Mallard limping
I have 5 females, but she is the smallest. Twice a day was kinda what I was thinking too. Thank you for the response. -

Mallard limping
So these are her feet. I’ve gotten poultry aid, gauze, vet tape and neosporine. I’ve cleaned it and bandaged it. How often should I change the bandage? I am also keeping her in her house all day. Does this sound ok? -

Mallard limping
I have 4 drakes. I’ve been trying to keep them separated, but they keep getting to them I guess by flying over 3ft fence dividing them. I’ve started to keep boys locked up in their house/run for a few days -

Mallard limping
So my mallard female started limping. I’ve picked her up and felt legs, looked at feet and don’t notice anything. She is my smallest female and I think maybe one of the drakes may have accidentally hurt her, they are Pekins. I will try to post a video of her limping and photos of her feet. It... -

Should I be concerned?
She is a duck, but will still check. Can ducks go broody without eggs too? -

Should I be concerned?
I have 5 hens, 2 have recently started laying. My mallard who is the oldest hen is acting broody. I know mallards hide their eggs but I have searched and searched and can’t find any. And to my knowledge she hasn’t started laying again since she stopped in the fall. Can she go broody over another... -

Mallard hen question
I have two other hens laying. I know it’s not Gigi because her eggs are blue and these are white. So do you think she’s got some hidden somewhere ? -

Mallard hen question
I don’t mean to be stupid, but even if she hasn’t laid any eggs? -

Mallard hen question
My Mallard hen, Gigi will lower her head and walk chattering at me when I go outside. It doesn't seem aggressive. Does she see me as a vending machine? Lol. Also, she has been wandering off like she is nesting, but I have checked everywhere and can’t find any nests anywhere! -

Duck eggs!
I am excited because one of the ducks I took in started to lay eggs. She has a severe limp and seemed like a bit of an outcast at first, but now is laying and drakes are giving her attention. There are 5 girls in the house with her and I am getting 2 eggs a day. So are two ducks laying in the... -

Duck passed away
Do you think she could’ve accidentally in jested some metal and got lead poisoning? I recently took on a duck who was acting like yours and the vet said she had lead poisoning. She died while at the vet. I’m so sorry for your loss.- Robbie3

Separating ducks year round?
Ok I have 9 ducks. I have one that is handicapped, her leg is turned in slightly. Anyway, two of the drakes seemed to pick at her, so I separated males from females. She has integrated well with the females and they all go near the fence where the males are and sit all day. Males stay next to... -

So frustrated
I have 9 ducks. My original 3 will eat peas and won’t eat any of the stuff you have listed either. None of the others will touch any of it. I do catch them nibbling on rosemary though. -

Ordered female ducklings realized I got a couple males
So I’m curious, I purchased 5 ducklings online from a hatchery. That was in August. Assuming they are all females, I didn’t pay much attention to their appearances. Recently, I noticed on my two blue swedish ducks a little green dot on its head, like what a mallard would have. I got to looking...
