Tractor Supply duck health??
They get Healthy Harvest layer feed mixed with Kalmbach duck feed (so they can get enough protein and niacin). They have almost 2 acres fenced in to roam during the day that’s all grass. Of course they make mud spots in it when it rains. I live in the Midwest so in the summertime they have 2... -

Today (Sunday) when I put them in the coop for the night is the 1st time I have seen this behavior. They have not drawn any blood. They just chased her around and pecked at her a... -

Advice needed about surviving ducks
I got 4 ducks a year ago. 1 drake Pekin, one female Pekin and 2 Cayuga females. My drake passed away a couple days ago. The 2 Cayugas are now picking on the Pekin female. Are they just establishing pecking order since the drake isn’t there to protect her anymore? Will this behavior stop? I’m not... -
