Grass help
This is helpful thank you! Ive started draining their two pools overnight with leaving the hose in the pool and the other end down the drain which I think is going to help massively particularly in the wet months! -
Overmating
It’s difficult because we actually have them as pets in a medium-large size garden so the thought of seperating them forever is heartbreaking. But I am noticing the other females resist him more because he’s only able to mate two of them and he is starting to catch around the one females eye... -
Grass help
Hi All, this is our current set up. Before we had 2 more ducks, making 4 the garden looked like this (see photos attached) As you can see still lots of patches, particularly near the swimming pool where it gets tipped out twice weekly. Here is a photo from today (we did have heavy rainfall... -
Overmating
I always feel if I seperate him will he become more frustrated and the pounce on the females more once he’s with them? We do provide half an hour in the morning and an hour on the evening social time where they are monitored by me or my partner which helps -
Overmating

Duck poop
Hi guys, we have recently added two ducks to our flock so now we have 4 indian runners. I am very ocd and find the ammount of poo overwhelming.

Duck pecking order

Duck concerns
Yes their are a few big stones/rocks, going to remove them tomorrow because I imagine she might be scraping her beak trying to get the bugs underneath. We have a kiddie pool and they mate in their most the time. We will definitely add another female soon, hope that eases. I thought seperating... -
Duck concerns
Hi All, we have been really concerned about our female daisy this last week. She had an eye injury we think due to overmating ( we only have one drake and one duck, thinking of adding females) and her eye seemed worse the next day with more pink flesh and feathers removed. Since yesterday she... -
Beak concerns
Hi All, I have been noticing some dark spots on our ducks beak at the top. It does at times look a little sore/red. The last few days she has developed a pink scab on the bottom of her beak, any advice? -
Duck eye injury
Isaac just to check, could I do this with normal table/sea salt mixed with hot water and use a cotton pad to wipe over the cut? -

Duck eye injury
Yes so it was looking a little more pink and swolen, less feathers and then that darker patch top left just looks a little swolen, I thought maybe that part was a cut/injury? Is there anything you can do to reduce mating 😅😩 -
Duck eye injury
Hi all, I am pretty sure our daisys bad eye is due to mating. Any advice please? Could it be possible infection? here is a photo of her good eye and bad eye to compare...
