    Duck found dead / decapitated

    These three ducks are / were completely free ranging. They were pets here when we bought the house in a subdivision outside of Charleston SC a year ago. When we had hurricanes, I did put them on the screened porch w tarps on the sides to protect them a little bit. They hated it. They were about...

    Duck found dead / decapitated

    That’s a beautiful picture. Camera works well! We live in a large subdivision so there are not a lot of predators I would think. The nest cam did however catch a call of an owl on Friday and Saturday. We have alligators in some of the ponds but none have been seen in our pond but I think an...

    Duck found dead / decapitated

    We have / had 3 free ranging ducks. 2 Peking’s and one Khaki Campbell. I had to leave town because we had a death in the family but had someone coming by to feed the ducks. I saw on the nest video camera that they were fine Friday evening when they came for supper. I watched the video cam last...

    Me again. Help

    I took the male to the vet today. I have to keep him separated for 2 weeks while I give him meds for his eye and see if I can get him healthy again. The female Peking is with him right now so I can see how that works (they have been together all of their lives) I have the khaki Campbell and...

    Me again. Help

    Should I put the female and male Peking’s together that have lived together all their lives? Or separate each of them? I could put a couple on my screened porch .... have put all 3 there during hurricanes (when they were getting along)

    Aggressive behaviors

    Thank you. They are all beautiful. The aggressiveness has me worried and is starting to take a toll on the Peking male. No unfortunately no coop. They free range. I do bring them on the screened in porch when a hurricane is on the way.

    Aggressive behaviors

    The previous owners assumed someone put him on this pond summer of 18. I did hold the male Peking yesterday and check out his eye and weight. I am concerned about him. The others seem in good health. Is it safe to list on Craigslist? I’ve never had ducks before moving to this house - much less...

    Aggressive behaviors

    You are probably right. I wish I could. However, I live in a subdivision in the city (Charleston SC) The previous owners bought the 2 Peking’s as babies and put them in the pond behind the house. Irresponsible yes - but they have been here their whole lives. The Khaki showed up in July of 18 and...

    Aggressive behaviors

    I bought a home a year ago that “came with” 3 free ranging ducks. One male Peking, one female Peking and one male (young) Khaki Campbell. They seemed to get along fine until about a month ago. 2 very young male mallards showed up too and tried to join the flock. The 3 senior ducks personalities...
