    Duck and Drake dilemma

    Typically you would want 3-4 hens per drake so if both welsh harlequins were drakes it could cause a problem

    Gender and breed?

    Smokers normally have rougher voices, you could google male vs. female duck quacks and listen to them then compare them to your ducks.

    Why are my ducklings so skittish?

    Yup, just like Viennaproto I would recommend giving them treats, its seems that most ducks love peas but green beans and carrots cut to around the same size as peas work too! Good luck with raising ducklings, I loved raising my three! There's also lots of information on ducks over on the duck...

    help?!?!

    Like you said she doesn't like the grass being destroyed in the yard there might be things you could do to limit them from free ranging in the yard, like DuckyDonna asked if you could put them in a pen? Maybe only have them free range around the yard a few days while the rest could be in their...

    Chickens Soaked from the Rain

    Just a little side note Its been raining for a few days, pouring most of the day and is meant to rain again tomorrow. Two of our chickens seem to think they are ducks and have been staying out in the rain with them, they have a chicken coop that they can easily go into. The ground of the run is...

    What breed is she? Also a Question abouy

    She definitely looks like a welsh harlequin and they can be more tan than white sometimes. But it does look like she might be a mix with a saxony or Rouen duck.

    Where to get silver swedish ducks?

    So we got 3 ducks last year (Ash, Honeydew, and Pepper Hence my username lol), and we were curiously looking for more to add to our flock. When we ran across the silver swedish ducks, they're gorgeous! But I couldn't find any hatcheries or local farms that sold them. The only way I seemed to be...
