    Sadly one of my white crested ducks got killed this morning. The head was removed and the body left. So this doesn't happen again I'm looking at a medium dog pen (ya know the one with chain link) and then wrapping that with chicken cloth. Adding a tarp to the top for shade. My question is...

    Can we tell if Jayke is male or female? I'm thinking male because of his low raspy quacks?

    Is Jayke waking funny?

    The starter feed is formulated for Ducklings. I've been adding rooster booster to their special dinners (bowl of water with Lettuce, spinach ect) every evening. Jayke walks better outside than he does inside and im starting to think maybe he was bracing himself on my slippery wooden floors. (I...

    Is Jayke waking funny?

    Jayke is about 6 weeks maybe a little less. He is half quaking and half peeping still. He eats and drinks and swims just fine but he walks like ME. I am pigeon toed and to me it looks like he is too. I ordered some Rooster Booster and they are still on starter grower feed with Lettuce and peas...

    Okay so hosing down seems to be a great way to get rid of poo. That can work for me. We shall see how much grass they start to consume. Right now I don't see them eating it all since they are so little.

    That's SUCH a good roof. I originally called my town to "ask" about a building permit to build such a thing and they made such a big ordeal. Or I joined a local FB group and all of them said as long as you keep the smell down and you have good neighbors you should be fine. One neighbor fights...

    New duck Momma!

    I will go to my barn feed store and ask if they have it. I'm sure they do but if not I will get from Amazon. Any tips or tricks about easily cleaning up their waste? From what I gather you kind of stir/flip new pine chips/hay/whatever you may use as bedding in the area that you know they...

    New duck Momma!

    So with Jaykes legs, I noticed this when he swims its as if he is sinking ans can't hold up his 1lb body while the Littles ones swim circles around him like "come on big brother, it's like this" and he has his legs splayed and not directly under him moving front and back like the little ones do...

    New duck Momma!

    I have been feeding them duck starter feed and letting them swim in my bath for bout half an hour every day. I also let them roam in the backyard every day to explore/forage. Today was the first day I let them out by themselves in their new enclosure since it was built today. You speak of yeast...
