    Limping duck

    Hi all, two days ago I bought an 8 week old female duck so my other female 9 week old duck would have a friend. My first duck is very tame and of course the new one isn’t. It only took a day for them to become best friends and my first duck is ecstatic and so close up they are like magnets...

    When do I feed my ducks?

    I have two female 8 and half week old ducks. I feed them probably about 5 times a day but they only eat what they want. I lock them up in their pen at about 6:00 pm and I don’t like to feed them in their pen since it gets really messy. If they don’t have food or water from 6:00pm to about 9:00am...

    New duck friend extremely scared of me and other duck

    Thank you so much I will take that into consideration. She is already getting used to lewis. Also the owners said she is in between 6 and 8 weeks old. Is that old enough to sleep outside in a pen? The pen is completely wooden and predator proof and not much wind would pass through it? Cheers

    Duck friend or not?

    Thank you! I will be getting a friend as it will also make my life a bit easier. Yes I do not think she would act aggressive to a new duckling as she is quite timid with everything and everyone except me, if any other human goes to touch her she walks away but with me she snuggles in and wants...

    Normal or angel wing

    My month old duckling has blood feathers that drop down and don’t tuck under the wing. They don’t stick out like angel wing but they are quite long and look heavy, can I please get some help on whether it’s normal and just droopy or is it the start of angel wing? I noticed this about a week ago.

I’m pretty sure my duckling is a girl considering the wildly loud quack and honking, and if I’m going to get her a friend which I definetely am, I want another female so I don’t have a nasty drake hurting the chickens or...
