    New Coop / Run Questions

    Hello Everyone! Two ducks incoming next spring, starting preperations now. I have a few questions! 1. Is 13'x10' big enough of a run for 2 ducks, it would include their 2x6 hutch, and a 4x4 pool, as their 'run' will be their place all day. When we are home they will be free range in the yard...

    Preparing for new babies

    Hello everyone, Devestating news. This last week, my two babies April and Andy were attacked by an eagle while I was changing their hay in their hutch. I am absolutley devestated and reeling from this loss. My partner and I have talked it over, and we are just duck owners at heart. So, next...

    Wildfires and my Ducks

    Hi All, So- in my state there are a few pretty harsh wildfires going on. Not near enough to me that we are in imminent danger or needing to evacuate, but the smoke is terrible. The smoke is supposed to last today, through the night, and fade tomorrow. Usually, throughout the day my ducks would...

    One male one female duck

    Hey guys! My two ducks are finally to that age where I can confidently gender them, Andy is definitely a boy and April is definitely a girl. Is this okay? They are Cayuga ducks, and getting another duck is not an option in my space. I got them for eggs, and one of them just was mistakenly a male...

    Ducks with separation anxiety?

    Hi guys! My ducklings are about 6 weeks old now and CANNOT be separated. They love to be held but only if I am holding both at the same time, and if I only pick up one the other screams until I put it back down. It seems like they have some pretty bad separation anxiety, I’m assuming because...

    Taking Care of my Ducks (advice?)

    Hi everyone! I have two ~ month old Cayugas. They are still in the brooder in the house because my weather has been rather unpredictable and sporadic (days of heavy rain and very cold to sudden days of extreme heat). it seems to me the best thing to do to keep them inside until the temperature...

    Coop size for my ducks

    Hey all. Just wondering if you think a 3x4 coop is big enough for my two Cayugas, just for at night? Thanks!

    Sexing My Ducklings?

    One of my Cayuga ducklings is jet black and much skinner than the other (April), while the other (Andy) has some white/light tan around his chest and beak and is a bit bulkier with thicker legs, which makes me think they are two different sexes. I read somewhere a long time ago that the lighter...

    Dog Kennel into Duck house?

    Hello! I’ve been trying to find something that I could use for a duck house that would also be moveable and I was thinking this Dog carrier. It is huge and would surely be enough room for the two ducks. My idea was to cover all the open wire and holes on the crate with hardwire cloth, install a...

    Another question. How long should my ducks stay in the brooder?

    Hello everyone! I’m new to raising duck babes and have been doing SO much research. Everyone says something different but I’m curious what you all think, when should my ducks be taken out of their brooder to live a more independent life style? They will be spending their days outside with a pool...

    Hello! I recently got two cayuga ducklings, and they are about 2 weeks old now. They are living in my bathtub homemade brooder, and we do not have their mother. I live on a cattle ranch essentially out in the middle of no where, and the predators out here are insane. i only feel comfortable...
