Ok so my year old drake named Jasper was raised inside with us for awhile and then introduced to two younger ducks about 2 weeks after is liter mate died. All 3 lived inside for about 1 month then were moved outside. I still spent a lot of time with them and to this day the two males are really...
Finally Japser accepts all his new babies and they are living together as one big family. He still nips at them a little when they get too close but they were all swimming today I now have 8 happy ducks
Ok so I have my Jasper duck and hes an aggressive drake towards babies. I have 3 babies that are about 6-7 days old and 2 that are about 2 weeks now. The babies are living in different places. 3 are inside at night and in kennel during day. The other two are with momma free ranging with the...
Here are some pics of the baby ducks from Jasper and momma. I am raising these ones inside and they are very friendly. One has a little bitty crest if you can find it
this one really loves the camera
I posted the other day about my drake being very aggressive and killing a duckling and going after the other ducks. IDK whats goin on but now my momma duck is being mean to the ducklings i had to help her hatch. She has two older ones that are a little over a week and 3 others that are 3-4 days...
Ok i first started off with Jasper one of my male ducks. then i thought he was lonely so i got two more, ended up being 1 female and 1 male. At first he was mean to the babies but after awhile they became a family. I later tried to get 3 more females due to me having 2 males with 1 female. I...
So I just placed an order for 3 female ducks since I ended up with 2 males and a very little female on my last pick. I have one crested duck now and I think he is the cutest thing ever. Yes I know of the problems they have but I had to have more. I ordered 1 female crested Pekin, 1 female...
Ok so I have 4 Cochin chickens and they are hens about 3-4 months old. They do this chest bumping thing and then they give each other this stink eye and bob their heads up and down and then start doing more chest bumping. Sometimes this will go on for 1-2 minutes. Its really funny because they...
So today the dog next door a "poodle" reached through the fence and grabbed one of my RIR chickens and chewed it to pieces. It was still alive so I took it to the vet to be sent to chicken heaven. The sad part is that they tried to blame it on my dog because I have a pitbull. They didnt say they...
Ok I work at a petstore and have access to cheap bugs. I always bring home bug treats for my ducks and they go crazy for them. Its a cute little game we play. I let the bugs go and they chase them through the grass or eat them out of my hand. I want to know what kind of bugs are the best. Iv...
Got the bigger pool and roof up. They are outside full time now and loving it. Decided Jasper has to be a crested blue swedish. I went to our fair and saw one they were showing that looks just like mine.
he loves the camera
Its about 80-90 in the daytime and then about 60 at night. When can I put my ducks outside full time? One is about 2-3 months and the other two are 2-3 weeks
I put the fence up and tomorrow I will work on covering the roof and sides. Still need a house for them to sleep in too. They are still living in the house for now. Babies are with Jasper, he finally accepted them and now he act like the big papa.
OK so our walmart out here sells Family Farm Egg Maker 15 crumbles. It says it has niacin, b12, thiamine, riboflavin. They sell it for $11 a bag I get it for my chickens anyways. Do you think it would be ok for my ducks or would I need to put more niacin in it
Ok so first off, do they work? and will the duck wear them? What is the best place to order from? Im seeing a few different places and different kinds of diapers. How often do you have to change it through out the day? are they messy and is it worth the money
Ok I am looking for a crested duck or maybe a few of them. I have one already and yes I do know of the problems that they may have. I know with good breeding the genetic problems are bread out of the ducks. If anyone has some for sale please lmk and if you are willing to ship. I live in AZ
