    Too Many Drakes...Rehoming/Trading/Help!!!

    Hi everyone. I currently have 10 Indian Runners and 4 mallards. I am concerned about my drake to female ratio (11 drakes to 3 females). I am pretty sure the mallards are going to fly away since they were rescued as babies and seem to be their own little squad. However, the runners are a...

    Drake Biting Babies

    So it's interesting that you say that. We have had our male separated for the last 3 days. Last night we were putting the ducks back in their run and somehow he commingled with them and seemd to be fine. They all slept together in peace (I know I took a risk!). This morning when I let them out...

    Drake Biting Babies

    That sounds horrific. I don't think I could do that to my Halfshell! Hopefully it all works out.

    Drake Biting Babies

    Just wondering if I am on the right track here: My existing brood of ducks consisted of a male Indian Runner, a male Mallard, and a female Indian Runner. Mama had a clutch of 11 babies and all the ducks, males included, got along spectacularly. Then we introduced 2 more ducks, approximately 6...

    Help or Advice Please - Bully Duckling

    They turned out just fine. After a few days of separation, but still being visible, they worked it out. Now I just have to get my older drake to stop biting them. We've separated the drake from the rest of the flock for now. We'll see what happens.

    Help or Advice Please - Bully Duckling

    I have two Indian Runner ducklings that hatched 3 days apart. They are currently 7 and 4 days old. The older duckling constantly pecks at her siblings beak and mostly feet. Sometimes she'll go for the wing. I can see that the younger duck is annoyed because she always tries to get away. I have...

    Weird Question Looking for Quick Responses...

    Great news about your "wrong end" ducklings. I've never had one pip at the wrong end. Did you have to assist? I went to Tractor Supply this morning and got some niacin for both ducks. I figured it can't hurt. If the weaker one has a niacin deficiency, this should help. I allowed both of them...

    Weird Question Looking for Quick Responses...

    Good news, fridge duck hatched this morning and is doing ok. Very weak, so I gave water with vitamins. Very unstable on her feet, but will keep an eye on her.. Ok, so new question/concern. I introduced the newly hatched duck to the one that hatched already. She is pecking pretty hard at the...

    Perfect, thank you. When I got home this afternoon, I found that it had finally pipped. Now we need to wait to see when she'll zip. Ducks can be such lazy hatchers, sometimes!

    Weird Question Looking for Quick Responses...

    My husband is getting antsy and wants to do an emergency hole in the air sac. Part of me says wait and see, the other part agrees with my husband. But, what happens if you make an emergency hole and it hasn't internally pipped yet? I can't tell it it has or not.

    Weird Question Looking for Quick Responses...

    Long story short: 2 Indian Runner eggs went into the incubator at the same time. One was fresh from outside, another was one we collected earlier and stored in fridge. Today is Day 29. Fresh egg duck pipped yesterday, zipped today and is doing fine. Fridge duck - no pipping yet. We candled (yes...
