So my broody girls just hatched out 9 adorable little ducklings (a 10th died very shortly after emerging). I was pretty good about going through the nest every few days and picking out the new eggs (I marked the ones I wanted them to hatch), but they must have buried one that I missed. I had to...
Hey Everyone,
I just inherited a roughly 1-month old duckling whose sibling passed a few weeks ago. I have a backyard flock of 8 with a broody pair of wannabe moms who have been sitting on a nest for 10 days.
I've got the lone duckling set up in my brooder tank, and she seems very healthy and...

I have a fenced-off backyard with a pool and whatnot that is my ducks' domain. I got the ducks in March, and I subscribe to some TruGreen services (Lawn fertilization and Moquito spraying). I explicitly specified to them once the ducks went outside that my backyard was no longer to...

Hi everyone. My friend who's been raising ducks for awhile pointed me here and said it was a great resource. I just picked up 8 ducklings today (4 khaki campbells, 2 fawn and white indian runners and 2 rouen). I'm looking forward to reading everything and asking a million questions as I figure...
