Pullet or roo?
Hello! My bird in question is about 12/14 weeks old. We bought several straight run and so far all are Roos :(. The jury is out on this one. He/she is very assertive, and loud but not crowing. I was told it was an Aurucana buy I don't think it really looks like one. I'd love a consensus as to...- VTRN

Help! Missing Muscovy!
No :( She isn't hanging around as close to my neighbors as she was before, but they have still spotted her twice since the other day. We'll keep trying though! -
Help! Missing Muscovy!
Just a quick update- after 4 days and no trace of her, I had given up that she would return. Well, this afternoon we got a call from a neighbor down the road that a pretty little duck was perched on their porch railing! We went over and she had flown up in the tree, where she remained as of... -
Help! Missing Muscovy!
Last evening, we were offered 2 moscovy ducks. My husband could only catch one, so we brought her home with plans to get the second one today. We put her in the coop last night in a separated area and by morning, she had gotten out of that area, but was nicely interacting with the other birds. I... -

Zombified: Adorable! My welshie's look to be the same age as yours. They seem to change every day! So much fun to watch! -
Post your Duck names!
Our 2 runners are named Cheese and Quackers, 2 welsh harlequin females named Zelda and Figgs and a welsh harlequin drake named Luke Skywalker. Our two sons had a heavy influence on all the names :) -
Duck pallet coop ideas and dimensions?

Duck pallet coop ideas and dimensions?
My husband and I have made a couple of duck houses completely for free using scrap wood found on freecycle, from friends, etc. with the exception of buying the hardware for the doors. Here is a pic of our current duck house in progress- we got free pallets, scrap pieces of plastic sheeting and... -
Welsh Harlequin
Thanks for the replies! The two babies with the lighter bills have yellowish heads and the one who I hope is a male has a black bill and very dark head so hopefully I have the ratio I wanted! They are just the sweetest little ducklings! -
Welsh Harlequin
Hello all! I got these adorable welsh harlequin babies yesterday and was hoping to pick out 2 females and one male. All of the ducklings with the lighter bills had a black stripe down the middle. Any guesses on if they are females? They were born yesterday in the early morning. -
Help! Injured duck!
Thanks so much for your reply. Our duckling, Sleepy, is still hanging in there. I took the gauze off so his wounds are now open to air. He just had another swim in the kiddie pool but was not very energetic at all :( He is eating and drinking though, just very docile, which is out of character... -
Help! Injured duck!
I am a long time lurker on this forum and this is the first time I have posted. I apologize if this is long winded but I need some advice! I have 4 five week old pekin ducks. They have lived mostly in the basement with outside time every day. They have free ranged with our chickens daily with no...
