    Help, Phil died

    This morning when my stepdad got home from work at 6:30 am he went to check on the ducks and they were all fine, doing their thing. But when I got up at 11 and went to check on them, only the three ducklings were sitting on the porch, which is weird because Phil (10 weeks old) never leaves their...

    Weird behavior

    Phil is acting really lethargic as of late, she was inside and I figured she was cold. Well I brought her outside so she could warm up. She's been out a while and is still acting weird. I also noticed her breast is swollen and there's a slight divot, I'll post a picture. Any ideas what could be...

    Still chirping?

    Phil is five weeks old now and still chirping? But he only does it around me..... I'm also pretty convinced he's actually a she because she quacks/honks. Is the chirping thing normal? My step dad jokingly said he was just acting like a momma's duck.

    Too big for his britches

    Phil keeps trying to pick fights with the dogs and cat. He really thinks he's tough but the other animals could easily kill him. What do I do to keep Phil from biting the others?

    Sexing a duck

    Phil is 3 weeks old now, not quite quacking but trying to. Are there any distinct characteristics of ducks and drakes? Maybe head bobbing when they walk? He/she's pretty territorial when it comes to his/her pool and the dogs. He also keeps jumping out of his tub.

    I think Phil's feathers are coming in. Is there anything I need to do for him?

    Toys?

    I feel like Phil gets bored during the day and I don't want him getting depressed or anything so how do I keep him entertained? He can't spend all day outside (predators). Do dog toys work for ducks? Maybe other bird toys?

    Weird behavior

    I can't tell if Phil's behavior is indicating that something is wrong. He's breathing kind of weird, but I don't know if he's always done it and I'm just now noticing it. He's not panting. It's just kind of like, sighing? He's also just kind of laying there, not really doing much. And he keeps...

    Potty training

    I know that ducks don't have a voluntary anal sphincter so they can't hold in their poop; but, I was wondering if there's a way to teach my duck where to poop.

    Playing with Phil

    How do I play with my duckling? He has SO much energy right now, we already swam for an hour, he napped, now he's pecking at EVERYTHING. Is there anyway I can entertain him indoors?

    Koi and duck

    I'm going to build a small pond on my back yard for my duckling Phil, the pond will have a pump and filter etc. (I will be keeping it as clean as possible, ducks are pretty messy). It's just one duck though, so I was wondering if I could add a koi fish or two. I know ducks enjoy koi food too so...

    Problem with loneliness

    I got a four day old duck yesterday and I'll have to admit it was an impulse buy. I had my mom convinced yesterday and everything was fine and dandy with our new duck. We got him a great house, everything he needs to be happy, but he's not. I read late last night (I was up with him until three...

    Introducing a duckling to dogs and a cat

    How would I go about introducing my new duckling, Phil, to my chihuahuas and my cat? It would break my heart if Phil got hurt so I want them to all be used to each other and just get along!
