That was my exact fear! But anyway I've had some get spooked too i think mallards are one of the more easily spooked breeds.

khaki Campbell or buff cross and closer picture would be nice :)

Just saying ducks get spooked by a lot of little things. So even if they want to stay they get spooked and fly away anyways a lot of the time. And for their sake of survival clipping them is just safer. That's my opinion

Thank you exactly what I meant

Here's my mallard he is clipped and is best friends with a pekin Edited by Staff

A mallard raised domestically WILL NOT survive out in the wild on its own 99% of the Time. If you believe in "freedom" so much just let all your ducks go then buddy. Also not all ducks can fly I hope you realize. Edited by Staff

I didn't get my mallards at metzer but I always clip them anyway. Just be careful for the blood feathers

Love creating beef on a chicken website.

No the hen does not "cause" offspring to be one gender or another what happened within the duck or chicken is not decided by the animal :) hahaha I guess you're saying "basic biology" trumps med school. An animal cannot decide its offsprings gender. Yet; anyway.

By the way I did not learn about ducks in my "basic" biology class.

@buff goose guy

Oh my hahahahah you are complicating this..... An animal human or duck can not consciously decide if it wants its offspring to be male or female. What you are describing is quite different and involves features of the animal that can be used to tell if the animal is male or female. By the way...

maybe I'm not understanding the question but neither gender determines the offspring.....it's just like every other animal and the parents don't decide the sex of their children that's just the way it goes.

That sucks :( I haven't had any more problems now that my dog gets along with the ducks though! So maybe if you have a dog you can try that.

Ya this raccoon won't get away with this my yard if full of traps and my duck is at a friends house hanging out with his flock. Sadly my ducks dead body had to be used as bait :(((

This morning I went out to check on my two ducks the Pekin and the Mallard. the first thing I noticed was that the Pekin was all alone so I looked and the Pekin was covered in scratches then I found one single spot of feathers and blood, then I looked again and under the propane tank a couple...
