    Duck sitting on chicken eggs

    A friend of mine has a duckwho went broody. None of the eggs are fertile. They dont have a drake. She switched the eggs out for a chiken egg. Will her duck raise the chick or does she need to hand raise the chicks?

    Muscovy Drake

    I was given three Muscovy ducks today. I must say I am in awe. They are unlike any duck I have had. They have been well taken care of. The ladies are very sweet and tame. The drake tho, is just magnificent. His behavior is very intimidating tho. He seems to be very very grumpy, wagging his tail...

    Ducks have began to mate...EXCEPT

    My 3 month old Pekins have begun to mate! Except...what I thought was the drake is the one being mated upon. If this is indeed the case, I have one hen and two drakes. I thought I had two hens and a drake. The "drake" had the mature voice and matured faster. The other two have the raspy hen...

    11 weeks and limping

    One of my 11 week old Pekins is limping pretty badly. I did not witness anything buy I can almost guarantee it happened by fending off our crazy 1yr old adult Moe. Thinking I should leave the babies in their pen for the day so she can rest it? How can I help alleviate her pain?

    2 Feed/Snack Questions

    Had to temporarily change my 5 Pekin ducks' feed. I have two adults approx 2 years old and 3 babies 9 weeks old. I changed to cracked corn. I know it doesn't give them their protein needs but hoping they can make some of this up dabbling all day. Should I supplement more and with what? Remember...

    Duck landscaping

    I've gotten my plan almost worked out for their enclosure. I have potted catnip plants I'd like to plant in ground. I know catnip spreads like crazy so I was thinking I would like to plant it around the inside of the fence. But first.. is catnip toxic to ducks? I cannot find any clear information.

Many saud to use the exact amount the recipe calls for so I used 2 duck eggs and 2 brown chicken eggs. It didn't turn out! What is your opinion of equivalence when it comes to duck...

    Funny story

    A week ago the babies were out in their pen. I coaxed my two adults who free range up to see them as they will all be together but separate soon enough. Moe was right up to the fence trying to get to them. Gracie could care less and just stood there. After a few minutes of Moe being very...
