    Duck Just Attacked--Need Advice!!

    As we just pulled in the drive I could see into the duck yard- it looked like a large bird, possibly some kind of Owl, took flight into a nearby tree. I saw Daphne, the WH flap his wings and head into the night pen. By the time we got out to the pen, Daphne was inside their actual house not...

    ?? about new behavior

    This just started today... I mist my 3 felonious drakes every day. They have a pool, but they seem to enjoy 'biting' the sprayed water and running back and forth through the mist. Anyway today after I had misted them Daphne kinda puffed all his feathers up, let out a raspy squawk, his neck...

    Need some advice on adding ducks/drakes

    I currently have 3 drakes just over a year old. They get along pretty well (except when in the pool/pond where every molester is also a moles-tee). If I dare to separate the current bully all three carry-on like I'm making Duck l'orange right in front of them. So I am thinking of adding some...

    What to do?

    I have 4 males about 10 months old. They have been together since day 1 (I got them when they were about 2 or 3 days old). Daphne (WH), Niles (KC), Doc (Runner), and Mose (Cayuga). All summer Niles picked on Daphne- it was never too bad, more like a little nip here and there. Nile also picked...

    Need Advice-Please Help!

    I have 4 males who are around 6 months- Mose, Niles, Doc, Daphne. They have been together since day 1. Their outdoor area is decent size. There is a very secure pen which is 20x20 and has their 4x4 house in it. They love that house and run into it at any chance. During the day (about 8am-8pm)...

    The 4-pack and their ill-behaved leader....

    Well my 4-pack of Drakes are nearly 5 months old now....and they are all brats (but very cute)! They are still using a kiddie pool (pond should be finished in the next few weeks), but they barely want to get in because it is the 'pool of perversion'! They swim around in a circle, each one...

    Now positive the 4-pack are all drakes...well PRETTY sure

    My 4-pack of felons is now 13 weeks old. I have been pretty sure for awhile they are all drakes. My Runner (Doc) has the most pronounced drake-feather and the KC (Niles) and Cayuga (Mose) have the curled feather, just not as pronounced as Doc. But my WH (Daphne) has all the coloring of a male...

    Any ideas on this new behavior?

    Of the 9-week old 4-pack Daphne & Niles are the most friendly AND outgoing. I am positive Daphne is male and I think Niles is also male. When I am out in their pen sitting on the garden stool and tossing them peas, all of them except Mose will eat from my hand. If I hold out my hand empty...

    Duck Feathers Everywhere!

    The 4-pack is 9 weeks old and I think they have decided to start some kind of feather pillow business. Their pen is full of feathers and so is their house! Seriously with the amount of feathers out there, one of the felons should be bald! But not a one of them is nekkid! The feathers are all...

    Still clueless & Pool-o-Rama

    Today I brought the 4-pack into the pen that has more work (and a pond) still to be done and will eventually be their permanent pen. Since I cleaned their kiddie pool last night, I brought it in that pen for today. They had no patience. They were tossing themselves in while it was still empty...

    Very quiet Runner

    So the 4-pack is peeping, whistling, and sometimes quaking along. Except Doc (Runner). When he opens that little duck bill of his it is barely even a whisper that comes out. He seems 100% fine, runs around, swims, begs for peas, forages and all that good stuff, but he really has no voice. If you...

    Questions on KC's & Welsh Harlequins

    I was looking at info on male/female Welsh Harlequins and several sites state Drakes (both silver and gold) have a green sheen on their head. Is this correct, or even usually correct? Also, does anyone have pics of their male AND female Khaki Campbells? Thanks everyone!

    Growing up....

    I'm sure I sound crazy but I just have to share the 4-packs 'awwwwww' moment. I posted last night when the brats managed to waddle into their house with barely any wrangling or tools (yes, that's right, tools ). Well tonight DH and I were out late shopping. On the way home I thought about...

    The Lake of Fire

    Our 4-pack has been outside for two weeks (maybe more or less-I have lost all sense of time in duck-world). Originally they had a temporary house because we were in the process of building '4-Pack Manor'. Their estate is now done (pics soon). Over a week ago I decided they needed a temporary...

    When will I know?

    So our 4-pack have been living in their outdoor area for 1 week. Right now they have a temp 'house' and kiddie pool. Their perm house and pond are close to being done. Anyway they are 6 weeks old and I am beginning to suspect I have ALL drakes! Niles started his quack nearly 2 weeks ago. It...

    Any Ideas??

    So our 4-pack is nearly 6 weeks old!!! Only 1 of them even comes close to quacking-the other 3 are still peeping.....or in the case of Daphne, whistling! I believe I have figured out all breeds with the exception of Daphne--I am at a complete loss whe it comes to her (or him). Any ideas...

    Growing up and New ID

    The 4-pack is 4 weeks old now. When I first brought them home I thought Niles and Doc were Khaki Campbells. Now I think Doc might be a Chocolate Runner. Tell me what you think.... This is Doc waiting for his fellow peeps. His chest area is NOT wet, those are his new sleeker feathers.. In...

    Help!...Lots of Questions

    Sorry about the old pic-I have none of the new pics loaded I brought these 4 home on March 1st and can only guess they were about 3 or 4 days old since ducklings/chicks are bought out within days at our TSC. That would make them 3 weeks old yesterday. All 4 have a lot of their feathers in...

    Update and Breed-Guess beg!

    So my little 4-pack of ducklings are 2 weeks old (give/take a day). It has been quite the learning experience but we seem to have the care of Duckapolis down to a routine... Since day 2 they have been in a large guinea pig cage measuring 47in long x 23in wide x 20in tall (the pan part is about...
