    Ducks quacking at night

    The poison will not be inside with the ducks. I trapped over 60 rats last summer, poison is the only option. The drakes aren't the problem. I have 4 drakes and 13 ducks and only the ducks are quacking...actually lately the ducks are the ones fighting.

    Aggressive Runners Usual?

    You'll need to get more ducks or separate the males until the are settled. I had to separate my Male Runner from my Blue Swede as the runner would do all he could to chase down the swede and chew on his neck. It was bad but not unexpected. I ended up separating the pen and kept the two...

    Fertilized duck eggs disappearing

    Do you have a sneaky dog? Mine goes in and steals the eggs right out from under them. It could be anything but probably something small or else I'd assume they'd rather eat the duck. I wouldn't lock her up either. If she wants to sit she will....maybe tighten up the security around the...

    Swede Duck has gone Cuckoo!

    Thanks for the reply.... Those were my thoughts at first, however...she doesn't sit on her nest at all. She built one, and pretty much leaves it and wanders around with all the others. My W.H. drake pokes at her, but doesn't try to breed with her. It's almost like he's annoyed at her...

    Fighting Drakes...Questions

    Hi All, My Indian Runner male is completely obsessed with attacking my Blue Swede drake to the point where all he does is v-line straight to him to fight. I expected some fighting but it seems a little over the top.... I have them separated in their pen and at night but I want to let them...

    All my ducks, including Cayugas, stopped laying since Thanksgiving...I got a few eggs this past week I'm assuming because the days are getting longer...Likely just the season.
