    How do I introduce a new duck to my flock?

    I have 2 pekin drakes and 2 pekin females. I keep the girls with one of the drakes in the coop and the other drake stays on the other side of the coop. The drake that the females stay with doesn’t seem to mistreat them or anything, not that i can tell anyway. The other drake can really horny and...

    My duck is sitting on eggs, but i can’t have anymore ducks, what to do?

    I let the ducks outside today and one of my hens wanted to go back in the coop to sit on her eggs. The problem is, i can’t have anymore ducks. I gave away most of my other ducks bc there were too many (especially bc they were boys) and I now have 4 ducks left. I don’t have any fertile chicken...

    How do you deal with the guilt and grief of rehoming your ducks??

    I haven't rehomed them yet, but someone is interested in adopting(whatever you wanna call it) them. I feel so guilty and I’m already grieving over rehoming them, but I can’t take care of so many ducks anymore. I love them, but it’s a lot. I’m already crying over rehoming them. Edit: I have yet...

    Having trouble finding new home(s) for adult boy ducks..Any tips?

    I want to rehome 5 of my boy ducks, but I’ve had no luck finding anyone who wants any ducks. My mom has asked around and no one wants any. I have a good mind to try out craigslist, but I’m a little scared. I don’t really feel comfortable with trying to find them new homes on here, but any other...

    Would it be a good idea to introduce a new female duck into the family?

    I’m planning to rehome several of my boy ducks as I have too many of them. I would be left with two boys, but I have two females. I have a place where I can put the other boy duck so the girls won’t be overbred or hurt. I wanna get another female duck, would that be a good idea? I’m not really...

    This may sound strange, but has anyone ever grown a garden for their ducks??

    I know this is strange, but has anyone ever done it? Growing a garden for your ducks? Obviously growing only certain foods that they can eat. Or is there anything fun that you can make for them?

    Is my duck going broody again or is she just wanting to breed?

    I was cleaning out the coop today while the ducks were hanging out outside and one of my hens kept making this noise and she wanted back in the coop for some reason. She’s been broody before, but idk if she’s broody again or if she just wants to breed. She insisted on making her nest in this...

    Please help, I think my duck has a cold (especially in his eye)!

    I think my drake has a cold. He has his eye shut and there was something (not pus) coming out of it. I tried to clean it with some warm water. How can I help him? Currently not able to get outside right now bc it’s dark and I can’t get to the store for a while. Will this clear up on its own?

    What do you do when a specific feed is sold out??

    My ducks eat dumor 17% all flock pellets, but it’s sold out at every tractor supply that i’ve looked at online. I could only find one that had just a few bags left. I could only get one bag bc holy hell, shipping is crazy. My duck feed is running low and I don’t know when the new bag will be...

    Does anyone use 5 gallon buckets for their ducks?

    If so, are they affective?? How do you turn them into waterers for your ducks and how long does the water last? I’m going somewhere in a few weeks and i want my ducks to be able to have enough water to last them for 2 days. How can I convert a 5 gallon bucket into a waterer?? Are there any...

    I think my hen is sitting?

    I went outside to let my ducks out today and one of my hens was sitting on her nest and she wouldn’t go out. She’s been sitting on her nest for quite awhile today. She went outside once today and that’s all. One of the males tried to mate with her and she didn’t even try to leave or anything. I...

    I think she’s done that before. She also moves the hay around too to cover the eggs.

    Is my duck going broody??

    One of my hens makes a strange noise when she’s outside and I don’t know what it means. She flirts with the boys and wants to breed with them, I know. I find her sitting on the nest sometimes, but not always. I don’t have footage of the her making the noise, but she started doing it recently. I...

    How can I expand my duck coop?

    I don’t have a picture of my current coop yet, but it’s about 10 ft wide and 5 ft tall. The sides are hardware wire and the roof is tin. The duckies have straw bedding with a divider to keep the boys separated from the girls. My boys started fighting about a month ago, so I’ve have to separate 2...
