Thanks! The female he’s attacking is my favorite so I don’t think I could ever accept re-homing her. I’ll keep him separated as much as possible for now. I’m hoping it is just seasonal.

She definitely tries to avoid him and runs away. This results in him clinging on and feathers being pulled out. He mates with the others too who are more willing, both inside and outside the pool. She’s definitely scared of him and is able to outrun him, but sometimes he is quick to jump on her...

That’s a good idea! Thanks!

Thanks! Funny thing is we thought he was a female when we got him so it came as a surprise later on. We have chickens too, but he started attacking the chickens first. Now we have a coop for the chickens and a coop for the ducks. They all free range throughout the day in separate areas of the...

Thank you! I tried this and that’s exactly what’s been happening. I start to feel bad for having him in a crate, reintroduce him after her feathers grow back, then it happens all over again.

Hey all! We have one drake and three females. He is very aggressive when trying to mate with the same duck. He pulls her feathers out to the point of exposed raw skin and bleeding skin. I crate him separately at night but I’m at my wits end and thinking of re-homing him. Anything else I can do...

Advice appreciated! My chicken seemed fine then suddenly I noticed today her crop and under her vent were bulging. Either I didn’t notice anything sooner or it came on suddenly. It looks like her feathers are missing or just spread out a bit from the bulging, she has green/yellow diarrhea and...

Wow thank you! I had myself worried and now I’m thinking our female duck is actually a male 😂 I read more about it and it all makes sense now. “She” also has a curled tail so I’m certain we were sent a male when we ordered a female. Thanks for your insight!

Hi! I’m a first time duck owner with a 5 month old crested white peckin. She’s been in great health, eating well, acting normal, etc. She recently started doing this wheezing/backwards sneezing (not sure what it is or why she’s doing it) for the past 1-2 weeks and I’m not sure whether to be...
