    Female Duck at the top of the pecking order?

    The picture makes it look a little lighter than what it actually is but I did notice that they did get paler than normal and it’s a sign of anemia. I feed them mazuri which was recommended by the vet. I think he was just not getting enough protein during his molt because I’ve been giving them...

    Female Duck at the top of the pecking order?

    Hi everyone, I’m posting because I’ve had my Muscovy ducks for over a year now (1 male and 1 female) and they’ve always gotten along very well. My male started to molt all of his feathers a couple weeks ago. Suddenly my female decided to attack him. Now she chases after him and he runs away from...

    What kind of duckling is this?

    It was bought. I got my first duck as a gift 4 weeks ago but wasn’t able to find a store that had any near me until today. Wanted to get another to keep the first one company.

    What kind of duckling is this?

    Just wondering if anyone knows what breed this is. Also, any tips on how to stop my other 4 week old duckling from pecking and snapping at it? Should I just wait until they get older to let them near each other? The one pictured is only a few days old

    I’m worried about my new duckling

    Good morning, so I received a new duckling not sure how old it is or the breed. Last night it was running around and seemed fine then all of a sudden it just stopped and looked like it frozen. It wouldn’t move or eat or drink. It also looked like it was leaning to one side and back. It also had...
