    Lonely duck + intro-ing a friend?

    Update: We got a ~2-3 month old Muscovy from a local family a few days ago. She's very cute, but not as social as my Welsh (yet!) All is going very well with the introduction! We kept them apart, through a pen at first. But my original Welsh has been SO loud since bringing the Muscovy in. They...

    @Pekin104 Did you find a farm? I'm also in Austin looking for a young muscovy.

    Does any young / duckling muscovys for sale near Austin TX? We will drive! We lost one of our two last week in our small backyard flock. Hoping to grab another female as soon as I can find them. I've tried Callahans THANKS!

    Lonely duck + intro-ing a friend?

    Thanks! I will keep you posted. I'm hoping to get the new addition within the week, or she's going to drive our neighbors crazy with her yells! Here is a pic of our lonely girl. Doing a little preening so she looks a little chunky here. Here's her and the sis at only about two months post swim...

    Thanks for the quick reply. Glad to hear all of that. It gives me a little confidence. I was planning on popping in a heating pad or light for the evenings especially. We are in Texas so the days are starting to warm up more and more. Thanks again.

    Lonely duck + intro-ing a friend?

    Hi everyone! I have a solo lonely Welsh Harlequin whose sister was killed by a fox last week :( I work from home, it was very early in the morning and we think the fox just slipped through the fence after they were let out of the run. We were there within seconds but it was just barely too late...

The golden was so so beautiful but just got killed by a neighborhood fox last week :( We are going to get another for her lonely sister. Here she is. Shes also very pretty just...

    New ducks!

    How did your ducks turn out? Sexes? And temperament as adults?

    Nervous about duck noise - what's your experience?

    Thanks everyone. As a first-time-post-er this response has been great! :love @Duckworth We are also about 50 feet from our neighbors but with a pretty good sound barrier from the big wooden fence. We are also surrounded by massive oak trees. We can totally handle some noise here and there, my...

    Nervous about duck noise - what's your experience?

    Hi all! I'm relatively new to backyard birds and are considering adding two ducks to my family. I have done quite a bit of reading and the more I read, the more nervous I become. I hope you fellow duck and chicken owners can help me know what to expect. I have been lurking on BYC for months now...

    Newbie here! Hello!

    Hi!! I'm a newbie too. I'm in Austin TX but grew up in eastern NC. Lived in Raleigh most of my adult life. I've been lurking on BYC for almost 5 months now. I jumped right in and got my girls (hands on learning?). Probably far too uneducated, but we all made it through no worse off ;) You will...
