Hi, I have two Call ducks and 2 Rouens. I have a pretty good setup with a good size pond. If ducks are on the pond (snapping turtle free) what would the call ducks be in danger of? Night time they will be locked up. I read that hawks can't grab prey on open water and the Call ducks are amazing...

Hi All, I came to ask basically the same question but I have two 1.5-week-old Call Ducklings (both small and girls) and I have two 3.5-week-old Rouens (gender unknown) and one of the Rouens always goes after the little Calls. I have them so they are together with a separator so they sleep next...

thanks for info. Def doesn't feel like affection but prob the most pathetic attempt to intimidate I have ever seen from an animal. Just have to love ducks!!

Not sure how to describe it. I have two Pekin males. Once in awhile one will come up to me and his head will vibrate like he is very angry and then will jump at me with his beak. It doesn't hurt and at one time or another both have done it. Especially if I am putting medicine on the other so I...

Ducks need a covering to hide at night. Ducks hide naturally in bushes. I know Mallards on the water can dive under when owls swoop down but I dont feel my ducks (bright white Pekins) are safe on the pond all night since they don't fly and prefer a bush to hide in so I lead them into a pen with...

My sympathys! I am dealing with same thing. I had one trapped but here it has to be someone licensed because Snapping Turtles are protected. I had a licensed person come and remove it. I learned two things: 1. Canned sardines in the trap are by far the best thing to use. They smell much...

the pond is very deep with mud. We tried getting in and sink to our hips but it is a great idea. Just too gross, they loved the pond so much, it is so sad all around.

They have two kiddie pools but the problem is security from foxes and coyotes plus neighbor dogs. They are safer at the pond. I guess i can just feed them there and if a predator comes they will run to the pond and they can forage on the shore. May be my best option. Thanks!

This is old but I now have same problem. My ducks are safe on the pond but a snapping turtle moved in. I saw the attack and got my duck from huge snapping turtle which is gone now but now my ducks are done with the pond. The other day my dog chased them and they went into the pond and then...

Hi, I am new to ducks but I happened to buy a 6 foot x 1 foot foldable pool from Amazon and my ducks were okay living in it until they were 6 weeks old. I have Pekins and they are large. I just threw shavings in and cleaned it twice a day and they could stay in the house. I am saving it until my...

I am just so sorry about your duck. :(

Does anyone elses ducks do this. They have two waterers but they like this one the best.

I have Pekins and two will just lay by a water container and sip water every few minutes. But even when not drinking the water container (10inches x 10 inches x about 6 inches tall) this has become their snuggle buddy for two of them. I think they run warm and lay by it cuz it is cool. They can...

yes, and they like those too but then they like anything served to them.😂 I would like them to forage for bugs. I am phobic about bugs and was hoping they would be more about eating bugs. I don't want to poison anything with bug spray. So was asking to see if maybe it is because they are just...

They are kinda loungie. Mine get excited over peas so far but nothing else.

I hope mine get that way. Today on the pond they seemed to be a little more agressive in the muddy area. Maybe they will get it soon.

soooo jealous!!! mine don't seem interested in flies. One did eat a wolf spider and a few bugs but the bug has to basically be on a white background and move around for 5 minutes in front of all 4 of them before they notice it. They are really clueless!!

Hi All!! I have 4 wonderful Pekin boys that are just about 8 weeks. They have food in their pen and they forage all day on the pond. The problem is they don't seem to catch anything in the pond. I can't watch them all day but they will swim next to lots of tadpoles and bugs will walk right into...
