    Drake really rough with new female

    About 3 weeks ago, we took in 3 ducks for the winter (1 male and 2 female). I already had 2 ducks (Pecker and Daisy). They are both Pekin Ducks. We kept a baby gate up to keep the new ducks separate from our ducks until they all were able to get along. It took 2 weeks or so until they all...

    What kind of ducks are these?

    Today, I took in 3 ducks that did not have any place warm to stay for this winter. I know the white one is a Pekin because I have 2 of them now. I am not sure what the other ducks are. Thanks!!

    New Ducks...

    I am thinking about taking in 3 Pekin ducks for the winter. They are out in the cold freezing with no type of shelter. It's been getting down to below zero so I have to do something for them. I have 2 Pekin ducks right now, a male and a female. I am not sure of the sex of the other 3 that I...

    Not laying eggs

    Ever since winter, Daisy hasn't been laying eggs like she used too. Last summer she laid one egg a day. She hasn't laid a good egg in over 3 months. Last week she laid 3 eggs at one time and not in her nest or even close and they were all broken and hasn't laid since. When she laid those 3 she...

    Daisy has her wings chewed

    It's hard to see in the picture, but Daisy has been chewing on the edges and ends of her wings and has them what looks like sawed off. I don't know how to explain it really. Just wandering if this is normal or what's going on.

    Fostering a Duck

    We have a duck pond in town where someone takes care of all the ducks and its a popular place in the summer. The owner is looking for someone to take in his last duck until spring because the pond is frozen. I was wandering if I took him, how would it go? I already have a male and a female. My...

    Daisy laid her egg outside of her nest

    Daisy laid her egg outside of her nest. She doesn't sit on her eggs so I started saving her eggs for the neighbors. I've read that when she doesn't lay them in the best it's a bad egg. So does that mean you can't eat them? Or just an egg that wasn't fertile to where it would hatch? Don't want to...

    Duck has green spots beak

    My female Pekin duck Daisy has green spots on her beak. Her beak is normal color with the green spots. They are small spots and from a distance kind of look like dirt spots. That's what we thought they were until we tried to wipe them off. Any idea of what they could be? Can get a pic tomorrow...

    One of the eggs disappeared...

    On Sunday morning we noticed Daisy laid her 1st egg sometime Saturday night. Then by yesterday morning there were a total of 3 eggs. Last night she didn't lay an egg and her 1st one is gone. They were all there last night and they are locked in a secure shelter at night so nothing got in and got...

    My duck load her first egg!!!

    Daisy laid her first egg today!! This is my first time with this so I'm not sure what to do. Do I leave it be? Will she sit on it? How often during a day will she sit on it? Do I need to get an incubator? I have a male so it's more then likely fertile. He tries to get with her at least once a...

    Suggestions to keep predators away?

    We just move our ducks outside. Last night was the first night outside all night for them. Everything is still a work in progress. The whole area is fenced in. The orange fencing is temporary until we get more of the green fencing. The dog kennel is also in the fenced in area and has tin on top...
