Mean Ducks?
Can anyone PLEASE tell me why my two Indian Runner boys - a year old at the end of March - have suddenly become mean?? In the past week and a half, they suddenly have started attacking me or anyone else who enters their pond area. My one guy who used to be such a momma's boy is the biggest... -
Flying the Coop! Nighttime Rituals?
Well, Cheese and Quackers are finally old enough - and by far big enough! - to move outside. Mommy is feeling quite a lot of Empty Nest sadness, but I know they're going to be so happy out there :) New question: Do they need food and water at night? Or can we prolong the cleanliness of their... -
Runner Duckling Quacks
Hello all! My two Runner boys (as sexed by the breeder before I got them) are a month old now. At about one week, Quackers started quacking a little bit!

I'd been doing it in their water but I change that water so often I decided to try it in their food, as the packaging also suggests. I'm just wondering if anyone has done it this way, or if anyone has a... -
Too old for momma?
My ducklings love to cuddle, which has been an amazing unexpected bonus to their arrival! I was just wondering - is this something that they will always do? Or do they grow out of it, just like adult babies? :) -
Sitting Duck?
Hi there! I'm new to the community as well as a proud new duck momma! My Indian Runner ducklings are about a week and a half now. One of them, the larger one (he's growing so fast!) sits funny sometimes. He'll sit back on his hindquarters - his butt - and just let his little legs sit out in...
