    Saving an Abandoned Duckling

    Hello everyone. Yesterday I found a duckling all alone in the lagoon peeping like crazy. I caught her after realizing that there were no ducks in sight. It right now is in a bin with a heat lamp and food and water. Also, I don't know if i should introduce it to my 2 adult Pekins or if they are...

    Now I am definitely getting the two pekins since it seems like a better fit. I would really appreciate any bonding/introducing tips.

    Ok, one more question how do I bond them together? there is a possibility I might be getting 2 pekins a little over a year or I might get the Rouens.

    Lonely duck

    I found a farm that has 8-11 week old ducklings. Would I be able to bond then to my year old duck?

    Lonely duck

    Hi I had two ducks and the one sadly passed away, now my male duck is sad and seems to be looking for his mate. I don't know where I can find adult ducks in NJ near me. When I went online all I can find are ducklings which I don't think would work in this situation, but I don't know. Are there...

    Ducks having trouble hatching

    Sadly the three that hatched died and I only have one egg left it just pipped through this morning so I am going to leave it and see if it hatches. Also how long do they normally take to hatch? the other 3 were weak so I helped them hatch which I guess is why they died because they were so weak.

    Ducks having trouble hatching

It is now snowing and hailing with a ton of wind and I'm not sure if she should stay out there with the eggs or not. Also, she was off her nest for an hour and a half. Would that...

    Duck sitting on eggs

    I have two ducks 1 male 1 female. I recently found a nest that she made with 16 eggs that I could see in it. I don't know if they are fertile or not. I went to pick one up because I thought they are probably all frozen but it was warm so I put it back. Is she going to sit on them again? Also...

    Chicks

    I am planning on getting chicks, but I have a few questions before I get them. I want eggs and I also want them to be pretty tame. I was thinking about getting a couple buff orpington. Would that be a good breed? Also could I keep them in my duck coop/cage with a run? Thanks
