After we had a devastating mink attack, my husband built the super Max duck pen. Completely surrounded with galvanized hardware cloth. I think it might be corroding. Paralysis, weakness and bright green diarrhea. We thought they'd gotten into something else, so we locked them up in the pen, than...
I posted a week ago thinking my duck had lead poisoning, turns out, I think it's zinc. I lost two, now I have one more recovering. She is improving, but not eating. I give her peas when I put her in the bathtub, but she doesn't eat much. Any suggestions on food that a duck cannot refuse?

Oops. I was wondering. I know boys will pick in other boys, but I have male calls, and the runners leave them alone. Huh, the calls must be the cool kids. No wonder no eggs 😂

Hi all! Just ordered 12 female runner ducklings. The most I've ever done is 6. We have a chicken coop that we were thinking about using with a space heater with a thermostat, but then there's the scorching daytime temps. It has a18" x 36 inch opening covered hardware cloth. I don't know what to...
Yes, hate to keep them locked up on such a beautiful spring day. He was one of my favorites. Offspring of a blue and fawn. White with lights gray spots
