    Duck adoption!?

    Okay, I've got a weird one for you guys: As you know we have wild ducks in our neighborhood pond, finally things settled but we only had 2 hens drop babies, one pekin who lost her only baby (yes she only had one duckling) and then a mallard hen who watched out 5 and lost one. Now Mama mallard...

    Duck issues and need some help!

    I am happy to report that the situation has settled down, it seems that we had two mallard hens who had been hiding out in the tall trees where we couldn't find them. The girls are a little feather bare on the back of their heads but no full on totally plucked and scabbed. We think the two...

    Getting them that close is hard xD I'll try to see if I can coax them closer for pictures for better identification.

    Though I do remember the first mallards were released fatm raised (I was a very small child when they brought them but my parents told me that they had rings on their ankles which meant they were farm raised) these are the offspring of those mallards and then of course the added pekin and the...

    Well, I know for a fact we have no rehabbers in my area, the closest that I know of is an hour away and she focuses soully on mammals only. There is one area we have that we could release the mallards (wildlife sanctuary swamp thing) but it would be near impossible to catch these ducks without...

    Hi, this is my first post and thread, so please, don't kill me. In my neighborhood we have a large pond, and in this pond we've always had ducks, along with 3 ahengas, a resident heron, a few resident red-wing blackbirds, and the occasional Canadian geese visitors (And that's just the birds...
