Rouen eating everything! Help!!!
She seems bright and alert, but a little slower than normal. She is typically the wild one and lately she has been much slower. We stopped her from eating the paint, I think, but she may have gotten a piece down before I could get to her. The caulking on the other hand, she seemed to really be... -
Rouen eating everything! Help!!!
Our 6 month old rouen just started laying like 10 days ago and she has developed a weird "pica-like" habit and she is trying to eat all these pad things. She has peeled paint off of the garden wall to eat, she was eating caulking yesterday, and she tried to peel pain up off our floor to eat when... -

Hi All!! I am coming up on my first winter with my two ducks and I am getting a bit nervous. Our girls have always known warm weather until the past two weeks or so and now it it getting quite cold at night (we live in New Hampshire on the seacoast), so I have a few questions for you guys... -
Wierd behavior in 14 week old Pekin
Hi all! I have a 17 week old pekin (her "sister" is a 17 wo rouen). Both are females and today the pekin was in her clean pool and she started to lean forward, putting her tail up in the air and exposing her vent. I'm not sure what this behavior means...she has also been loosing a bunch of... -
Ducklings need a good home!
I live in New Hampshire and I REALLY wish I could take these darlings for you! What I would try is to reintegrate them with their brothers and sisters slowly. Put a fence between them all and let them get used to each other day by day. I bet you could get them back into their own little duck... -
Hurt duckling
Daisy is almost completely back to being herself again! She never acted differently, but she truly could not walk at all on Saturday. Saturday night we started our girls on niacin in their water. Sunday morning, daisy tried to take a few steps. Every day she has been walking more and more. She... -

She is two weeks old tomorrow! :) that is the only reason I doubted her getting her honk already. Is that what it is supposed to start off sounding like? -
What is does this noise mean? (Video)
Hey BYC! my duckling started making this noise while she preens herself ontop of her peep. She doesn't do it all the the time and she is not acting abnormal at all. I'm just curious what this means. Listen carefully! -
In need of some SERIOUS HELP!!
Okay! I got some Niacin 100mgs. I will put that in her water. I am also going to try to put her in a bath. I thought they weren't supposed to swim until ~4 wks old so I haven't done that yet, but I will try tonight and towel dry her off. If you or anyone else can think of anything, PLEASE let... -
DUCKLING HELP!!! :( URGENT
Hey BYC! I just got a pekin and rouen on the 24th of April. They have been best friends ever since, with the occasional bite of the other, but last night, my pekin stepped on my rouen's foot and she tried to get up, but couldn't.
