    Keeping Ducks Penned

    During the day my Ducks Free Range and swim in our pond all day. In the evening I head to the pond and march them home. We are going on vacation in a few weeks and my original plan was to keep them in their pen and have someone come by to make sure they have water and food. My wife thinks...

    Thank God for Randy Ducks!!!!

    Been trying very unsuccessfully to get my two 4 month old Swedish and Cayuga Drakes to swim in my pond in my yard. This a 1/4 acre pond that is about 6 feet deep in the center. After weeks of struggling and on the verge of living with Land Ducks, the boys felt a stirring in their loins. On...

    Ducks Don't Like The Pond

    A Cayuga and Swedish duck about 9 weeks old. I have a 1/4 acre pond on my property, when I let them go in for a swim, they immediately turn around and leave the pond, preferring to stay in their kennel. Any ideas on getting them to stay in the pond and not be afraid?

    My Duck Pen

    I used a 5x7 foot Dog Kennel with a Chain Link Roof. Underneath is hardware cloth over 1 inch of gravel with a 3/4 inch rubber mat on top of that gravel, this makes it super easy to clean. Hardware cloth you can see up 24" and the Dog House where the Ducks sleep is on the outside of the pen...

    Training Ducks

    I am getting ready to release my ducks to a 1/4 acre pond in my yard. My question is how do I train them to come back when I want to put them in their pen at night? They respond to peas, peas is their crack as we know, but was wondering what some tips or techniques are to get them to respond.

    Duck Shakes, is this normal??

    I have two ducks, a Swedish and a Cayuga. The cayuga shakes a lot. It looks like he is shivering but only his legs. I thought he was cold until the other day when it was over 80 degrees. He seems healthy, he eats like crazy and is growing really fast. Is this something going on? Is he...

    Grass (Do not ducks destroy it?)

    I am in the process of building an outdoor run for the Ducks, my wife wants to know if the Ducks will tear up all the grass. If so I can build the run in a way that they use a different area each day so they do not use the same spot each day.

    Best Flooring

    OK, so I have a protected nighttime pen for the two Ducks. It is a 5x7 Chain Link Dog Kennel with a roof. Attached on the side is a dog house for the ducks to sleep in. After putting the hardware cloth on the bottom to prevent predators from digging in, I am left with the decision of what...

    Hawk Attack In Water??

    Been reading a lot on this board. I was just wondering if anyone knows if a Hawk will attack a bird in the water? I am planning on a day coop that will border my 1/2 acre pond. I would like the Ducks to swim freely, but return to their covered pen when they feel threatened. Obviously I...
