    Duck bullying

    I put Dave in the coop where he can see them through that, but as soon as he gets let out he goes straight for them.

    Duck bullying

    I am having a huge problem trying to introduce my new ducks to my existing duck. As backstory, I had two drakes- Bingo and Dave. Dave likes to chase our other duck and even our dogs to (I guess) show his dominance. The only duck he didn’t bother was Bingo. Bingo passed away this year, so I...

    Duck Breed Questions

    Hopefully your babies come in safe and sound! I was so anxious the entire time. I was worried mine would be DOA coming all the way from California to TN.

    Duck Breed Questions

    Well after just 30 hours in transit, they are finally here! They seem very healthy and we are super excited. I’ve never been so happy to hear peeping when I went to the post office!

    Just One Duck?

    I have found myself in the same situation. I had to say goodbye to my drake last week and I still have his “brother”. Luckily, my other duck has bonded with my dog. He follows her around everywhere. I am getting some new little ones shipped in to hopefully be his new friends in a few weeks when...

    Duck Breed Questions

    I’m already super nervous. When I track them it says they should be here Thursday. I’m afraid they won’t survive that long since they shipped out last night.

    Duck Breed Questions

    Well I checked my local feed stores and surprisingly none of them had ducks or even chickens in yet. So I went ahead and ordered me a couple of welsh harlequins from metzer farms. They are supposed to ship out Monday. I’m super worried that they won’t make it here alive. I’ve read there have...

    HELP OVERMATING???

    I would separate them until you can get more females. Maybe with a barrier where they can still see each other. I had the same ratio as you do, and it didn’t end well. My drake WAY oversexed my female. She was having some kind of issue one day(I believe egg bound) where she couldn’t get up and...

    Duck Breed Questions

    Thank you! That kind of opens my option a Rouen a little bit more. Around here they are easier to find than other breeds.

    Duck Breed Questions

    My cayuga is about the same. Sometimes when I let him out of the coop he will fly down the hill in the backyard to get to his pool. It’s pretty cute! Of course my pekin would flap like crazy and never get anywhere

    Duck Breed Questions

    I have wanted rouens for a while now, I just assumed they would be heavy like him. I need them somewhat heavy though so they don’t fly away. I bought a duck a long time ago that I thought was a Rouen, he turned out to be a mallard and flew away within 5 minutes of bringing him home. I need...

    Duck Breed Questions

    Thank you! I think I will check locally first to see what is out there and then go with shipping some in if needed!

    Duck Breed Questions

    I like the idea of getting exactly what I want if I went with a place that ships them. I’ve just never done that before, so it’s new to me. Does the post office deliver them or would I need to pick them up once they get to my local post office? I’m terrified if I order online they may not be in...

    Duck Breed Questions

    I do have a local tractor supply. I thought about looking there first to see what they had, because I would rather buy local instead of shipping. I do like the idea of having sexed ducklings though which my local tractor supply doesn’t do.

    Duck Breed Questions

    I actually just looked at them, I only want to get 2 more ducklings to add to my existing duck. The price isn’t terribly bad, I’m just worried about having them shipped out. I’m all the way in Tennessee. Do you think they would make it here safely?

    Duck Breed Questions

    Thank you! Follow up question: where does everyone get their ducks from? Our local feed store has some, but they are typically pekins. Is there a good hatchery to order from?

    Duck Breed Questions

    I recently had to say goodbye to my Pekin drake. I am thinking about getting some new babies this spring, but I have questions about different breeds of ducks. My pekin was only 3 years old and he had leg problems most of his life which I managed to keep at bay, but his legs just ended up giving...

    Advice for injured duck

    Unfortunately, I’m not gonna be able to upload a video. I’ve checked his feet and don’t see any sign of bumblefoot, and I don’t believe it is poisoning because my other duck does everything bingo does and he is perfectly fine. My gut says it may be because he is so large. I just feel like I have...
