    My female runner duck is acting weird. Is it because of something?

    Yes. Probably shouldn’t have started a whole forum about it, but I just did lol. I forgot they were ducks, and that they are r e a l l y skittish.

    My female runner duck is acting weird. Is it because of something?

    No, I don’t think that that’s possible m. We were alone and only the tall grass was behind me, so she couldn’t see anything. She just made a deep rumbling in her throat and weirdly looked at my hair and was snapping at it. Not angrily but like she was in a trance. She quickly snapped out of it...

    My female runner duck is acting weird. Is it because of something?

    So, for some context, I’m feeding my ducks in the lawn (just some dandelion weeds). She starts shaking and growling at me, trying to eat my hair and eyes. I am just worried that it’s something that I did, and something is wrong with her, vs. a phase

    Should I worry about chlorine affecting my duck's eggs?

    That seems like a good solution. Only one of our dogs are good around the ducks, so I might run her around the area as well.

    Should I worry about chlorine affecting my duck's eggs?

    thank you... it smells a bit like chlorine and... chlorine. we are using about a 3 inch tab, but it isn't just the pond. since it is landscaping, it has about a 30 foot "river" going into the waterfall, then into the pond. I will try to empty, dry and clean the pond. Thanks for the advice!

    Should I worry about chlorine affecting my duck's eggs?

    Thanks all for your warm welcomes... we did see a fox in our cameras last night and the ducks are fine, but I was wondering if there was any way to naturally repel them? I was thinking of letting our dogs run around the area (with the ducks penned up) to sort of repel by scent? if there is any...

    Should I worry about chlorine affecting my duck's eggs?

    Ok. Barley balls sound like a much better solution... thank you for the advice. it is in the ground to it would be pretty hard to drain... it is also a waterfall so there is pumps and such attached.

    Should I worry about chlorine affecting my duck's eggs?

    It is about 3 feet deep, and 5 feet across. Fairly small. We put one tab of chlorine in about every 2-4 weeks

    Should I worry about chlorine affecting my duck's eggs?

    I was wondering if chlorine would affect the eggs that my ducks will eventually lay. We have a landscaped pond in our backyard, and we shock it with chlorine every now and again to keep algae from growing. This morning I let my ducks out and the pond was a literal bubble bath. I know that that...

    Can ducks have Herbs?

    I am new to having ducks, but I recently gave mine some parsley and they spit it out right away lol. I was wondering why but I guess they aren't used to the strong flavor... I also gave them Monte Carlo(a cousin of romaine) but they also spit it out. I think they like the weeds (dandelions...
