My ducks stay in a safe fully enclosed converted horse stall. However I am now having trouble with rather large Rat Snakes getting in. They are finding ways through holes that I need to find. Do I need to worry about my adult ducks safety?
Three out of four of my chicks are cockerals. They are nine weeks old and have been raised together. If I remove all hens, what are the chances of a rooster pad without injuries from fighting?
I have a ten month old hen that walked off and on with a skip for 3 weeks that we contributed to jumping off of a high purch in her first coop. There had never been any swelling or bruising.
In the past week she began extending her one leg high in front of her and walking with a "high step" on...
I have two hens that were in the same coop both go broody at same time and I allowed them to hatch eggs. I separated them as a safety precaution. The chicks are now four weeks old. The hens fought at first attempt to reintroduce them with each other. Is there a certain age or any...

Thanks so much :)
I am a learning duck owner, I see a lot of bumble foot problems for ducks and I was wondering if there is any preventative care that I can provide? Does anyone do anything with "antibacterial anything" to prevent it from happening?

Out of 6 ducklings that are now three months old, I have one Mallard hen and one Swedish hen. Two Khaki Campbell drakes and Two Pekin drakes.
In multiple threads it sounds like I am going to have problems. I would like to keep them all. Should I go ahead and plan to separate the hens to...
I am hopeful for guidance with a 5 week old Pekin with possible Wry Disease. I am a new duck owner and am raising 6 ducks including 2 Pekins, 2 Khaki Campbells, 1 Rouen and 1 Sweedish. Everyone is healthy with the exception of one of the Pekins who grew substantially larger than the other...
