hey y’all! I’m back with some duck drama! Y’all know recently I added a new female for my drakes & was having a problem with the drakes fighting over who’s girl was who basically... I got that problem solved & now here we are with this! The past two nights I have just recently put Squirt(the...

Hey Y’all, I’m in need of some help! I haven’t been in the loop in quite sometime & since my last post I have added another duck to the lovebird crew. SASSYFRAS was just a baby & he turned a year old in April. Last week I added a 5-6 month old Pekin to the group- I thought it was time for...

Hey Y'all!! Long time NO see! Well, Long time NO thread! I have been super busy with life. I have a 15 month old that runs me crazy. The 3 ducks. The dog. & the hubby... which us ladies know can often be like having another child. :-P Also my father-in-law passed away this past week & we have...

Hey y'all! First let me just say...WHOA! I know I haven't been on in awhile, but wowwww what a change! Lol. Anyway... I need some help! How do I get rid of flies??? They are taking over this summer! I can't take it! I feel badly about putting the ducks up there are so many! Any advice?? I need...

For those of you who know my Pekin pair know that Felix has always been a gentleman to Flossy... however, here lately I feel like he may be over doing it. They only mate in water, & up until recently only would mate once in the mornings when I let them out & put fresh water in their outside...

What's going on here??

I have 2 random questions today. I'm sure I'll have more! & everyone has a couple here & there! 1. Do you have to use clear iodine for ducks? If so...why? Can you not use baiodin? Like from the Operating Room? And... 2. At what time do ducks lay their eggs? Or does it all very? I've never...

@Miss Lydia @Amiga Sassafras is acting lethargic! Out of nowhere. She has been outside this morning w/the pekins, she's went swimming, she's eaten, I cleaned out her box, she came back in & took a nap , & she hadn't been awake long when I heard the mirror fall that's stuck to the side of her...

Where do I get them??!!

@Miss Lydia the last 2 days Flossy has had soft shell eggs again. They look like pullet eggs but are the size of a normal egg. She is eating them as well. I'm giving her shells, & this evening I'm going to mix some scrambled egg & egg shells in her food. Also that grower (that I accidentally...

While putting the crew up a few minutes ago I noticed my girls wing looked like it was bleeding...underneath the top layer of feathers. Nothing was actually bleeding, it was just feathers- the other side was the same. Am I correct in assuming these are blood feathers? I have never noticed them...

As some of you already know I have been debating for some time whether or not I wanted to add on to my crew. (Pekin Pair) I recently went into TSC & there was a little 3rd wheel- so needless to say, she came home with me! She was yellow so I was thinking she may be a Pekin as well, but it looks...

I'm very interested in growing my duck family by 2 & I'm in need of advice! I think I would love to get a pair of Cayuga's! So, if you have them...How are they?? Temperament wise, how would they get along with my Pekin pair? Would they do OK in our forever changing southeastern NC climate?? Give...

We have a vet appointment tomorrow, I would love for Flossy to wear her harness & leash instead of having to be put in a carrier! Butttttt.... We don't have a diaper attachment yet! Could I use one of my daughters leftover newborn diapers somehow? Or is there a quick way to make 1??

I just really need some reassuring words I guess... yesterday evening right before putting my lovebirds up for the night, I got that dreaded phone call... it was the neighbor, her dog had gotten out & got 1 of my babies. I ran out there, scooped her up... there was blood everywhere... I rinsed...

Ok, so I'm thinking about trying to hatch some eggs this spring! & I am completely CLUELESS!! What exactly do I need & where do I even begin?? When, where, & how?! Lol!

How many molts do Pekins have? And when??

Long story short- my baby got an extremely bad case of bumble, I had to lance it, because it was just SO swollen...now of course I'm having to keep the foot cleaned & wrapped. My question is.... how long should I keep her foot wrapped?? She is completely annoyed w/ the fact she has a bright pink...

So are undeveloped eggs a common thing? Tonight after putting my pair up for the evening I was cleaning the yard of feathers & the carport of poop, when I saw this little tiny egg right beside some poop. My girl has never done this to my knowledge. Is this a thing? Or should I be worried? She...
