    BB-5-6month old female mallard

    I am looking for a good home for our female mallard. Her name is BB and her mate was killed by a coyote. Since then she has not left the yard and I have no money for a new mate for her. She likes our pond and virtually cares for herself but she needs a good home with other ducks and the...

    Well, I have to say that raising a flock is one of the best yet demanding experiences I have had since my son was an infant. My son, who is almost six, is expected and made to help with taking care of our birds. Some say I am mean and some don't think it right that he is made to help but I...

    My female mallard was attacked by hawk!!!!!

    Our girl is doing awesome!!!! Her wound is closed, she is walking on her foot. It is still a little weak but she jumped into her tub today. We have moved her and her mate back outside to a new pen. I hate to enclose them but it is for their safety. I thank God she healed......I would have cried...

    My female mallard was attacked by hawk!!!!!

    Her mate is in with her and she is doing great. Her wound looks good and is starting to close....her foot is still weak but she can now stand on it We are keeping our fingers crossed that she keeps progressing this well. At this rate and if the wound continues to heal like this, she should be...

    My female mallard was attacked by hawk!!!!!

    It is only because I saw it happen that I am sure my female mallard was attacked by a hawk and he tore her right front shoulder up pretty bad. I think he injured her left foot when he dropped her too because she won't stand on it but gives no sign of major injury upon touch. I have her in the...

    Our First Egg Is Here!!!!!

    It has been exactly two weeks since my girls started laying. We have gotten three dozen out of them so far......half of one being collected just this morning. I was absolutely shocked that I counted twice to be sure there really were six.

    My sons Mallard Drake

    Thank all of you for the advice and comments. I never thought about the color turning him (and now his girl, BB) away. They drink happily from it. I am looking into a stock tank, maybe a rubber one so if I decided to sink it into the ground I could. I am not sure yet. As for our interactions...

    My sons Mallard Drake

    This is my sons Drake. His name is Socko and he is about three months old. He now has a girl but she is still pretty skiddish, so I am giving her time before I try and get some pics of her. Socko is doing great and they are both so fun to watch. For some odd reason, he doesn't get into the water...

    Some of your best coops!

    We built our house out of an old slide in truck bed camper. We recently busted open the bottom of the upper bunk ( the part that would be over the cab of a truck) and added on to the house as we 'acquired' some more kids. It is no where near beautiful as it is put together with many leftover...

    Our First Egg Is Here!!!!!

    No there isn't a pic at the moment because my camera batteries are dead but I will post one as soon as it is done charging. I am excited still and I am not sure which hen laid the egg but all of my babies are from 18-22 weeks old. I have brown leghorns, red and black astralorp ?spelling?, barred...

    Our First Egg Is Here!!!!!

    I went to let my girls and boys out this morning and, as has become habit, I checked the nests and almost missed it but it was there snuggled down in the nest next to the 'example egg'. I let out a little yip and all my birds (duck included) stared at me like something was wrong!!! I am so...
