trying to find audio for at least one, if you have any please share! For curiousity sake!

Hi, I have a spalding that will be 2 by the summer of 2016. I'm already planning how to keep his voice down for when the time comes. My main plan is to have a tall fenced area for him away from the neighborhood to muffle/quiet his voice. I also heard of voice removal surgery. Which I do...

I have 7 mallards- 5 females and 2 males, and 2 male black swedish ducks. The reason why I want to get rid of them is mostly that want to focus on conservation breeding of blue Swedish ducks. I can drive anywhere in Massachusetts and some parts of New England. My Mallards do fly and everyone...

Around June this year I got 2 peafowl that were around a month and a half. I got an Indian Blue male and a Purple female. They are both inseparable, and when I got them, my ducks were already 2 months old (15 ducks). They all do fine together, the ducks will occasionally pick on the peacocks...

Hey, All of my ducks are 5 months old and my girls started to lay some eggs. But the real issue is that my males do this weird thing where they raise their bodies, fluff up a bit, and then make this goose-like/hiccup-like noise, after that they are fine. It is only my males that do this, so I...

I raised my ducks in pine shavings, until they were over a month old. they now live in an 6x8 shed at night. It has a rubber floor and I spray it out with a hose every day. But winter is coming and I won't be able to use water everyday to clean the coop. I put shavings in for a few days so that...

Hi, I am curious on how and ways to conserve certain breeds of ducks. I am currently looking to help conserve swedish ducks and possibly magpies in the near future. I don't want to be excessive and own couple hundreds of ducks, but enough where I can help contribute to growing a breed. It's...

So, I got a bunch of babies to raise in April, half are mallards and the other half are swedish and pekin. There are are 15 of them, I was hoping that the mallards would take off in the fall, so that it would cut my care for the ducks in the winter in half. BUT since I make sure my ducks had...

I have 2 zebra finches one male and one female. the male makes his mating calls but i don't think she is responding, he is obviously into her and i just want to help him get the girl haha. i put a nest and a bird house in there to help her become more stimulated, but i would like to know more...

I am interested in showing my ducks in the fall for the first time, for the ducks as well as me. On the list of requirements it says that all poultry need a state band. Now I know how to get bands for my ducks, but do I need to register then to the state? and if I do where would I need to go to...
