    this pretty yellow baby

    This is the view through my office window more or less. The feral ducks are fond of my yard and have several batches of eggs here yearly, always different moms. I don't feed them or anything, they just like it here. Anyway they're always gold and brown, with a gold belly, and about 90% have gold...

    Angel wing, attempt #5

    I sacrificed my favorite long sleeve t-shirt in an attempt to make something that will stay on through the night. Ducky in a T-shirt with leg holes, wheeeeee!! My daughter drew an anarchy symbol on it in appreciation of his uncooperative spirit, lol. Keeping him inside for the night because...

    Angel wing treatment, attempt #3

    This is my third try to get baby to sit and chill and spend the night with his wrap on. The first day I tried several times with some cloth strips, but once I'd leave him alone he'd run back and forth until it fell off. Yesterday I got some vet tape, and it seemed like it was on good, but this...

I left the empty nest alone, and about 4 weeks later the mom came back and...

I know when the chicks hatch, the mom will walk them down to one of the ponds, because I followed them once, but will they come back? The thing is I have a serious privacy fence, so the duck has...

    Small coop advice

    I need to build a small coop or the duck version of a doghouse really. Ideally it will be portable-ish. I was thinking 2x2 or 2x3 feet (~30 cm in a foot) of floor space, maybe 3/4 feet high. Do they like a raised floor or on the ground? I'm planning for a single duck but they don't always use...

    need some advice

    So the universe gave me a muscovy duckling for valentines day, which I thought was odd (3 weeks old tomorrow). I have a small privacy fenced yard in a neighborhood with lots of ponds and muscovies, and at least 1 or 2 have figured out a couple good nesting spots in my yard, behind the heat pump...
