Ah! She does look a bit different for sure. Should I just keep the eggs there in the nest then? I don't want her to over do it! Since she doesn't have a mate, she might keep going? hmmm
Yeah apparently she is!! For the meantime, we’re keeping her as a “pet” but will be getting another female friend soon once I move to my new house! Can probably only have 2max for the moment anyway! I was just wondering if a lot of eggs above the normal “target” range was a good thing or not...
Yes, we do intend to get her a friend once I move to my new house in a couple of weeks! Not sure if they will permit it, but we are looking into it for sure.
BB is the darker one, slight bigger with a completely dark black beak. And the other one's on the couples image are a little bit lighter in complexion, and are a bit shorter than her.
These are from the internet, but these are pretty accurate to what I observed. She was taller than the other...
These does seem plausible. Although it was a duckling when we found her, this mallard has grown to be darker brown and sightly bigger compared to the rest of the mallards in the area which are more of a grayish color, and are a little bit smaller. So the mallard has grown to be a little bit...
She is currently in our care and is fine for now but I am aware of the laws for sure. An I should have been clear that she laid these eggs once a day since the last egg. Not all at once. And This Mallard was not taken, but she waddled up to us actually from the middle of a bush. The mother did...
Hey everyone!! I have a rescued WILD mallard with angel wing who is almost 8 months old. No mate, but plenty of attention. She has been laying eggs. She did a first set of 14.Took those. Then a few days later, she has a total of 19 as of today?! This doesn't seem normal? She's acting fine...

Oh wow! Just read about some laws that prevent people from owning any kind chickens or ducks in the Baldwin County area. Guess as long as you abide by certain measures (and relatively noiseless?) I assume people do it regardless? Just don't want to get fined. :(
Hi! I plan on moving to that general soon. I am confused about the laws there. I have a pet duck and plan on getting another once we move but I do't know if they'll allow it. How are things where you currently live?
This may be a long shot of a reply, but how did things work out for your chickens? I have a pet duck, (and plan on getting another) and moving to that area soon!
