    Limping duck

    Hi all, two days ago I bought an 8 week old female duck so my other female 9 week old duck would have a friend. My first duck is very tame and of course the new one isn’t. It only took a day for them to become best friends and my first duck is ecstatic and so close up they are like magnets...

    When do I feed my ducks?

    I have two female 8 and half week old ducks. I feed them probably about 5 times a day but they only eat what they want. I lock them up in their pen at about 6:00 pm and I don’t like to feed them in their pen since it gets really messy. If they don’t have food or water from 6:00pm to about 9:00am...

    New duck friend extremely scared of me and other duck

    Thank you so much I will take that into consideration. She is already getting used to lewis. Also the owners said she is in between 6 and 8 weeks old. Is that old enough to sleep outside in a pen? The pen is completely wooden and predator proof and not much wind would pass through it? Cheers

    Duck friend or not?

    Thank you! I will be getting a friend as it will also make my life a bit easier. Yes I do not think she would act aggressive to a new duckling as she is quite timid with everything and everyone except me, if any other human goes to touch her she walks away but with me she snuggles in and wants...

    Normal or angel wing

    My month old duckling has blood feathers that drop down and don’t tuck under the wing. They don’t stick out like angel wing but they are quite long and look heavy, can I please get some help on whether it’s normal and just droopy or is it the start of angel wing? I noticed this about a week ago.

I’m pretty sure my duckling is a girl considering the wildly loud quack and honking, and if I’m going to get her a friend which I definetely am, I want another female so I don’t have a nasty drake hurting the chickens or...

    4 week old pekin duckling biting

    Yes understood. I won’t bare the thought of him being alone in his house at night. At the moment in his brooder he has a stuffed animal and a mirror. When he is in it he is pretty happy and talks to his friends at night. I will definetely not let him sleep alone when he grows up and get him a friend

    4 week old pekin duckling biting

    Also I feel terribly bad. I have barely left it’s side for the whole 4 weeks but now I have to attend work and other things and my family at home are looking after him. I have dogs, chickens that are all around him and Play with him. Is it cruel for him to have his own house without a friend?
