I have someone that wants to sell me a pekin duck but all his has black on the base of their bills and they are housed with all kinds of other ducks. He said all his ducklings were female when I said I wanted a female. He had 12 ducklings so that does not sound right. What do you think about...
MY duck started a high pitched squeak after she had some issues with opening her mouth and sort of coughing 3 days ago and I brought her in and watched her and the open mouth breathing went away but now she has this high pitched squeak for the past few days. Should I try to buy some antibiotics...
PLEASE someone tell me what this is? It has a broken wing and is at the community College with HER BABY and I need to know if it is a domestic duck or what? I am so worried someone dumped these animals at the pond that has 4 bog turtles that usually get the Mallards babies so I am worried. The...
My little Winnie that I hatched and knows me as her human Mom has been sitting on 12 eggs for the past 29 days. This morning I found a underdeveloped hairy egg she left by the door which she had to have held in her mouth and flew out of her box on my back porch where her nest is and left me...
Winnie had her brother and Mother killed and few months ago then she started laying eggs approximately 12 and has been sitting on them for 3wks now and I wonder how long will she sit on them before she gives up?. I put a stuffed animal in the box with her and she comes in every day to see me...
My Pekin duck has not went into the pool in 4 days. Usually when I change the water they go crazy and take a great bath but she didn't even do that. It snowed the last 2 days and she went out with the other duck and lays by the pool for awhile then goes back inside to eat and repeat until dusk...
I am missing my beloved Roxy a Pekin mallard mix that I hatched myself and he is like my baby so I am heartbroken that he is missing. Something also bit my pekin duck,..the bio mom and my other duck was unharmed. I have seen a fox now and again but he seemed small and ran when I yelled at him...
My drake is 18 mths old and he is half Pekin and half Mallard. He is starting to mount the other 2 females and he also started this dip of his head followed by a half second very high pitched squeal. He does this at all different times, when alone, in the pool, with the others, while grooming...
I just ordered a pond de-icer from Amazon since the ducks little pool was frozen over this morning and they were pretty confused all day so I ordered a 250 watt for their kitty pool because they said it was safe for a plastic pond and the wattage matched the chart for gallons and region 《kansas)...
My drake is 4mths old and I saw him try to mount his Mom(pekin) and she has been laying eggs for about 1mth but no bulls eye on the eggs. My question is how old is old enough for my drake to be fertile and how soon after seeing mating behavior would I have fertile eggs? My drake is the pekins...
I have 3 ducks and wondered how often I should change the pool water? I have been doing it weekly, it makes such a mess but they love it when I change the water, the mud puddles left and the fresh water.
