    Quality Rat Poisons in the UK?

    Unfortunately, we have a huge rat problem with our ducks, I've never had an infestation this bad. We have a movable run and we move it every week, which used to be a very good deterrent, but now they seem to be invading on the same day, and short of cementing underneath the run (which isn't...

We have movable runs that have kept rats to a minimum in the past, but now within 2 days of moving there are always heaps of them. I was thinking of putting some mesh wire on the...

    Duckling yawning or something bad...? (VIDEO included)

    Hi all, back with another question! I’ve noticed when I have my ducklings out with me that they do this little stretching move with their mouths. I wondered if they were too hot or perhaps thirsty, but when I put them in a shallow bath for a splash I saw one doing it again. They also make a very...

    Ducklings won’t fall asleep...please help me stay sane!

    I purchased two little khaki Campbell ducklings, 1-2 weeks old. They are lovely and when laying on top of me dozed off quickly. However, they are in their homemade brooder with the light, water, straw, etc and they won’t fall asleep! I can hear them chirping away and splashing around, but...
