    New at raising ducks and have questions!

    Added: Ducklings, especially very young ones, have a tendency to drown pretty easily without mommy duck around. A natural oil produced by adult ducks keeps the ducks buoyant, ducklings don't have this yet. In nature, the ducklings receive this oil through contact with mom's feathers. With no...

    ...dumped the rest into the grass. A little hose down washed it and filled it up again. 5) I fed my ducklings a starter feed with added Niacin via *Brewer's Yeast* This is vital, and I cannot stress the yeast enough so I will type it out again: Add Brewer's Yeast to the feed at a rate of 2 TBSP...

    You must be Kidney-ing Me!

    Thank you so much! I am unable to keep my ducks as their fecal matter contains fungus and bacteria and other nasty things that could and probably will give me an infection, disease, etc that would risk not only the kidney but also my own life due to my immunosuppression. It’s a bit different...

    You Must be Kidney-ing me!

    Hey guys! welp, it happened! I got my kidney transplant! Fortunately I was able to get my coworker and friend to take my four ducks while I recovered. I found out that I would NOT be able to take the ducks back at all post transplant, so they’re living on 10 acres here in Southern California...

    You must be Kidney-ing Me!

    Exactly how I feel! I received an anonymous cadaver kidney..! I have this deep desire in me to do right by them since they passed way too early at 30. I don’t know how long this desire will move in me, but until then I’m getting people registered!

    What is Duckduck doing?

    I’m inclined to agree.

    Breed?

    Male ducks require a pretty hefty sex ratio, about 3-4 females per one male duck. If you have too many males and not enough females, they WILL over mate and injure your females. The females won’t be too happy either.
