    How to choose a new companion?

    Thank you. I think it will be possible to get two younger females.

    How to choose a new companion?

    Absolutely ♥️ when they were ducklings I used to be so excited to get home to them and they would sleep on my shoulders or my lap!

    How to choose a new companion?

    Oh really? I had in mind that they can live to 15-20 years of age. And I’ve been going over and over what we could have done differently which may have helped her 😢 Yes - that’s what we thought too. We have found some large lumps on our other girl after giving her a thorough check over so we...

    How to choose a new companion?

    Thank you - that’s so kind. I imagine that people who’ve never owned ducks or chickens would never believe how upset we are 😢

    Please help! 😢

    It feels like there is also a small lump on the opposite side (same position), but no where near the same size…

    Please help! 😢

    Thank you for responding. I’ll try and get a close one of it, but you can see the positioning here. She’s gone through/ finishing her moult, and I’ve read what I can, which has made me wonder whether it could be an infection from an ingrowing feather. But I’m thinking something to do with...

    Please help! 😢

    What an awful week! Two days ago I went to let my two beautiful girls out in the morning, to find one of them had died in the night. She was fine the day before so it was a complete shock. They are almost 7 years old so I expected her to be with us much longer. I’ve been bringing the other...

    How to choose a new companion?

    I’m heartbroken to say that I found one of my ducks had died during the night. I had both of my girls from 3 days old and they were my first babies. Since then we have got dogs and a human baby, but I’m so so upset to have lost one of my girls so suddenly. She was fine yesterday so it was such a...

    Multiple eggs (two soft shell) from same chicken in one day!

    Hi everybody! I'm not new to BYC but in usually on the duck threads... Just came across this thread whilst trying to find an answer on the Internet... My khaki Campbell girl who is 1 and a half years old has been laying strangely for the last month or so. She is still generally laying a hard...

    Soft egg shells at 1 1/2 years

    I know there are many threads on this topic but none seem to answer my questions. Jemima is on and a half years old and is an Aylsbury. She has laid an egg a day since she first began but for the past 3 days she has laid eggs with soft/no shells. It's just the membrane holding them together...

    Mine have a child's paddling pool which I reckon is easier to keep clean than a pond would be... They love it. Sometimes treat them to our bath too

    I'm Derbyshire and take mine to Bakewell vets- they seem to know what they're doing. You need to see which vets deal with farm animals as well as standard pets

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    I only have one other duck apart from my khaki and my khaki just seems the opposite to skittish! She's completely oblivious to everything around in in comparison to the Aylsbury who just eyeballs anything that moves. And when either my husband or I try to herd them anywhere, my khaki just squats...
