    Saying goodbye to my ducks

    Hello all. Today I must say goodbye to my 2 ducks. My neighbors have complained about their smell and threatened to tell our landlord, so my parents, overnight, decided to have them returned to the farm we got them from. Perhaps it's for the best, but I will miss them very much. I wish I could...

    Ducks may have drank soapy water, should I be worried?

    My laundry room sink flooded overnight (long story), and dirty, soapy black water was all over the place! I had set my ducks near the front yard, so they wouldn't interfere while we drained the sink and cleared out the water, but I noticed they were walking all the way back to take sips of the...

    Angel wing or normal growth?

    Is this normal feather growth, or something I should be worried about? Looks like tiny blue paintbrushes are growing out my ducks' wing.

    Can I keep my ducks in the cold?

    Hello all. I have some ducks, about a month old. They're about halfway done with growing out their feathers. Since I still lack any sort of proper feed at the moment, I give them much more access to forage in my backyard, however I worry it may be too cold for them. It's very cold outside, not...

    Ducklings in laundry room with backdoor access - is this a good idea??

    Greetings all. After a few days of keeping them in the house, I've decided to move my ducklings downstairs to the bottom-most floor: the laundry room. I chose it because it was rather roomy, messes would be more acceptable, so my parents would stop complaining about their smell, and because it...

    Ducklings are acting aggressive

    Hello all. Today, after giving them a bath, I noticed my ducklings got very aggressive. When I put my hand near them, they both started biting at it, twisting and giving lots of pressure. It almost hurt, and otherwise, they completely ignored me. It wasn't anything like the love bites I was used...

    In Memory of Ducklas

    Hello all! Though it's been a few days since my duckling passed on Thursday, October the 7th, I still feel like it's still with me, chirping and following me around everywhere I went.

    Hello! Recently, I had gotten 2 new ducklings, and while they were still adjusting to home life, I noticed they weren't quite as sociable as my first. Is there a way I can get them to be more receptive to human interaction? I've also noticed they get very stressed without the other, though I'd...

    My duckling died 30 minutes ago

    Hello all. I am here because me and my little brother are panicking and crying. I bought a duckling from my neighbor's kids who were trying to get rid of it so they could get a cat. We played with and cared for it for multiple weeks. Though we could only keep it indoors most the time (we took...
