    New Coop / Run Questions

    Hello Everyone! Two ducks incoming next spring, starting preperations now. I have a few questions! 1. Is 13'x10' big enough of a run for 2 ducks, it would include their 2x6 hutch, and a 4x4 pool, as their 'run' will be their place all day. When we are home they will be free range in the yard...

    They ate a mouse!

    Yes! My Cat would bring mice to my two ducks and they would tear it to shreds. Weird little game they played.... lol

    Missing duck, nothing left behind. I feel so sad

    I'm so sorry, Amanda. I lost both of my babies recently to something similar. It was an eagle, it completley took one and left the other behind wounded beyond repair. It is a horrible loss. If you don't feel comfortable getting another duck, I would rehome her. They are very social, and she woud...

    Preparing for new babies

    Hello everyone, Devestating news. This last week, my two babies April and Andy were attacked by an eagle while I was changing their hay in their hutch. I am absolutley devestated and reeling from this loss. My partner and I have talked it over, and we are just duck owners at heart. So, next...

    Wildfires and my Ducks

    Two ducks only, they have a big water bowl big enough for that, but I can put in another. No garage but was thinking about perhaps putting them in the guest bathroom this evening so they don’t go a day without a large water source.

    Wildfires and my Ducks

    Hi All, So- in my state there are a few pretty harsh wildfires going on. Not near enough to me that we are in imminent danger or needing to evacuate, but the smoke is terrible. The smoke is supposed to last today, through the night, and fade tomorrow. Usually, throughout the day my ducks would...

    One male one female duck

    Hey guys! My two ducks are finally to that age where I can confidently gender them, Andy is definitely a boy and April is definitely a girl. Is this okay? They are Cayuga ducks, and getting another duck is not an option in my space. I got them for eggs, and one of them just was mistakenly a male...

    Ducks with separation anxiety?

    Hi guys! My ducklings are about 6 weeks old now and CANNOT be separated. They love to be held but only if I am holding both at the same time, and if I only pick up one the other screams until I put it back down. It seems like they have some pretty bad separation anxiety, I’m assuming because...

    Taking Care of my Ducks (advice?)

    Hi everyone! I have two ~ month old Cayugas. They are still in the brooder in the house because my weather has been rather unpredictable and sporadic (days of heavy rain and very cold to sudden days of extreme heat). it seems to me the best thing to do to keep them inside until the temperature...

    We’re working on a roofed section of the run! Just trying to figure out the best way to do it that’s also cost effective
