    RIP Smokey

    My 4 male runner ducks have refused to go to their house at night. It’s been going on for a few days now. Nothing I was doing was getting them in. We have a pond and any time I’d try to catch them they’d swim away. I’d put the boat in and they’d run out of the water. Now this morning I see only...

    Banana spiders

    A big ol banana spider made its web from a tree to my duck coop. Is there any chance it can be harmful to my duck? I’m fine with him being there as long as it doesn’t bite my duck or anything.

    what to do

    So I posted yesterday my duck passed away. After son rescue we figured out it was from botulism. Never heard of it, never thought it was something like that. So it was totally my fault and preventable. I hate myself now and will never forgive myself for this. But now I have this other duck that...

    Starting New

    So I have 2 runner ducks but want to get some chickens so I can have fresh eggs. I don’t even know where to begin. Can I raise chicks with my ducks? I have 4.5 acres with about a half acre sized pond on my property. Will the water access be an issue for them? Roughly my family eats like 7/8 eggs...

    Wild duck eggs

    So I have 4.5 acres with a big pond. Many muscovy ducks call my property home. I recently found a nest with a couple eggs during the day.

    Male and female ducks

    So I’m getting my female duck a friend (duckling) I’m worried if I end up with a male will it be to much for her? I wanted to get one closer to her age but can’t seem to find one so this is my only option. Also if I get a male how do I know if the eggs she lays for not fertile? Or how do I...
