    soft-shelled duck eggs

    That's good to know then. Hers are usually a light mint greenish color & this one was more tannish with a hint of green. The soft shells were tan colored too. The inside looks normal though. My husband eats them, only reason I know about the insides. Seems weird for me to eat them, cuz Lloyd is...

    The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

    I have found my female mallard likes to eat the crumbs out of the dog food bowl, loves collard greens, kale, turnip greens, live super worms, live meal worms, & live crickets. She also, tends to pick up small snails/slugs & eats those when she's outside. Fortunately there's no pesticides in my...

    soft-shelled duck eggs

    Super excited that Lloyd is doing better. Little curious why her egg wasn't the same color as the past ones. Is that bad?

    soft-shelled duck eggs

    So, Lloyd actually laid an egg today. A regular egg. Not a greenish pigment as the others, but not soft or white either. Yay! So glad she's not blocked up.

    soft-shelled duck eggs

    She hasn't been acting strange or anything, just her normal self. Wants to be with me constantly or in the bathtub. She has pretty much free roam around the house during the day. She's my baby & I just want to make sure she's okay. I'd be devastated if something happened to her. I did add some...

    soft-shelled duck eggs

    So, yesterday & today my girl hasn't laid anything. No soft shells, no regular, no nothing. I hear her in the morning scratching, making up her nest area, but then nothing? I've searched thru the bedding & even the water bowl & she's not laid at all. I don't get it, she laid a good egg every day...

    soft-shelled duck eggs

    I have a mallard female who just started laying eggs a few weeks ago. All were normal looking eggs & I found one every day in her cage. The past few days, I've found soft shelled eggs in her water bowl or on the ground. She seems more worried about spending time with me, than her eggs. She's my...

    Do mallard ducks lay eggs everyday and can you eat the eggs?

    My little pet mallard Llyod laid her first egg today. I didn't know what to do, so I took it out & put in refrigerator. Was quite the shock when I fed & changed water today & saw it laying in the floor of her cage. To be clear, She's a house duck & the only duck I have. I've raised her from a...

    Show off your house ducks!

    Thank you. He's my buddy & I absolutely love him. I'm kinda figuring out now, that he probably is a girl. Dunno what to call him now, he's been a boy the whole time I've had him & he comes to Lloyd. Might just have a girl named Lloyd.

    Show off your house ducks!

    I hear ya. I'm constantly cleaning up poop from my duck. I tried buying him a diaper off Amazon, but putting it on him is a different story. I have no idea how to get it on & he's not exactly eager to have it on either.

    RavynFallen I did listen to the duck calls again & yes Lloyd sounds like a girl. Makes the same noises as the hens in the thing u sent me, but also makes same sounds as the males too. Is it possible to have a females make noises like the males too? Lloyd is pretty verbal, all sounds loud & quiet...

    New Mallard Mom.

    The only time he really gets loud is if he's lost me & can't see me. The rest the time it's just peeps & chatter noises. And kinda chicken sounding too @ times. He's kinda onry & gets snippy. He chases my cat & small dogs. They know to run from him though & get where he can't reach them. From...

    Show off your house ducks!

    This is my Mallard Lloyd. Although he may actually be a she. I dunno yet. He's the best pet & I love him to pieces. I got him about 2 months ago, when he was just a duckling & he's my only duck. He keeps me laughing & he is so full of curiosity. He's pretty much in the house most the time, but I...

    New Mallard Mom.

    I don't really know which one it is, to be honest, cuz he makes both sounds & even sounds like a goose sometimes. He might actually be older than 8 wks, cuz I've had him for 2 months & I picked one of the larger ducklings out of all of them. I got him a week before Easter. I'm going to love him...
