    Wet feather or something else?

    @Lauraduck @New duck mommy 2021 Thanks ya'll for the replies. Yes the drakes are in drake jail, but we did let them out for about 30 mins for 2 nights in a row so they could get a good dunk in the pond, and they all went right for the 2 white ducks. So that would make sense since I've noticed...

    Wet feather or something else?

    Hello, Fairly new duck owner here. I acquired 5 adult females about 6 weeks ago. They did not come from the best conditions, it was overcrowded with a tiny/muddy swimming hole. They are all much thinner than the 3 drakes and 1 hen I raised, but over the past month the 2 black swedish and the 1...

    URGENT female duck prolapse

    Drake drama

    I read 2 a piece in a book which is why I got 5 females for 6 total (2 per drake), but then my mind was blown later when I read if you have 2 or more drakes you need 3-5 females per each drake. So basically I should have given the one female to my sister's kids and just had a all drake group...

    Drake drama

    I'm having this exact issue. My neighbor gave me 4 ducklings earlier this year. I wasn't looking to acquire ducks but my sister's kids have 3 and love them, and I have a great little pond ready made for ducks. But I ended up with 3 drakes and 1 hen. I finally found adult females and bought 5...
