    Starlings - Major Pests

    Does anyone else have these birds causing problems? I have had a few around, but now I have a flock of 10 or 15 birds and they are pooping in the ducks water and getting into their feed. They are so bold that even though I put the feed in the ducks house, they are just going in and making a...

    First Snow pictures - Ontario, Canada

    We just had our first snow last night. I went to let out the ducks this morning - I only have two that were born this past summer so I couldn't wait to see their reaction. I opened the door and everyone piled out except "Ollie" . The girls were all out quacking and snuffling through the...

    Removing ducklings from mom - When & How to??

    Just wondering how everyone handles this? The ducklings will be two weeks this coming Tuesday and I'm not really planning on removing them yet, but wondered how and when others do this? I noticed this morning that although mom is protective of them still, she isn't tolerating them as much...

    Ahhh!!!!...Momma Rouen moving eggs around

    My broody Rouen has been sitting on her nest for 14 days now. She has a mix of eggs under her, Pekin/Rouen cross and her own. I had checked the nest last week and counted 19 (quick check so I may have missed some hiding under the bedding). I checked it again last night and found 30 eggs...

    Broody Rouen, not covering all eggs and other ???

    I have a rouen duck who is dutifully sitting on her nest. She comes out only for a few minutes in the morning and then again in the evening before bed, to bathe, grab a bite and heads back. We are half way through right now - on day 14 today - She is currently in her duck house with the drake...

    Rouen/Pekin cross

    Hello Everyone, New to BYC but I've been checking out the threads for awhile now. I've had ducks for over a year now, they were for my daughters (5 & 7 at the time, I seem to have adopted them as my own though! ). I started out with four Pekins, two male/two female. I traded in my two...
