Made my own duck diaper *directions added*
Olamina Goose's first sock diaper! Thanks for the tip! This should be a sticky! I used a panty liner maxi pad (22 count from the dollar store) instead of the dog training pad. I loosely double tied the shoe laces and Ola nibbled at the laces a bit but she couldn't undo it. This was... -
Duckling Flipping on Back, Gasping
Ok so the bad news is I don't know what's wrong with your babies. The good news is that you came to the right place and I'm sure everyone will do all they can to help you and your little ones. That being said I have some questions for you: What are your ducks eating and has anything changed... -
Ok now don't laugh at me but......
I will definitely not blow or yell in their ears, that's just mean! And I will definitely be attentive to their ear areas. So far their heads seem to be their preferred petting place :). Thx again guys. (gals w/e) -
Ok now don't laugh at me but......
Ohh! Thanks guys. I knew they had them now I know where . I like to pet my ducks heads..... do I need to be sensitive to the areas where there ears are? -
Ok now don't laugh at me but......
How do Ducks, Geese, Chickens, ect hear? I was cuddling some of the babies last night and I realized they have no ears! SO how do they hear? I know this is probably a very very silly questions, I am guessing at one point they covered this in school?, but I don't recall the answer lol. And since... -

Thanks for the info! Do you ever ship chicks? Eventually down the road I am interested in entering a show with all my fowl but that won't be till next year at least. I guess what I am looking for is quality chicks with the potential to be or to breed showbirds at some later stage ya know? Yours...- Olamina

Not enough calcium? What does she eat? -
Molting? or just being plucked??
You have too many boys. They are basically raping her it sounds like and that can get pretty messy. They will pull out her feathers and what not and can cause permanent damage if not handled. Do you just have the three ducks? Two drakes to one hen is not a good ratio. The boys tend to be very...
