Male to female ratio is totally off. What should I do?
The original goal was to keep them for eggs, so I would like to keep the hen. I’m happy to hear that you have had a positive experience with just a 1:1 ratio! Thank you for your advice!! -

Male to female ratio is totally off. What should I do?
I got 4 Pekin ducklings in March and unluckily for me - 3 are male. I’m kind of unsure how to proceed. I know that my current ratio of male-to-female is totally off and could result in danger for my girl, but I just feel sad and unsure of what to do with 2 of the males now. Has anyone dealt with... -

Seeking advice on housing ducklings as they grow
Thank you for replying!! I have not built their permanent housing yet as I am waiting for snow to melt - but I’m planning to build it in the next 2 weeks or so. Will the ducks be ok if the temp gets below 50 degrees at night? Even with the heat source I am so paranoid about them being too cold... -
