    Raising Wood Ducks

    Agree on Mazuri. Also live crickets get them stimulated to eat very well. They love chasing them around the brooder and gobbling them up!

    Mandarin Duck thread ( for posting pictures and discussing)

    39.99 may seem high for Mazuri but there is virtually no waste. I used gamebird chow briefly and over half was wasted and it molded real fast! Id rather pay more for mazuri and my birds do so much better on it!

    Predator got my mallard and domestic ducks

    Bigger question how did it get in the pen to kill the ducks? I lost so many ducks over the years and never saw the killer. Each time I thought the aviary was secure another kill would happen. Sometimes the ducks eaten sometimes just head ripped off. Could be raccoon or fox or bobcat or...

    Do ducks know which eggs aren't fertile?

    My mallard hen had a nest of 16 eggs! We are on week two of her incubation. In week one she pushed 6 eggs out of her nest! One or two a day! I placed them in an incubator and now after one week im seeing no veins in the eggs from candling. Do they know which are fertile and which arent...

    MALLARD THREAD...not rouens, Mallards!

    He pretty much leaves when she does. He stays in the pool a little longer but goes back in the nest box to join her. I think he gets lonely easily. I hope he is good with the babies when they hatch.

    MALLARD THREAD...not rouens, Mallards!

    My mallard drake is so devoted to his hen. He lays right next to her in the box while she incubates!

    What killed my chickens and ducks this way? WARNING graphic pic included.

    Weasel or mink and the hole is your clue! Thats the point of entry and you must make sure a hole cannot be dug again! Mink and weasels kill for fun as much as for food.

    Stone tile around coop - safe?

    Id do what I could to cover that gap! A raccoon will use the gap to try and pry it open somehow and wont give up! Its a weak point in your coop and thats what raccoons look for and capitalize on. Love the stone tile idea! Should do the trick to stop diggers!

    Duck Breed Focus - Mallard

    Well my mallard hen gave up on her nest on the last day! All eggs duds (some rotten which she broke in nest and started to discard) but one was a day away from hatching but died in the cold nest! Hopefully they will start again. They are both not a year old yet! My guess they were just...

    Bobcats- Please share your bobcat stories and mishaps and run-ins with bobcats

    I used to live near Los Gatos and saw bobcats all the time. Once with a new born fawn in its jaws! Glad you got him! But those foothills are covered with them so be wary and vigilant with your next flock!
