    Duckling mass death diagnostic

    Hello BYC, I hate to have to write this message out because I'm bordering on crying. 7/7 ducklings that made it to hatch have died shortly after hatching. Important information: *The eggs were from young birds, they had only been laying for a few months. They were small, to the point that...

    Ducks ate Silicone sealant???

    I went to let my ducks out of their new coop this morning (made out of an old shed, with lino covering the bottom and up the walls a bit, sealed using a (EDIT: Acrylic sealant)) to see that the water in their waterer was a horrible opaque pinkish colour. I was dumbfounded... Until I noticed a...

    Possibly being too concerned about duck behaviour?

    I have gotten a pair of male and female Runner ducks about a week ago (9 weeks old), that I have been letting have run of my garden (probably about 15x20 meters?). The first couple of days the ducks were very fearful and refused to come out of their coop (an important thing to note is that the...
