https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1034217/african-yellow-billed-duckling#post_15939140 The duckling has been accepted by the gosling flock

Very much a case of me and my shadow :-)

D on't know why the photo's are appearing like this, I rotated them before posting..... The gosling seemed a little lost without his siblings, so I added two more for company. The little yellow bill duck is native to SA. I downloaded these photo's of adults from the net...

I am so grateful to have found this site! The knowledge and care that gets shared here is so special. Yesterday I received an orphaned African Yellow Billed duckling. He's about 3 weeks old and his sibling was run over by a car and didn't survive. I had him with the Egyptian Geese goslings but...

Strapping the wing didn't help much because once the duck got outside she was diving through the tortoises water bowls and flapping and fluffing much better. Don't know if that wing will ever set now! As soon as the duck saw Goose she RAN to her chattering all the way. The goose was very snooty...

No no that was a previous seasons hatchlings. I fed them on oats gruel in the evening and they were free range for the rest of the time. They eat a lot of grass, especially chickweed and snails! It was quite unsettling to see them crush the shells and gobble them down with considerable relish...

My previous flock of 18...

Love your new avatar! And then there were......15! These were collected from the airport. Perfect nesting area were it not for the planes They've already bonded and no bossiness from the bigger ones :-) They may still be trying to figure out where the rest of the family suddenly appeared from

I see what you mean about the red at the top of her bill. It looks a little swollen, so that must be the carnucles forming. If they start forming 4 months on then she can't even be a year old yet. I got a bit of a start yesterday because when I got to her crate I could hear her breathing...

It was very funny to see and I had a good giggle too My eyes aren't that great so you may see something I don't I can only see the little red patch at the end of Ducks bill, which looks like lipstick to me. I'll find out about the Muscovey's breeding habits, but you're most likely right...

I thought Duck-Duck may be more mallard than muscovey and that's why she doesn't have the caruncles. At what age do the caruncles start developing, she must be pretty young then? Goose and Duck-Duck only hear each other at this stage, but I'll put Duck-Ducks crate in the yard and let them visit...

That's such good news. This is what startled the duck, its a young Grey Heron and they eat small mammals and baby water fowl Goose and her pool toys, Orphaned Egyptian geese goslings that I'm fostering. It's breeding seas on here now and they take over peoples swimming pools. When...

Hi All, A few months back I was considering rehoming my embden girl because I felt bad that she was on her own. The response generally was that it is better for a goose to have company, but because my girl has plenty of space and gets attention, she should be fine. I nearly rehomed her as a...
