    Mallard limping

    So my mallard female started limping. I’ve picked her up and felt legs, looked at feet and don’t notice anything. She is my smallest female and I think maybe one of the drakes may have accidentally hurt her, they are Pekins. I will try to post a video of her limping and photos of her feet. It...

    Should I be concerned?

    I have 5 hens, 2 have recently started laying. My mallard who is the oldest hen is acting broody. I know mallards hide their eggs but I have searched and searched and can’t find any. And to my knowledge she hasn’t started laying again since she stopped in the fall. Can she go broody over another...

    Mallard hen question

    My Mallard hen, Gigi will lower her head and walk chattering at me when I go outside. It doesn't seem aggressive. Does she see me as a vending machine? Lol. Also, she has been wandering off like she is nesting, but I have checked everywhere and can’t find any nests anywhere!

    Ordered female ducklings realized I got a couple males

    So I’m curious, I purchased 5 ducklings online from a hatchery. That was in August. Assuming they are all females, I didn’t pay much attention to their appearances.

    Another question

    So I got a Pekin from someone to add to my flock. I had originally gotten two but one died. She limps and is being treated with electrolytes, niacin and nutri drench.

    New ducks to flock

    So a friend of my sons brought me his 2 Pekin hens last night. One looks like it’s eyes aren’t completely open. It’s also dirty. One has a limp, which I am going to get nician for. Do you think it’s sickly? Can I go ahead and introduce these 2 to the rest of the flock? Any thoughts?

    Ducklings and hen question

    So I got 5 females ducklings this week to add to my flock. I already have three, 5 month old ducks. I have had to separate my only female from my males due to mating. Since my hen is the only female can I introduce her to the ducklings? Or put her with the ducklings so she’s not alone?
