Last fall I was approached by the NAT GEO WILD channel to film a slot about my pet duckies on their show "Spoiled Rotten Pets". We jumped right on it and filmed in October. they came to our house and filmed what a typical day is like for Alex and I, along with our ducks Victor and Ming Mei...

Just a short clip of my doofus ducks trying to catch goldfish through the tank wall at the local pet store. (PS they love being pushed around in a cart! )

Does anyone here have a nice clear picture of a pretty silkie chicken that I may use in a listing for Etsy? I designed a special shoe just for silkie chickens that I am selling on Etsy, but I'm afraid I don't have a chicken to take a photo of for the listing. Does anyone have one I may use...

My ducks often enjoy going out and about the city of Chicago to meet new people. To help take them places farther than my front door, I've created a special crate for my bike for them! My two duckies Victor and Ming Mei recently turned 4 years old, and as a b-day present, I made them a special...

Hi there friends! Man, it's been a long time since I've been on BYC! Since switching careers (I am now teaching), finding time for activities online has diminished, but I wanted to leave an update! My indoor house ducks Victor and Ming Mei are doing great! They just turned 4 years old over...

For all those who have been contacting me about my ducks shoes, I thought it'd be easier to just write a topic. I am the one who makes them, though I am not currently making them. I just started back to work as a teacher and have not been able to make them yet available. They will be soon, so...

As I've posted about before, my two foster ducks are in need to a new home, asap. My situation keeps changing and I need to find them a new home as soon as I can. They are no longer welcome mt my current residence (I was told that if I couldn't find them a new home that I should have them...

Since I've had a lot of people asking about Vinny and Ollie, my foster ducks, I thought I'd just go ahead and share with everyone- It can get a little tricky trying to pm everyone back Here's Vinny and Ollie- They are almost 3 years old, hatchday March 8th 2009. They are both Females and...

I know people have done it before, but I am wondering about taking ducks on an airplane? I have been fostering two ducks, Vinny and Ollie, for a long time now (almost a year) and have been working with them to get them prepared for a new home. they are now acclimated to colder temps, play in...

Wow, I haven't been on in forever! Hello everyone! Here's a mini update- Victor, Ming Mei, and I have moved back by my family just outside of chicago. Vinny and Ollie are currently staying with us until they can move to a new home, which is still a little uncertain right now. I am still...

As many of you know, I have indoor ducks. I haven't been on in a while due to personal issues. Right now, I am in a very unsafe position and need to move asap. My father has a room for me, but not for my two ducks. I've tried every friend and family member... If there is anyone in my area...

Today, after her bath, we noticed my Ollie, a blue runner, was bald all on her belly. She had been diapered today (so we handled her bottom region, I even felt the feathers there when sliding in the diaper insert) and we did not notice any balding until she was in the tub. This is Ollies first...

Hi Guys, I know the rule for stripes when it comes to Mallards v Rouens, but what do you think about this little guy? He's only got one stripe...

Our Blue runner Moxy has learn target training with a white stick and a clicker. She will point to a spot on the ground, follow the stick with her head/eyes, will walk to the stick, and jump up to get the stick. here's a VIDEO! Joe, aka Duck_Feeder is the one who has taught our Moxy (mainly...

Just as a reminder, my ducks are heavily imprinted on people, bonded to me and my fiancee and live a very spoiled comfortable life living in an indoor pen, going outside when they want to. They are super friendly with all of them like being pet, picked up, held, etc by not only us but also with...

Hi everyone, In my line of work I meet a lot of duck people and I recently met someone who saved two little babies from certain death at a local park. We are trying to figure out what kind of ducks they are. Normally I am really good at breed guessing, but I'm a bit baffled at these guys...

So we noticed over the past two weeks, all of our ducks get Soaked every time they take a bath (they are indoor pets who bathe in the tub). Since it affected all six ducks, we're trying to figure out why. this incident started around the same time we gave them Mackerel for the first time...

Victor says he's going through a blue period, since he's fattened up and can't lay eggs anymore (For those of you who don't know, Vic was born female, but had surgery to remove all girly parts, and kept the name victor)... He says he got his hair idea from a flock of seagulls...

My ducks are all currently fine, but in my line of work, I come across people with health problems I just don't have knowledge on and thought maybe BYC could help me out... A woman I spoke to had suspected blood in her duck's poop (7 month old cayuga-runner cross), and brought her to the vet...

Our poor little Norie, who suffers from lung issues, has lost her quack. Not sure if she quacked herself out, the weather is too dry, or if she's flaring up again. Not sure whether to take her to the vet or let her try to recover at home. I've put her beside out humidifier and have brought...
