Dealing with skunks
They have food, eggs galore and all the water they can drink. We were expecting the ducks to go in last night. We have Pekins and our assorted ducks. The family is having their buffet in the Pekin side. We were able to check on our brooding duck (an assorted,) so she's in the coop they aren't...- MugsyM

Dealing with skunks
Last night my ducks wouldn't go in their pen. No way just wasn't gonna happen. Went in to check the water and while I was cleaning out and filling up their water I looked at the next pen and I caught sight of 5 skunks running around just eating eggs like them are in an all you can eat buffet...- MugsyM

Duck injury
Too late... she didn't make it. I am coming to the end of my ducks. I didn't replace any this year and lost way too many in too short of a time. We only had one duckling this year but lost 3 more since she was hatched. I'm pretty sure she's a she. She has no quack and still peeps like a baby...- MugsyM

Duck injury
Injury...I have a Pekin that got into it with something. It looks like her eye is missing and she has something slimy coming out of her beak. She is black all over. She's standing by her water, by herself in her pen and she isn't showing any signs of pain. Do ducks show signs of pain when they...- MugsyM

Momma let her/him come out for the first outing. She's 2 weeks old today. -
Help me guess
This is the one duckling hatched out of 5 brooding ducks. Anybody have a clue who might be the Baby Momma... Options 1 fawn and white Indian Runner, 1 Rouen, 2 Pekins and 1 Golden Egg 300? Then who might be the Baby Daddy.... Options 1 Pekin, 1 Khaki Campbell and 1 fawn and white Indian Runner... -
The New Kids on the Block
I have 3 pens now with 5 Igloos. The entire pen area is fenced. I let them free range during the day. We haven't lost any when we weren't around. We were in the backyard and 2 buzzards came down from the trees and attacked my female Campbell. It was just horrible. The girl we lost the other... -
The New Kids on the Block
Trying to keep up with a ratio is just impossible. I was just raising Pekins then I couldn't find any last year. I had 1, just one drake. I found 5 unknowns and I wound up with an Indian Runner, two Khaki Campbells and two Rouens. And then a brooder I swear has been sitting for a year hatched... -

Duck feeder
I'm following this one closely .... I just got some for feed and some for water. -
5 week old drake being aggressive?
I just watch for that drake feather to show up. That's about the only way I can tell with the Pekins. I thought the other Rouen was a drake, his tail feathers separated but it never curled. Did a name change from Roy to Roxie on that one. I just started with ducks in 2019 and I knew nothing... -
Will my Khaki Campbells Fly away?
I got 2 Khakis from TSC. I just got home... been driving around trying to find them. They have a run without a roof, we put them in it early this morning before we let the Pekins out. Looked out and saw them fly over the fence and fly into the woods at about 30 to 40 feet altitude. I kept...
