    Please Help - Can't Get Ducks In

    Thanks for the suggestions. I won't feed them again until tonight. They have a small area they can forage but it's certainly not enough to fill them so they should be pretty hungry by bedtime. I'm just scared trying to heard them because they get so worked up and running into and flapping...

    Please Help - Can't Get Ducks In

    I'm not sure what happened but in the course of a single day my ducks have decided that not only am I an axe murderer, but their house must be a slaughterhouse. Yesterday morning, I let my ducks out and gave them their breakfast. They seemed completely normal. Not scared of me at that point. I...

    Duckling Waterslide Cuteness

    EDIT: Removed as it was pointed out below these babies were being manipulated to perform. My apologies. Admins feel free to delete thread. I genuinely thought it was just ducklings being cute having fun.

    Help with ID of rescued duck

    I would tell her that if she genuinely thinks it's a wild duck, then she has committed a federal crime by taking it and needs to contact fish and game immediately. They will certainly be able to set her straight and would also inform her that releasing it back to the wild would be crime. If she...

    Liquid diet for injured duck?

    I remember seeing in another post there’s a spray you can get at TSC to keep flys out of wounds. Not sure about treating existing maggots though beyond removing them manually which might be too stressful and painful. Hopefully someone more experienced chimes in soon.

    Liquid diet for injured duck?

    Would silicone aquarium air tubing work? That’s at every pet store and even most Walmarts. It’s very soft and pliable and the end can probably be stretched to fit over a large syringe. Just a thought in case they can’t get back to the vet immediately for supplies.

    Duck Keeping Attire & Equipment

    Oooh, I actually have a giant metal “dust pan”. It’s actually for shoveling ash out of a wood stove, but it’s a bit too wide for my tiny stove.

    Duck Keeping Attire & Equipment

    I had a frogg toggs suit before, but it seemed like it would rip pretty easily. That one I got in the fishing department at bass pro I think, so maybe their general work line is a bit more rugged? I don’t mind spending a bit for quality stuff at this point, just want to make sure I’m getting...

    Duck Keeping Attire & Equipment

    I looked through and didn't find an appropriate forum or existing thread for this, so I figured I'd post it here. Plus I do think ducks have extra wetness involved perhaps affecting the best choice for attire. I'm looking for any recommendations & suggestions for first of all clothing and...

    I’m new to ducks myself, but I’m pretty sure that a KC drake! Thank you for saving him. I can’t help with the shoes, but I’m sure others will chime in soon.

    23 ducklings in one clutch?!

    Oh nothing that fancy. I just saved the photo to my phone camera roll and used the “markup” feature to make a little marker line on them as I counted.
