    I need to know if its possible to own peruvian thick knees (hesperoburhinnus superciliaris)

    I watch the same TikTok (Tito) and want one too- apparently they are impossible to find outside of Peru

    Rescuing mallard duckling

    That’s not true that they won’t survive in the wild if raised by humans - mallards are the opposite in fact - for example, if you buy a mallard duckling and hand raise it, it is still more than likely that one day the duck will quack at you and fly away…just raise them until they are able to...

    Is it safe to have chicks or goslings indoor ?

    It’s totally safe- I’ve raised countless ducks (and let the little ones sleep on a pee pad on the bed)…never had any issues (these are pet ducks kept in an aviary so they don’t mix with wild ducks nor swim in an open lake, just thier private pond)

    Beautiful Silky Rooster (hatched summer 24’) needs home in central NJ / Bucks County area

    I have a beautiful white Silky rooster (hatched in approximately June 2024) so very recently became mature. Looking for a good home where he will be loved (and never eaten). Needs a new home because of the awful unconstitutional dictatorial government rules in place (now that I got that out of...

    Will winter duck nest (right now) hatch given these conditions

    Excellent- I agree, I’ve seen most of what you said, but I didn’t know it was that warm for the ducklings- I was only worried in this particular situation because it’s never been below 40deg when my hens were incubating in the past - that partially why I added the heater - I have a camera on the...

    Will winter duck nest (right now) hatch given these conditions

    Oh, the hen? Right, she comes of the nest each day - since she was hatched and raised, she knows to quack for her food which we deliver to the nest box (scrambled eggs) and for her bath - we fill the sink and let her wash - then after grooming she goes back in the box

    Will winter duck nest (right now) hatch given these conditions

    Oh, I am prepared for that - having hatched many ducklings in the middle of winter - I have a mini habitat on the porch…small plastic molded pond with ramp…duck paradise

    Will winter duck nest (right now) hatch given these conditions

    I have a heated porch area where I let winter ducklings live if they hatch. Understood - im Actually an electrician, so I use a small 7” electric blower heater that I mounted safely to the wall- I put that in when the temp dropped into the 20s because i could sense mama duck needed a little...

    Will winter duck nest (right now) hatch given these conditions

    My call duck female laid about 13 eggs and started sitting on nov 15 or so- her nest is in a box which is inside a medium chicken coop - once it got real cold a few days ago I put a small electric space heater in the coop to at least raise the ambient temp a little bit - seems to raise the temp...

    I thought that as well - usually my ducks freak out when a hawk is sited- but recently a hawk killed and partially ate a silky chicken when I was maybe 20 feet away in the yard - I did not hear a sound!!! Then when I walk over I just happened upon the scene

    Yes, all my ducks fly- but I think you might be happy with a pair of Call Ducks - my friend has a few available for sale - call Ducks are tiny, like miniature mallards…they can fly just like a mallard but if raised with humans can go out in the yard free range if safe from predators and will...

    It might be better for you to buy a pair if the other duck you have is also 14 yrs + that way if something happens the other two won’t be as affected

    I have a few…depends where you are and what type of environment they will have - I would only want my ducks to go to a equal or better environment - they are cross between call duck hen and mallard father- silver ducks- I think I have one that is not paired up already . I’m in central NJ as...

    Mallard Hen lays 2 eggs within about 45minutes

    Yes, i noticed the dot of blood on the second egg. the reason i had brought her inside was becasue a few males were trying to mate with her- What's interesting is I have at least 6 other females but they are all silver/brown (call / mallard cross)...the mallard males all seem to want to mate...
