    The Duck Thread

    Went to go and let my ducks out for the day. It's pouring down.. I thought the ducks would be happy. I open the door and took cover as they normally come flying at me.. nothing. They're all just sat looking at me I thought ducks were meant to love rain? They've been out in worse. I've left the...

    I don't know if I should risk it or not

    I am also not in a risk zone. It it's not far from us on the map. Will we be able to let them out (with supervision) without netting? Or does netting have to be a thing. I've been told so many different things, I just don't know what to think. My five ducks are stuck in a shed with one window...

    I have a little issue. Some wild ducks keep visiting (garden likes to flood) I would normally leave them be, can I still leave them be or should I be making them leave? My ducks are netted and protected.

    thank you for the reply. We couldn't find tarp big enough to cover the duck pen. Finally got some sleep as today we are moving the fruit pen down into the duck pen. It's going to be a lot of work. Using some old panelling to cover the top and it's already covered in bird proof wire. Fingers...

    This is the first time I wish I didn't have ducks. I suffer from anxiety and this has blown me over big time, I haven't slept for two nights. They were in the stables but they got everything so wet! I've had to make them a little space outside because they were going nuts being stuck in. I only...

    If you haven't heard. Anyone in the UK needs to keep ducks/chickens and geese inside and safe. Water and food must be kept away from wild birds for 30 days! Keep an eye for any signs of illness and report any dead bird/duck. Read the link below for more details. Mine are still tucked up in bed...

    Duck eye issue (not sure what to think)

    Eddie, my Appleyard duck seems to be having issues with one of his eyes. I noticed he's been keeping it closed more often. He does open it but even when he's running around sometimes he will keep it closed! I can't see anything visibly wrong with the eye. I took a closer look today and a few...

    Everyone I've spoken to thinks I'm nuts but my boy Eddie keeps closing one eye (even when walking about). He does open it but it's closed mostly. I can't see anything visibly wrong with the eye. He's shed a few tears while I've held him out of the one eye but it's not gooey and I can't see any...

    Is the red dot on Bubbles bill something I should be worried about? It wasn't there the day before.

    Yes, unfortunately it is liquid. I managed to do it tonight with the bread again but he really does hate it and it takes waaaaay too long! He also spits some of it out. It's not ideal as he needs the correct amount. I'm going back to the vets to get his stitches out tomorrow, I'll ask if they...

    Just an update for everyone that gave advice on Squidge. He's doing much better today. He's finished his meds and is eating again! Poop is still a little green but back to normal state (other than colour) but it's no longer fluorescent. He's finally back out in the duck house tonight, after...
