What I mean by accepted is they used to chase her around or run and jump on her and run away being dominant. Now they leave her alone. If they’re by the water and she comes over, they bite at her face until she goes away. If they’re laying down and she comes over, they bite at her until she...

Can I ask as well about your experience? I inherited a blind duckling. It was getting bullied at her old home and she asked me to take her I did. I though it was nutrient deficient but after watching her, she is blind. She is 6 weeks old now. I have tried to pair her with the ducklings...

I have 2 questions here : taming ducklings and mallard temperament. I have 5 and a half week old ducklings, 4 welsh harlequins and a mallard in one pen and 3 runners in another. We have the 1 mallard because they were the 5 left. I couldn’t leave her by herself. In the past, I have had...

Is there anyone in Iowa that can give my welsh harlequin drake a new home? He is approximately 4 weeks old. I bought 4 ducklings and crossed my fingers. Well, I got 3……..

Thank you. Very much appreciated.

I am going to get hardware cloth. This is how the pens were advertised and had good reviews for protection. I let my guard down and it’s my fault. Any advice for the ground? I’ll put the hardware cloth along the side.

I am in Central Iowa

These were pets. Not funny
