    No Waste Duck Feeder...Does it exist?

    This is from an old forum, but I made this feeder. SO EASY to make, and the ducks use it and no waste!

    Mags-hole - I think I need to rehome

    Hey friends! We have a Magpie Drake (named Mags) that has become quite the bully. He and the Pekin run around together, and have, um, relations, often. They are definitely bonded. I rescued a newer duck, and he is awful to her. We have to keep them separated all the time. She doesn't...

    What the Duck?

    He's not mean to me or my husband. He knows better, and we're not scared of him. My poor dogs though, he's got it out for them. It cracks me up. He's always chasing after my elderly beagle, and then he'll go up and chest bump the boxer. The boxer doesn't care, but it's funny to watch this...

    What the Duck?

    You're right, it IS like a game! It's fun to guess. When we had that Rouen it was even more fun, because we thought it was a girl, and then magically one day it had a white collar and a beautiful green head. Sparkles' pin feathers are starting to come in, so it's just a matter of time now...

    What the Duck?

    Got a new baby! Someone had given it to a lady as a gift for her 4 small children, and the lady decided it needed a new home. Lucky me! It's used to being around people and has imprinted on all of us. Its name is Sparkles, and we just adore her (or him). She's too little to be outside with...

    Doves and ping pong balls

    I have 6 white doves, 2 of whom are nesting females. We actually started out with 3 doves, and then Feather Mills had babies with Mark Wahlbird... and here we are with 6 birds, and we don't want any more. We tried little bitty wooden eggs to see if it would keep them from laying eggs every 2...

    The Quacking!

    The mirror was placed last night. So far she's disinterested. Poop. One of the little duck babies died over night. I figured it might die the day after I got it...she just seemed off. Now I have two squawking ducks looking for their friends. This plan backfired!

    The Quacking!

    I bet I can find one. Good thinking! That's much less weird. Ha! Thank you!

    Duck Videos Thread!

    Narcoleptic Duckling Phoebe meets the ducklings. The little skitter underneath her, and the jump cracks me up every time

    The Quacking!

    We had 2 ducks until last week. At one point there were 3, and one got killed. The two left were about 5 months old, females. The little black duck, Quackie O, fell ill and passed away last week. Quackie O kept Phoebe (the Pekin) in line with her loud quacks. Phoebe who was already kind of a...

    Can ducks eat minnows?

    We gave our ducks minnows a few times. The result was fishy tasting eggs!! Great to watch, but beware of super smelly poop and super smelly eggs.
