Do ducks get colds?
Hello all! I have a 15-month-old mallard drake named Peep. He is going through his second molt, the first since he got his breeding colors, and appears to be toward the end of it. His gray feathers on his back are starting to come back in. Yesterday my mom said she'd noticed his quack was very...- mommaducksweet

Peep needs more space! His dog kennel is just seeming too small and where it could go with every other day cleaning, now it needs to be changed out daily. It stays cleaner on the weekends when I'm home and he is out more, but during the week I work from 9-5 and I just don't want him to have to...- mommaducksweet

Love this! Thanks so much! I've been wanting to expand Peep's diet but I've been so worried about what he can and can't have!- mommaducksweet

Also, Peep likes to help type. Is it possible to stop/correct bad behaviors with ducks?- mommaducksweet

I have questions about feeding and bath times for you more experienced mommas out there. First of all, feeding. We only feed Peep once a day with dry food and once with veggies, and we fill his toy with meal worms about twice a day (maybe a little more if my nieces and nephew are over playing...- mommaducksweet

Update on Darkwing: Lil Peep is getting better acquainted with the pups and all is going well. His favorite English peas make the situation a lot more pleasant for him and a lot funnier for us. The beagle still couldn't care less about him. The mini poodle is still untrustworthy. But Addie, the...- mommaducksweet

This is my baby, by the way. His name is Darkwing, but most of the time we just call him Lil' Peep- mommaducksweet

I'm excited about toys now! We may move him into the den soon (which is where the dogs stay) and see how he does back there instead of the dining room. We would have to see how he does while we're home, first. Being on ground level near the dogs is usually a panic situation for him and I want to...- mommaducksweet

@marcelineduckie and @Scovy Momma , thanks, but I do have access to other baby ducks so if it becomes clear that he needs a friend, I don't see how I could very well say no. My mom works for our county 4-H program and she does an embryology program each year with the local elementary schools and...- mommaducksweet

Thanks @Scovy Momma ! That helps a lot actually! Right now he is drinking out of a dish we don't use for the dogs anymore, it is lower and fairly wide which probably only helps him make a mess because he can lay next to it and play (which is pretty cute but maybe not worth the mess). We use a...- mommaducksweet

I posted the following to another thread and someone recommended I come here for an answer. Hopefully someone can help: So I have a five/sixish week old duck and we've basically broken all the rules of duck ownership thus far, but he seems to be thriving in the current situation. He is our...- mommaducksweet
