    Is this a suitable home for ducks?

    This is where I keep my ducks. At night, I put them in the kennel to settle down a bit and then in that smaller cage just as it gets dark out. I let them out of the cage and the kennel every morning so they have free range of my completely fenced in yard all day. I was wondering if they'd be...

    Is it dangerous for them to be together? I don't have another cage to separate them..:/

    Bald spot on duck's neck?

    My almost one year old welsh harlequin duck has a big bald spot on the back of his neck. It's about the size of a golf ball! I've noticed that one duck always attacks and bites the back of the other ones neck. I've read that this is a form of mating, but they're both boys? Help!!!:/

It's a darker orange than the normal color of their bills, and it covers about half of their top. I could peel it off (if I tried.) is there anything that would cause this? Is it...

    Food Scraps?

    When my ducks were babies, I gave them (soft) vegetables, cut up very small. I would also make them white rice and oatmeal, and I'd overcook it to make it softer. I never gave them bread, because I heard so many different things as to whether or not it was safe for them. I would say just stay...

    Food Scraps?

    I have two Welsh Harlequin ducks, and I give them pellet duck food, and then table scraps. I'll give them any fruit or vegetables that are starting to go a little bad, raw oats, white rice, etc. I won't give them anything with lots of salt or sugar, citrus, onions, etc..

    My ducks won't come in for the night?'

    Good news! They made their way up to the deck! Could there be any reason as to why?

    My ducks won't come in for the night?'

    I live in NH with two welsh harlequin ducks. In the winter, I keep them in a cage with a heat lamp, and the cage is covered by towels. During the day, I put them outside in my backyard. When they're ready to come in, they wait by the door on the back deck. They usually are on the deck by 5:30...
