My drake recently passed away and he was great at fighting away the other male mallards that flew into our yard. I now have two female mallards and 2 female runner ducks. Even though its only fall I'm still worried about what I should do to protect my ducks from aggressive drakes. Should I get...
My drake who has has nerve damage for 6 months has recently been opening his mouth and bobbing his neck up to 2 hours after eating and drinking. Sometimes he even makes a gargling noise. He also shakes his head a lot. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
So one of my mallards had 12 babies and we let 11 of them go but kept one of the males because our runner ducks had befriended him plus my other drake is crippled and we wanted another male to protect our 4 females. I didn't bother to clip his wings because I never considered him to be one of...
I resently got 2 baby black runner ducks one of them already died suddenly and the other one is only pooping small amounts of liquid and has a hard stomach. Can't afford vet and need help !

My duck recently had 15 ducks and so far 2 of them have died. One was born with a broken beak and was not fully developed and the other just suddenly became paralyzed and died an hour later(I really don't know what happened). The 2nd ducking was fine but I found it on the ground about 10 minutes...
One of my ducks just had ducklings and the drake is being great and is really gentle with the babies. But my 3rd duck who is on and off nesting keeps going after them. They don't even come up to her, she just chases and hurts them. This is the first time my ducks have had babies and any advice...
So, I have 3 mallard ducks and 2 of the females have been nesting (one of the females eggs just hatched) and they both seem REALY thin. Like under a pound and I can feel there bones. My drake seems to be a normal weight though. Is it normal for nesting ducks to be really thin? Also the one that...
My duck just had babies and one of them has a badly cracked beak. The top is "ok" but the bottom looks like it's hanging by a thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
