Wild duck
The last few weeks a wild duck has been coming around swimming in the pond with my domestic ducks. This morning she was waiting for me to let them out of their pen so she could hang out with them. Anyone ever have this happen before? Maybe her mate was killed and she's lonely? My ducks don't... -
Duck hatching questions
Hello. I recently went on vacation and came home to find that my duck sitter was not removing the eggs. I now have two very broody ducks and decided to allow them to try and hatch the eggs.

Lethargic duckling
I have a 6 week old khaki Campbell duckling. 3 days ago I noticed she was not running around and playing with the other ducklings. I believe she is having mild seizures. Her eyes twitch and will close and then she pops out of it. I have given her niacin and charcoal. She had some molasses mixed... -

Missing ducks
All 6 of my ducks went missing today. I went out to try and find them because it was getting late and they don't usually wander far and I could not find any of them. Is it possible a predator got them all? I have had them for almost 2 years and have had zero predator issues. There was no trace... -
Duck Molting
5 of my 6 ducks molted at the end of August. The one that hadn't is now finally starting to. She is a few months older than the others. My question is it's getting cold out now, 30's during the day and down to the teens at night, should I be worrying about her being too cold? -
