    Question: How Can I Give My Special Needs Duck Company?

    Oh my gosh that sounds so adorable!! But no, all we have besides ducks are chickens and those guys can be real mean sometimes. But that’s a great suggestion, thank you!!

    How To Prevent My Ducks From Egg Binding?

    While taking care of my ducks today, I noticed an egg in the middle of the duck yard and when I picked it up, it was completely soft. That really worried me.

    Question: How Can I Give My Special Needs Duck Company?

    So, I’ve been raising ducks for three years and hatching them for two. This last summer we had a little guy hatch with a bad leg. At first I just thought it was a tendon problem but after taking him to the vet; it turns out it was a fused joint. He is unable to bend his leg so he is stuck...
