    No more free ranging because of eagle, what should I feed him?

    The other day I had two visits from an juvenile American bald Eagle. Luckily, the eagle is very, very loud and I was able to get to the duck in time. The eagle was quite bold on the second visit and didn't seem to care that I was on the porch about 10 feet from the duck. My little drake was so...

    Strange eagle behavior and questions

    Yesterday, while I was in the house an eagle was in the oak in the backyard screeching loudly. I ran outside grabbed my free ranging duck and put him in his inside pen. Later, that day I put him back out and stayed with him and the eagle returned doing exactly the same thing. The brave drake...

    Duck refuses to eat duck food

    My 12 weeks and 2 days old Khaki is not eating his duck food. I thought maybe it went bad so I got him new but he refuses to eat this also. He spends most of his days free ranging and at night I will turn on the porch light (he demands this) so it will attract the June bugs which he gobbles up...

    What do I look for in a duck boarding facility?

    My house sitter is terrified of all birds so I have found a place that will board my duck. It is run by a licensed Avian vet. They told me on the phone that they have indoor facilities for the night and a covered outdoor area with a kiddie pool for the day. I will be going to look at the...

    She's driving him crazy....

    I have a 3 month old Khaki (possibly mutt). He spends his days free ranging in the yard under my watchful eye. He seems to have accepted all the other birds that come in the yard except for a female mallard that comes to visit. She drives him crazy. When she visits, he runs around the yard like...

    Newbie molting questions

    My 12 week old Khaki x is molting. He has become very irritable and aggressive. He doesn't even want to be picked up and carried around, which usually is something he really enjoys. He spends most of his time now wandering the yard foraging and being generally cranky to any creature he...

    Khaki Campbell flight injuries, Delete, he's molting

    I have Khaki Campbell or Khaki Campbell X who keeps trying to fly and keeps injuring himself. Sunday, he hurt his leg and today he cut up his feet by landing very badly in crushed shells. Sunday, I kept him as still as I could until he could walk without a limp and today I put Neosporin on the...

    Predator proofing question

    I'm finally putting up a pen for the duckie. I read on the University of Florida website, to snake proof anything, that I should bury 1/4" hardware cloth, 6" into the ground at a 20 degree angle. Would making the whole bottom of the pen achieve the same result? I'm going to cover this with a...

    Thought my duck was a she (more pics added)

    I am new to ducks. I was told my duck was a female mallard but she is now 9 weeks old and not a quack. I also saw a female mallard in my pond and she looks nothing like her. Is it possible I don't have a female mallard? Maybe a Khaki Campbell mallard mix? Maybe a male?

    Hi, new member

    I have one spoiled, unidentified breed of duck. She is 6 weeks old today. She mostly looks like a khaki Campbell but appears to have something else in her (so I am told). She eats mostly duckweed, yard weeds, bugs and sometimes duck feed. I bring the duckweed to her, because the pond has an...
