    Need to rehome

    It’s killing me to post this but I am needing to rehome my 2 perkin ducks. They will be a year old in August. We have been battling predators to the point my girls are not able to free range at all. Between hawks, owls, foxes and raccoons it’s not safe. It is also not fair to them to be locked...

    Food question

    the supply store is out of my ducks normal food and we are totally out. They have been on Putin’s flock raiser crumbles since they hatched and are about 8 moths old. Both are female and laying eggs. What would be the best to switch to at moments notice? Help at the store now.

    Help what kind of fencing will keep predators out of duck run

    I have a duck run and house that ducks spend majority of day in then I lock them up every evening/ night. We built it last year with chicken wire not realizing that wasn’t predator proof till after it was done. I couldn’t afford to change it so I lock them up at night so they are safe. Since...

    Adding baby ducklings to 2 female perkins

    My baby just laid first egg I have questions

    How soon do I refrigerate them. How long are they good for? My ducks both are female just eat flock raiser crumbles mixed with 25% oatmeal. Do I need to add something now that she is laying eggs? Or change to a new food? Anything else I need to be aware of. This is all new and exciting.

    Snow storm and damaged duck run

    We are having a snow storm here with heavy wet snow. I have been shoveling snow off top of top of the run so it does cave in. However now a tree fell on top not only scaring my two perkin ducks but putting a hole in the wire on top of run. I have covered it with tarp and something to hold it...

    Blizzard warning

    We are to have 3-9 inches of snow with blizzard conditions today. I have put extra straw and pine shavings in their house, covered part of run with tarp to block some wind and snow.. my concern is if it’s too bad they may decide to stay in their house. I used to have food and water in the...

    Help recall on romaine lettuce

    There is big recall on romaine lettuce for ecoli. This is a daily staple for my ducks and they know it. So now they are quacking/screaming at me this morning cause they don’t have it. Can ducks get ecoli like humans? Any other ideas I know I read iceberg isn’t healthy and my ducks are picky...

    Proud Duck Mama

    After several weeks of chasing, coaxing my 9 week old ducks up their ramp to their house, I went out tonight a little later than usual and they both were already up safe and sound for the night! My babies are getting so big.

    First time duck mom!

    Hi I have 2 six week old ducklings. I believe they are perking if my research is correct. It has been a learning experience for sure. Never thought I would like ducks when my daughter talked me into them but now they are part of the family. It’s so cute when they see me and just start...
