    Partner died, and now I have a single Duckling...

    the mallard will warm up when the duckling is older i think. For some reason when you put ducklings with the adult ducklings they act like they're monsters and want nothing to do with them. I had a female adult buff and she had a buff male and a runner female in her "flock" i have a flock of...

    Advice about my duck from fellow owners

    Pekins get along with most other ducks, of course it depends on the personality of each duck. Cuyoga's are really sweet too, as are blue swedish. As far as integrating, ducks usually integrate fairly easily, esspecially when they're alone and lonely because they're social creatures. In your...

    A little help identifying some ducks?

    The one that you say had a yellow bib as a baby is most likely a cuyoga as well. I have several of them, the last batch that I hatched were all born with yellow bibs which disappeared as they got older..when they got their adult feathers and the beatle green the white feathers went away.
