    Cute pics of my mallard ducklings!

    I guess ducks like people have different personalities. Most fly away though if there are waters or wild mallards.

    Free Ranging

    Some people think so, but I never had a problem with it. I still think if there are a lot of people (homes) nearby, they are less likely. From my experiences, wild animals fear humans unless they have diseases. So if you see a wild animal comes closer, run...

    Flying Age?

    It depends on their weight. Some ducks can't fly, but nothing is set in stone (except a Pekin). I have seen pictures of Rouens and Runners flying.

    how hard is it REALLY to take care of ducks???

    Comparing it to drunk and driving to stating an obvious statement on how ducks are released is completely non sequitur and ridiculous. I have more than one friends who is studying in law school right now and they told me in a nice way the comparison does not make any sense. During my last...

    male ducklings

    But they can run away. If you have all males, they won't leave you.

    male ducklings

    If I can start over again, I would have just taken the males and left the females to my friend. If its all males, they won't fight or run away. If you have a pair, my goodness, good luck because they will leave you if they can fly.

    how hard is it REALLY to take care of ducks???

    Quote: No, you CAN'T! First of all, it is illegal. Second of all, the domestic mallard is not as "savy" in the wild as a truely wild mallard. You would just be feeding the local predators. Not to stir up the pot again, but here is an expert opinion under this paragraph. Personal experience...

    Cute pics of my mallard ducklings!

    Enjoy them when they last! These things fly away from you eventually when their natural instinct (very strong) develops!

    Is this a sign the female duck is laying eggs?

    We have a very large pond nearby. Should I leave them or force them to go back in the cage? I am afraid they are laying eggs and I would be leaving those eggs out cold. Is there a way to tell she is laying eggs?

    Is this a sign the female duck is laying eggs?

    Hi. I have a female 18 week Mallard hen. Until last week, she would sleep in the cage. Now, she flies away with her mate after eating. They don't come back unless it is feeding time around 6 PM (The only time I see them). They have grown extremely adverse to entering their cage (was never an...

    Wild mallards! When will they fly and be sexed?

    If they let them outside and allow them to practice flapping their wings, they could be flying in 3-3.5 month. They start with standing up and flapping their wings, then towards short bursts, and finally to migration...

    Liver Fluke

    No, it can't. At best, it can carry the eggs and the eggs coming from the poop can infect your sheep. As long as it doesn't eat poop or get it in its mouth... In reality, I don't know if the sheep is quick thinking enough not to eat poop. Your ducks can be infected with other parasites like...

    Liver Fluke

    I didn't answer your question the first time around. Your sheep still might get it if there are too many snails, but having a duck will help.

    What is the earliest age before a mallard hen can lay eggs?

    Thank you!! It helps a lot especially the Rouen. The mallards that I have were born in mid February. I was hoping the hen would lay eggs soon.
