    Winter snack ideas for Sebbies? And how to safely keep them warm...

    This is the first winter of having my Sebastopols and I'm not sure what I should be giving them for "snacks" or extras once the green grass is gone. I'm in CT and we are expecting snow tomorrow so no more grass to chomp. Also, I'm looking for a safe way to heat their house. I have only a pair...

    Banding Geese for ID

    I have two Sebastopol goslings - male and female- and my intent is to get another pair for them to breed with. I'd like to know what you use for identifying your geese. I grabbed some bands at Tractor Supply on clearance yesterday meant for chickens but apparently one band has already slipped...

    What do I need to do? My duck hatched ducklings!

    We honestly didn't think our duck was going to hatch anything. We have a Runner and then a pair of Swededs. Well, the female Swede layed a huge nest of eggs but never sat on them - perfect for us. The Runner, Emily, on the other hand protected her nest like a dragon I have been checking on the...

    Anyplace to get ducks this time of year? I have a single sad duck!

    We have a rescue but the ducks they have are in pairs and large for the current area I have. I am digging through old e-mails now trying to see if anyone I know has something.

    Anyplace to get ducks this time of year? I have a single sad duck!

    With the daylight change, etc our free range ducks have been coming back later in the day. Well, something got 2 of them and now poor Emily is quacking and lonely. I have posted on Craigslist and searched but can't seem to find anything. Emily is a Runner and I'm not picky except we would prefer...

    Does anyone have a links to whimsical housing?

    Thank you! One thing I am hoping to find is a large drain pipe used for sewers I think. Just 2 feet tall and I can add a toadstool top to it for a toadstool house.

    Does anyone have a links to whimsical housing?

    We have a duck house already that matches the treehouse I built for my girls. This summer we are finishing our fenced in garden and I'd like to make a shelter of some kind in there for the ducks. It doesn't have to close for safety, just something to keep out of the sun with a small pond for...

    How do I take care of a runt?

    Sorry I wasn't clear. We have both a Rouen and 2 Khaki Campbell's. One of the Khakis is "normal" sized and the other doesn't look like it's grown much if at all. I'll try and get a picture tomorrow as I am going to work now.

    How do I take care of a runt?

    Long story short, a few weeks ago I posted about 2 orphaned Mallards we have and I bought them frie4nds at TSC. The friends turned out to be Rouen and Khaki Campbell according to what I got for feedback here. I haven't been paying close attention because we have ducks outside plus dogs and...

    Please help identify what I bought.

    Last year we had a Blue Swede that was all black when we got it. On a side note, DH came home tonight and I never said a word. I saw him walk to the garage and then come back in the house. I slyly glanced tot he side as he was trying to form the question. How did we get more ducks? I told him...

    Please help identify what I bought.

    I know what the Runners are (not in the picture). I am wondering what the ones with the black blaze and the all black are. Sorry I wasn't more specific.

    Please help identify what I bought.

    Supposedly all TSC got were Mallards which is why I am obviously confused. We also have 3 Indian Runners so my husband should be thrilled tonight LOL

    Please help identify what I bought.

    Pretty please:D Long story short (my compuer shut off mid-typing on this) my dog scared a Mallard, we have 2 of her ducklings, she has been gone for 24 hours with her other dozen babies. I went to TSC and bought what they had labeled as Mallards but I am doubting what I was told. Can you tell...

    Putting ducklings outside

    Now personally, I have wanted Indian Runners for yeras. So, I don't mind the hassle of their mess too too much. My husband on the other hand is less than impressed with their new domain. He doesn't understand that ducklings enjoy American Girl doll furniture and playkitchens as much as his...
