My Drake will be alone this week...
I knew what the answer was gonna be... I can’t get anymore Ducks until the Spring and I know that’s too long. My heart breaks to let him go. I will make a last ditch attempt to re-home him tonight. I’m in PA, the Lehigh Valley❤️Thanks -
My Drake will be alone this week...
Hello, I have a female and a male. The female hasn’t been well for sometime and I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to make that heartbreaking decision. I know having only one will not be good. I was gonna get rid of him because of that. But I had a thought tonight...would he... -
Flystrike
I am so sorry. My heart is breaking and I can’t stop my tears. I just experienced this with my girl Fredrika. I had the Vet put her down yesterday. I have no words for what I saw and how quickly it happened. I can’t get it out of my mind. I honestly think I’m in shock. I have never seen anything...- stuka123

What the freak is this Egg? (Graphic Photos)
Hello, My 3 year old girl hasn’t been laying properly for quite awhile. Then all of a sudden she had a few beautiful eggs and then stopped again. Today I found a soft shelled thing and it’s crazy creepy looking. I’ve had weird eggs before and I know it can happen, but this one is freaking me... -
Clueless Laying Issue
Hello, I have a 2 1/2 years old female. She was a great layer until this summer. I only got an egg once in awhile. Then I noticed she had a prolapsed vent. I was able to get it back in and it hasn’t come back out in the last month. However she had a small lump when I felt her. I gave her a... -
Duck Leg Problem
If it’s not something I can help him with, than Yes I will take him to the vet. My husband may have a fit about it, but I don’t want him in any pain. I will override my husbands decision if it’s more than just a sprain. I wanted to get thoughts about the severity of it. -
Duck Leg Problem
So my 2 year old Drake has always had a limp off and on since he was born. But now he’s not doing so well. He recently had a prolapsed Penis which I proudly resolved, but he still has a bad leg. He seems to know not to come down the ramp of His house with the other two girls and stays on his... -
How much calcium to give egg bound duck?
I’ve gone through this with one of my girls. I got liquid calcium from a bird store and gave her a huge dose at night and by the morning she finally passed it. -
Duck keeps laying down
Definitely check to make sure you don’t feel an egg. More towards the back under her vent. I’ve gone through this with a few of mine and those were the first signs. -

Missing Duck Mystery
I just lost one of my 6 month old Buff girls to an Eagle. I came home and figured I’d get them a snack before going out. Well a few minutes later I heard pecking at my back door. It was one of the babies. I let her in to say Hi but she seemed upset. I thought it was odd that she came down to the... -

Easiest duck diaper EVER!
Oh yes, I do apologize for that insensitive comment. I shouldn’t have called you “normal”. Anyone who is crazy enough to make diapers for a duck is NOT normal. I think we belong to a very special group of the INSANELY IN LOVE WITH OUR DUCKS GROUP❤️ And we would do anything for them and to us it... -
Easiest duck diaper EVER!
Oh boy I need to do this!!! I love when normal people come up with Genius ideas!!! -
Pekin Question
I had 6 Pekins and I put some non toxic sharpie colored markers on the tips of their tails, it worked like a charm. If you’re worried about sharpies then use some gel food color on the tips of their tails. You need to reapply every so often but it works great. -
My baby got Duck raped
Yes! I told my husband that the divider will never keep him out but he said they’re fine. Sometimes I’m over protective so I listened to him. ONCE AGAIN I was right. Thank you. -
