    question about a stressed duck (mate was killed)

    where is the best place to look for an adult female? This same thing just happened to us 2 days ago and our drake seems so sad. He is 3 so I definitely do not want to introduce a baby.

    Help!!! Pekin bacame broody while on vacation...

    OH NO!! Something got 2 of the eggs. I found shell in the corner of the enclosure and a smashed one in the nesting box. She has been very noisey today. Typically, she is pretty quiet. What do I do just leave the other 2 and see what she does?

    Duckling names?!?

    Hi is too cute!! He looks like a Pepe La Pue to me. We have Pekins, Quackers, Doug and Grizz. The kids named them. Since Quackers has decided to become broody I have been calling her Miss Jemima Puddle Duck.
