    Campbell ducks...how old before they stop laying

    My ducks lay daily. What sort of age do ducks stop laying? Thanks. Just curious!

    Bullied duck?

    There are no signs of plucked feathers,that I can see. She is white,so I think I would notice any marks. Thanks for the reply

    Bullied duck?

    Well, I have 3 girls,and most of the time they stick together. Sometimes,the smallest,goes off on her own. I have to lift her up at night,to put her to bed,she's tame,and allows me to lift her gently. Could she be bullied,or just independent? They are all laying

    Pumping water from the pond

    With my fish tank,I put in a wide hose pipe to drain,and suck the water through,to start the syphon,with gravity. Being a pro,I never suck in the water.... But don't fancy a mouth full of duck poo.

    I found the poo good for plants! I'm using buckets,but its time consuming!

    Pumping water from the pond

    I cant really have a set up like those,because of electricity supply and space. I'm rubbish with DIY as well! Its just a dirty water pump,to get the old out,and I would replace weekly with a hose pipe

    Pumping water from the pond

    I keep tropical fish,so I know any filter wont cope with duck mess. I'm looking for a dirty water pump,and will replace the water from the pond,rather than filter it. So can any one recommend a pump? Cheaper the better! PM me if advertising or links are an issue. I'm in the UK,so reasonable...

    Royal rooster feeder and waterers

    Has anyone used the Australian company, for duck feeders and waterer? Is it worth me shipping one from Australia to UK?

    Artificial grass

    I have a slight mud problem,and want to ask whether false grass is safe to the ducklets? Not completely covering the lawn,but just on the particularly muddy bits!

    Reeds and rushes

    Not much room to hide, but my dog would soon seek them out. He barks when he is inside if a cat walks passed the house!

    Pumping water from the pond

    Couple of pics The patio is on a slight hill,so water would run up slightly, then almost vertical for a metre,till it drains out
