    How long until duck can free range?

    Alright, so, long story short (haha just kidding this is a long post) I've got 3 ducks right now, and I'm in a situation I have not encountered before. Two of them, a call drake and a wild muscovy hen, have both been with me since they were young, are incredibly tame, and well trained (they...

    What color is this duck?

    I picked this guy up at an auction for 6 bucks today, he's an absolutely beautiful fellow and very friendly to boot, so I'm very happy :) However, I was wondering exactly what color he is. If I had to guess snowy/harlequin with some sort of dilution gene, but I'm certain there are people here...

    Does this look like the start of angelwing?

    So my Muscovy here is 7 weeks old and her flights have started growing in big time the past couple days, and now her wings are a little floppy. Does this look like the starts of angelwing to you guys, or just her wings not used to the weight of the new feathers yet?

    Duckling kicking leg back while walking

    Hey everyone, I have a 3 week old muscovy duckling who is kicking one of her legs back when she walks. I just noticed this tonight. Her mobility is fine and she doesn't seem to be favoring either leg, but her one leg she just kicks back as she steps periodically?? Is this something I should be...

    Male Button Bullying female ??

    So for the past while my male button quail has been bullying his mate. He will grab at her legs and trip her, and I picked her up today and noticed that she has scabbing around her vent, so I can infer that he has been picking at her around there as well. Is there anything I can do to stop...

    Liquid Rubber Duck Coop

    So I'm starting the plans for a "coop" for a couple of pairs of wild ducks (Biakal Teal ,Smew etc) along with a couple of pheasants and doves. In my ponderings I came up with a Drywall Coop. Its cheap ,fairly strong ,and easy to screw together. I can make a 4 x 8 "coop" for roughly 80 dollars...

    Will mallads stick around ??

    I have a pair of mallards ,and they are starting to fly now. Assuming I leave them full winged ,should they stick around ?? The hen did a fly around the neighbor hood the other day and came back ,so perhaps it shows more of whats to come ?? Also I live in the city ,if it makes a difference.

    How many of you clip your quails wings ??

    I do primairly with the buttons when they are around 2.5 weeks old. It keeps them from bashing their heads against the top of the chick tanks ,so no scalping/feather loss happens. I leave the first few flight feathers ,then clip 3-5 feathers on each wing ,depending on the bird. Then I just let...
