My six ducks are now around 10 months old, and I knew they'd start laying soon. Today I was out walking and noticed a nest they had made by our shed, which had four eggs in it. I found another nest close by and it had one egg in it. They have been laying eggs all around the yard lately, but this...

Back in August of 2011, my 6 ducks were around 2 months old. Then, they were living in a duck pen with a house and a small pool. Everyday I would refill the pool with new water. I used to feed them in the morning before school and clean out the pool, then when I got home, I would let them free...

Thank you! I did show my two white pekins last year at the state fair! Has anyone else shown ducks at a poultry show before?

I'm wanting to order some geese from Metzer Farms this spring. I only want two though, because I have 6 full grown duck already and I'm hatching mallards this spring as well, so the two geese won't be alone when they get older. Anyway, I want a breed that is not as loud and that would be nice...

That's what I was thinking! Thanks!

One of our neighbors raises mallard ducks. In a few days, he's going to give me some hatching eggs to hatch out and I've hatched chickens before, but not ducks. Anyway, I'm wondering when the male mallards feathers will change to the gray body, green head, etc. We had mallards in the spring and...

Quote: Hmmm...there might be snapping turtles in ours too. Thanks!

Quote: Haha thanks! Yeah, they don't wander too far from the pen either! I'll try what you suggested, and who knows, they may never like the pond again! :p

I have 6 ducks, and they HATE the pond! We live in the country and have 5 acres of land with a nice size pond on it too. When they were younger I would take them out of the pen and bring them to the pond and they loved it! But as they got older they stopped going down there, now they don't at...

Thanks for the responses! They haven't been as bad this week than they have the past few weeks, so maybe it's starting to slow down. The hens (or one at least) has started laying so would that have anything to do with it?

Ok, so my 6 ducks have been together since the day they hatched...there are 3 females and 3 males. Anyway, lately I've noticed that the two pekin males will chase the black Swedish male around! One time I came home and the pekin had the black swedish's neck in his mouth (or bill)! Why is this...

Okay, so I have ducks and they started laying two days ago. They are around six months old. My only females are two welsh harlequins and one black swedish. The first day there was one egg just in the yard. The second day there were TWO eggs in the yard! I assume its the welsh harlequins laying...

I haven't ordered Columbian Wyandottes from Cackle, but I have orderd barred rocks, black jersey giants, ducks, and turkeys from them. I personally was NOT impressed with there birds. They recall to have purebred poultry, and they do not sell purebred poultry, well not to me anyway. They have...

Hey! I have six ducks (2 welsh harlequins, 2 pekins, and 2 black swedish) and they are about six months old now. I live in northern Missouri, so our winters can be pretty harsh. I'm thinking of ideas for houses for them to stay in, during the winter and for night time. They free ranger all the...

Quote: Oh I know! They wanted me to break some ties and I couldn't do it! Edward is a pretty duck! I can't wait until his male feathers come in! You'll have to post pics of him!!

~Wind~ : Quote: Hey how old were your Pekins when this pic was taken? I have some Pekins too that are 5 weeks old, so I was wondering when they would have feathers like yours... Mine are 5 weeks exactly in that pic. Oh ok. Mine are 4 weeks in the pic that I posted above...mine don't have...
