I got all six of my girls at the same time from My Pet Chicken, they were all 2 days old when I got them. They all got along fine until recently....they are now 23 weeks. I knew they would start forming a pecking order eventually. Poor Victoria, the Silver-laced Wyandotte is getting picked on...

I found out I can get Anconas from someone in the Portland, OR area. Who has any? How friendly or skittish are they? Are they good egg layers? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I haven't done much research on these since I thought I had my heart set on Swedes, but after seeing pics of...

I have a co-worker who is moving to Auburn, Alabama with her husband later this month. They would love to have someone to buy duck eggs from for eating. They would eventually like to have their own ducks but for now would like a supplier.

I know most of you have way more ducks than I will. We have our indoor cats 'chipped just in case they get out, and was wondering if it were feasible to do it with ducks. I will be getting Swedish ducks (3-5) so I doubt they would fly out of the yard, but you never know when a two-legged...

Due to unforseen circumstances, they are not moving. I have a friend & her husband who are moving from Portland, Oregon to Champaign, Illinois area by the end of this year. She was going to be a duck egg customer once I had some to sell (I'm getting ducklings this spring). I'm sure she would...

I am making a list of items I need to buy before I get my duckling this spring. I have a question about niacin; if I give the ducklings brewer's yeast I don't need to put niacin in their water correct? How much brewer's yeast do I need to put on their food? I will be getting 4 or 5 ducklings...

Hi duck/chicken/other poultry people in the Portland, Oregon area, Some of you may already know about it, but I found a in-city vet clinic that handles barnyard poultry.....chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese. They said they don't have too many duck patients, mostly chickens. It it the Pet...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this (I posted in the duck forum as well): Hi duck/chicken/other poultry people in the Portland, Oregon area, Some of you may already know about it, but I found a in-city vet clinic that handles barnyard poultry.....chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese...

This pic is what you see when entering the pen. We will finish the framing for the door (with 3 latches) on that end once we get the rest of the wire up. We put down a skirt of hardware cloth (on 3 sides so far), then covered it with dirt. We will put down landscape fabric over that, cover it...

We are going to use a 40 gallon stock tank as a 'swimmin hole' for the ducks (3 or 4 Swedish). I found this product on the same site that sells the stock tanks. In the description it says it's "completely safe for horses, cattle, and other livestock, as well as humans, pets, birds, and fish"...

We are going to use gravel topped with several inches of sand in the duck pen. Will the ducks still need grit? Is sand coarse enough? They will have some free-range time in the backyard so will be able to doodle in the dirt as well. Thank you

I am planning on getting 5 or 6 ducks (more than likely Swedish) this spring. I have read that it’s fine to have all females but they would be happier with a drake when the mating urge comes around. I’ve read that ducks will mount other ducks if there is no drake. I know you only need a drake...

I've heard chickens sing their 'egg songs' and started wondering if ducks do the same?

If you do, do you give fresh or dried? Thanks

I'm curious if ducks eat bees, wasps, yellow jackets, etc. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. We have a number of plants in the backyard that attract bees and just wondering if I will need to move or give them away (plants not ducks....lol). We don't have ducks yet but are trying to get...

How are ducks egg for scrambled eggs and omelets? My hubby had been told by a couple of people that they are rubbery; I have read that duck eggs are more delicate than chicken eggs and need to be cooked at a lower temp and for less time. I know they are great for baking. We don't have ducks...

After reading about some of your ducks being piggies about food I'm wondering if they would eat more than I could afford. We are more than likely going to get Swedish ducks. Our ducks would be penned at night and whenever we are gone to work or the rare times we might be gone for part of the...

I have info on types of worms they can get, what to use (ivermectin paste), but nothing stating if they should have it on a regular basis. I don't have ducks yet, but will be getting Swedish ducks this spring. Thank you.
