    Combining pairs

    I have a pair of back east indies, can I put them in the run with my other pair of larger ducks? I have a Rouen drake and female Ancona, so they are significantly larger than the east indies

    Thank you, that's what I was thinking too but wasn't sure because they have such different tail feathers

    Duck eggs

    Our duck was sitting on eggs and gave up on them a little over a week ago but wouldn't let us in the duck house to remove them so we let them be, one hatched at some point today because we found a dead ducking in the run. What do I do with the rest of the eggs? Will they hatch even though she...

    Can ducks really change gender?

    Ancona duck laying on eggs

    Thank you! I'm not sure if she is leaving the nesting box or not but she hisses at us when we peek in to check on her. Would the ducklings need to be placed in a brooder with a heat lamp?

    Ancona duck laying on eggs

    My 1 year old Ancona is laying on a clutch of eggs, I am new to this so just wondering how to care for her? Do I leave her be or try to give her food and water in the nesting box, and if she hatches her ducklings what is the next step? Do I leave them with her and dad or remove her and/or babies...

    Chickens bullying duck

    He is in the pen with her now but hes used to going in the coop at night and he freaks out pacing and quacking when the chickens go in for the night and hes left out in the run. I was thinking about putting a small coop or doghouse in the pen for the ducks?

    Chickens bullying duck

    We had to separate our pekin when he had a niacin deficiency and when we put them back together they pecked at each other but they didn't all hang up on him like they are doing to her. I guess I just need to give them more time. Our rouen goes in the coop with the chickens at night so shes all...

    Chickens bullying duck

    We put her in a pen inside the run and shes been there for a few days, I just tried introducing them without a fence in between today and it didn't go well at all.
