    To wing clip or not to wing clip

    So my brother recently got 4 mallards that have been given to me to care for. They’ve been doing quite a lot of “flying” around and he’s worried that they’ll fly away in a few weeks if we don’t clip their wings. So I just have a couple of questions about clipping. 1. Is it ethical? I feel bad...

    Mallard Hen Missing

    I have a drake and hen mallard that have been living in a predator proof large outdoor pen for 3 years. Today my hen escaped when I was taking her latest egg. I searched for 12 hours on my property which is on a salt marsh. We almost caught her a few times but now it is night and she has never...

    4 week old mallard ducklings ~ Fertilized eggs.

    I have four mallard ducklings and want more, I'm wanting them to hatch fertilized eggs but don't know if there siblings. If they are brother and sister will the eggs not get fertilized? Or is there any way to tell if they are siblings.

    Jellybean

    Hello, I have been leaning on BYC for over a year now since "jellybean" came into our lives. His mother and other ducklings were hit in the highway, in front of my husband June 4th 2017. I received a surprise visit at work from my husband with this tiny little animal in his hand. Hardly...

    Lonely Suzie

    My grandson - and therefore myself by default - are raising an orphaned mallard hen. She is 4 months old and seems lonely. Because of dangers from predators and well-meaning or ignorant neighborhood children we've given her a 12 x 24 foot enclosure with two small ponds, but she's worried a path...

    Mallard Behavior Domestic vs. Wild

    Hi Everyone! (Sorry, this turned out a bit long! Thanks for reading!) A couple of months ago we rescued a one day old Mallard duckling who we confirmed was abandoned. We nursed (heat lamp, grass shavings, duckling feed, then premium duck feed, kiddie pool, enclosed yard to rummage in, etc...

    Duck Breeding Question

    Can a Cayuga Drake breed with a Mallard hen? Does that even matter the variety? Thanks for your time! Sorry if this is a silly question!

    My Male Mallard Mated With My Other Male?

    I have 3 mallards (2 drakes and hen) and since the summer both boys mate with the hen in the pool. The strangest thing happened today and this is the first time that we’ve seen it happen. One of our male mallards got on top of the other male in the pool and did exactly what he usually does to...
