We have been breeding each year although last year was a disaster due to a Vit E deficiency. I have 22 females including injured Jabba (The Hutt) who is currently shouting at her friends outside from the hospital cage bcos they are chuntering in their houses as they want to be let out. I used...

Thank you for your kind words. All three attacks were outside of their houses which are in their own fenced area and were in broad daylight which I was surprised about (but am not sure why - I think I assumed all ground attacks would happen at night). I did as you suggested with the houses and...

I just wanted to say thank you to this part of the BYC Forum. I've had two ducks die after being bitten in the throat by something - it took the third attack to work it all out. This time, the mini predator took on one of my amazons and was not successful. She came staggering over the garden...

I'm an interloper from the Duck forum - we give all scraps out to the ducks, geese or boar. No matter what it is or the state of it, somethings eating it. Our ducks in particular are keen compost raiders of their own volition too. Its difficult to imagine a cheeky piece of pizza is substantially...

I am putting in a big shout for KC's and Buff Orpingtons. Appreciate that makes for a sea of brown but all my pures and x's between the two have large and distinctive personalities !

@WannaBeHillBilly I am so sorry for the loss of Curiosity and take comfort from the recovery of Nona. :hugs

Thank you for this - I have this problem right now after we had a metre of snowfall this week. Its actually my duck run and they look bedraggled even though they usually love mud - I am also worried about mold issues. I had decided last night to lay pallets out as an interim solution - we still...

Aw how fabulous!

And she's a beauty! What's her name ?

I can get like that when people have underfloor heating ramped up !

What didn't you like ? We only get to about minus 10c so I am probably being a bit amateur about it ;)

Just Google'd it - am going to order me some !

Heated socks ???!! Thats a thing ?! :eek:

Mine are the same - i've said it before and i'll say it again, if I am not holding the treat bowl, I might as well be holding a flamethrower :confused:

Any chance the Asian market would come and get them ? Should we ever be overwhelmed by ducks eggs, we feed them to our dogs raw. They go loony for them - our old vet used to say eggs are one of the best foods for dogs, poorly or well ! We found they were particularly positive on dogs with skin...

Welcome back @Mimi13 :hugs

I appreciate the advice - with what we've got to work with, its not feasible.

I dream of having a path of any kind ! I did buy wood to build a raised pathway but it got repurposed....

I don't think its unheard of for duck owners to get mugged by their own ducks or sellers. Either way, am pleased for you !

I hear you ! I had to drag an upright waterer through what seemed like a swamp this morning :rant
