    Please help! Recently, I was petting my duckling and just running my hand through her fur when I noticed a little bump where her stomach is. I was concerned because I have never felt it before and I'm genuinely concerned as to where she could have gotten it. I held her up to inspect what it...

    Walking My Duck

    Hello Everyone, So I wanted to take my duck out for a walk in the neighborhood for some exercise but worried about people identifying him as a wild duck even though he follows closely behind me. I was thinking maybe a tiny color or something like that but he doesn't really like things being...

The local store doesn't have special feed for older ducks and they said that they feed the older ducks the crumbles as well. But I've noticed that my duck has a hard time eating the...

    Duckling won't eat anymore

    Hello everyone! My ducking is about a month old now but he won't eat his all purpose crumbles. After his sister passed away, he ate less and less.

    Duck Puberty/Independent?

    Hello everyone, I have 2 ducks, a rouen and a mallard. We got the rouen before the mallard and she was alone with us until the store had more ducklings in store. She was the sweetest little duck and always loved to cuddle with us. With the mallard, he was more easily spooked and hated being...

    Hello Everyone! My ducklings are starting to outgrow their brooder and I'm searching for a house for them to out in the back yard.

    Keeping ducks of different breeds together

    Hello Everyone! I have a rouen duckling who is a female and a male mallard. I was wondering if I can keep them together in the same enclosure/pen when they are older? Will they mate and make half breed ducklings? I only have room for these 2 ducks and can't get another rouen and mallard for them.

    Duck Nails??

    Hello everyone! So my little duckling's nails have grown a little long and I'm quite concerned because she's starting to get scratches on her beak.

    Ducklings in Oahu?

    Hello Everyone! I have a two-week old duckling in need of a friend. I've recently gone back to the pet store, and they've grown quite big. Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to find a friend to keep my duckling company, I don't have an enclosure big enough for the both of them. I called in to...
