    Is my runner duck sick or going through puberty?

    Hi! My ducks just turned 9 weeks old yesterday. I woke up to my Blue Runner making these funny honking noises. I'm concerned because she does the pant/gape thing too even when resting. I thought at first that she had something stuck in her throat,but after swimming in the pool and access to...

    How to remove paint from a duck

    I was painting outside and my ducks waddled over rubbed right up against the newly painted boards. Is there a safe way I can try to remove the paint? Will this affect their waterproofing ability if I leave it? They are 5 and 7 weeks old.

    Soon to be duck parent

    Hi! I'm expecting 4 ducklings from Metzer Farms next week. I've been researching for about a year, but once I clicked the Order Now button the panic set in. I'm frantically trying to remember all that I've learned. I have a brooder box partly set up. I'm still trying to figure out how to set up...
