I believe it may matter what breed, i say "may" because they might all differ and it may depend on individual drakes!
I found the best ramp is actually old fridge shelves rather than oven shelves!
I place shadcloth mesh over and sew it on.
Thanks windy, ill put a pic on when ive finished!
A good ramp is 2 old oven shelves joined in the middle with wire so that it looks like a book would if you opened it and stood it on its ends, does that make sense?
anyhow you put this in a blow up pool. The oven rack may need to be covered in...
Thankyou, I spoke to the lady who sold me the breeding pair and she told me that their dad just stayed away from them and hung around in the background, like a lot of human dads do at nappytime!!!!
I will build the run today just in case.
Im so excited!!ive got their little pond ready with ramps...
Dont worry, i dont mind the hijack, its just that you will probably get more replies on a new thread about the subjects!!
My ducks were purchased at same young age and it took 6 months for them to mate!
it is nearly spring here and I have eggs everywhere, duck left her first nest and rebuilt it...
Im a bit anxious.
I have eggs due in 2 weeks.
A lovely lady told me that I should be careful with my drake when the ducklings hatch.
The ducks are bantam mallards, beautiful whites with golden beaks and feet.
Has anyone had a drake who attacked/killed the male ducklings?
is this a common thing...
