    Integrating ducklings

    Hello all! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. All my duckies are well and happy, and I now have two new Harlequin x Cayuga babies that are now almost 25 days old! Unfortunately, I’m in a trailer, and they’re slowly getting too big for us :( I have some female ducks that seem broody, but never...

    Lump on beak? Scab?

    My little man’s has a scab-like lump on his beak. I wanted to make sure that this isn’t anything serious. My hopes are that he just bopped his beak into something. I was also gone for a week so I don’t know when this happened.

    Duck moaning?

    Hi everyone! I have a concern for my Silver Appleyard. She’s been moaning recently and it’s a bit odd. I have a video of her. My male Welsh Harlequin is sitting in front of her, he seems to be protective of this one more than his other girls his age. Have y’all heard this from a duck before? She...

    Duckling slower than the others?

    I have a 3wk old male Dutch harlequin, Alexander, and he seems to be walking a bit wobblier than the others, and he keeps plopping down like his legs hurt. On one of his knees, it looks a little red, I wonder if he got sunburnt? He just lies there while his girls run around eating, and he seems...

    Duckling ate a wasp 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Hey everyone, so my little week old Cayuga ate a paper wasp. I let them into their pool to cool down a little bit since it’s nearly 100°, they were having fun and bathing A paper wasp came along wanting water, and my Cayuga, Harley, bless her heart, leapt at it and caught it! She would chew it...

    Baby ducks outside?

    Hello! I’m going to be ordering ducklings from Metzer Farms soon. I live in a trailer and I won’t have much room for the babies in my bathroom bc the cats litter box is in there. I was wondering: would 3 dayish old ducklings be fine outside in an enclosed pen? I live in Oklahoma, and the weather...

    2/5 sized gravel for ducks?

    Hello! I’m thinking of getting River rocks to cover the gross mess in my ducks run. I’ve seen people use the small Pea Gravel, but it seems to get smooshed around when it gets wet I was wondering if 2/5 inch river rocks would work well? Would it hurt their feet?

    Accidentally got a Cedar Coop

    Hello! I have a coop I bought off Amazon. Unfortunately, I recently learned that it’s wood is cedar from the reviews, something that I know that is toxic to birds. It doesn’t emit a very strong or noticeable odor when I’m collecting eggs, but when I smell the wood directly it’s definitely...

    Beginner Broody or no?

    I have a mallard, Flash, that’s 11 weeks old. Her breast feathers are all patchy, and I can see feathers strewn around the run and sometimes in the pool. When I clean out their water she’s always getting all fluffed up and splashing all over the place (her sisters don’t really do that). When she...

    Insulating a Coop

    Hello everyone! I currently built a coop that I bought off of Amazon and it comes with a run. The coop is for my ducks, and I’m planning to get more. However, inside the coop itself is not big enough for 10 ducks, so I want to insulate the attached run, and get one more to attach and insulate as...

    Runner ducks

    I want to get four female ducklings: a fawn/white runner, a magpie, a Cayuga, and a white egg layer. Unfortunately, the runner stands differently than most ducks do. Would the other ducks bully her for that difference or would they not mind? Or does it depend on the temperament? This brings up...

    Two flocks, how many coops?

    Hi everyone! I’m new here and I need to know what I should do for my ducks. I’m going to have two duck flocks soon, and I don’t know if I should have one or two coops. I will have ten ducks by the end of the year: one male for every 4 females. They’ll all be raised together as ducklings so I’m...
