They like just hit maturity so I think they weren’t coming in because they’ve been trying to attract some girls. Now this morning though it seems like my other ducks are finally ready to me to get them
My 4 male runner ducks have refused to go to their house at night. It’s been going on for a few days now. Nothing I was doing was getting them in. We have a pond and any time I’d try to catch them they’d swim away. I’d put the boat in and they’d run out of the water. Now this morning I see only...
So I have a pack of 4 runner ducks, all boys. I live on 4.5 acres and have a pond on the property. Usually they are out during the day then would go back to their home in the evening or would come when I shake their food. Lately they WILL NOT come home. They stay in the pond or around the pond...
A big ol banana spider made its web from a tree to my duck coop. Is there any chance it can be harmful to my duck? I’m fine with him being there as long as it doesn’t bite my duck or anything.
Two drakes should get along good with no girls around? Maybe I’ll do that. I’d hate to fail moose again and dump off her “son” we got him as her mate but apparently she had motherhood on her mind when they met. She was always in front of him taking care of him.
So I posted yesterday my duck passed away. After son rescue we figured out it was from botulism. Never heard of it, never thought it was something like that. So it was totally my fault and preventable. I hate myself now and will never forgive myself for this. But now I have this other duck that...
My 4 year old runner duck passed away yesterday. My heart is completely broken. She was my first ever duck. Had her since she was a couple days old, she used to wear diapers and live inside my house with me for a couple years. I feel like this is something I could have prevented. She got sick...
So I have 2 runner ducks but want to get some chickens so I can have fresh eggs. I don’t even know where to begin. Can I raise chicks with my ducks? I have 4.5 acres with about a half acre sized pond on my property. Will the water access be an issue for them? Roughly my family eats like 7/8 eggs...
So I have 4.5 acres with a big pond. Many muscovy ducks call my property home. I recently found a nest with a couple eggs during the day. That evening I went to see which duck was nesting it and nothing was there. Now a few days later (5 days to be exact) no more eggs have been laid and no ducks...
I have a male and a female runner ducks. I would like for them to have babies but am not sure how to get it going or it’s there’s anything I can do to get them to mate... any advice?
Just excited to share that we’ve added a new member to the odd ball pack lol Bear is a black Indian runner and is getting along so well with my other runner and dog!!
