    Shoes for ducks?

    Has anyone used duck shoes to prevent frost bite in the winter? If so, how’d it work? I know they are typically used when curing Bumblefoot and such, but I have a pair of mallards who demand to stay out in the winter and do not want to deal with frostbite.

    When will my duck lay eggs again?

    My 1 year old mallard hatched a clutch of eggs on March 6th. We got rid of her babies on April 25th. It is now May 25th and she still has not started laying eggs again. Is this normal? It has been 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit here. Any idea when she will begin laying again?

    I have a 7 week old mallard drake who has been attacked by his dad and had a majority of his feathers plucked out. He is separated and on the mend now, but that’s not the issue I’m posting about.
