    Empty feeder syndrome

    It may be because they cannot reach the feed in the jar. Try a smaller, lower to the ground feeder.

    Duck went missing!

    Don't panic yet! I have had this problem before. If there is no evedence of blood or signs of a struggle, she probably ran off to a hidden nest of some kind. The first time this happend to me, I was heart broken, but when I went to go check on them the next morning, there she was, hanging...

    Duck Food

    Greetings, It is just one of those days. I was feeding the ducks, and of course, I was out of food. Murdochs is closed, and I have no other places to purchase duck food. I can go tomorrow, but it is cold, and ducks need food. I am wondering if there is an easy alternative to store bought duck...

    Help! Will he live?

    I don't know. Would his life really be better if you kept him alive, or would he be happier if you let him go. This is a tough call, but I think in the end, he may be happier to be set free of his pain.

    Problem in The Duck Coop

    I Don't Know

    Well, I moved her yesterday. It not difficult to get her off of her nest, but boy! She wants to get back to it. Every time I open the door to give her water, she will try to run for it. I have opted not to let her out for the next couple of days to give her time to calm down, and so she will not...

    I Don't Know

    I don't know what to do. My duck has been sitting on eggs for a while, and they were starting to smell. On a hunch I open one up, and it was completely rotten. I don't know what to do with the other eggs. The nesting duck is in a bush, and is hard to access. I could take out all of the eggs, but...
