    Buying ducks soon (first time), have some questions

    @JadeComputerGal Thanks for the information on the pinioning and clipping. I will certainly stick with clipping over pinioning for sure. I will talk to my local vet down the road and see about how its done safely, or better yet, have the professional do it for me so I don't harm my "kids" on...

    Buying ducks soon (first time), have some questions

    If you can provide me with a link to some instructions on how to clip their wings safely, I would prefer that method. The ducks would rarely be waiting for someone to come home, and when they do end up waiting, it would be no more than 2 hours at the most in their pen without diapers on. I...

    Buying ducks soon (first time), have some questions

    Well, I certainly don't have the best camera in the world, but I'll see what I can do! Metzer Farms offers to permanently clip their wings before shipping (according to their FAQ), though I didn't see any such option on the order screen. I'll contact them when I order to make sure though, or...

This will be a tough decision, though I do have some time to think about it I suppose. Any additional input / opinions are welcome! Thanks!

    Buying ducks soon (first time), have some questions

    Thanks to both of you for the information! I think I may not get the male Pekin if he could cause injury or is aggressive. What do you think about a male Blue Swedish instead? It seems to be a medium sized duck, would he possible cause any problems particularly to the female Mallard?

    Buying ducks soon (first time), have some questions

    Hello! I plan on getting 3 ducks from Metzer Farms soon. I plan on getting a female Cayuga, a female Mallard, and a male Pekin but first I have some questions. I've never had ducks before, so I'm a newbie here and have some newbie questions. I have been doing research for several months now...
