Greetings, I'm the proud parent of several ducks and while out walking today, I came across 2 abandoned Canadian Geese walking in between our local railroad tracks.. Both goslings appear to be in great health and don't appear to have any defects. However there was no parents anywhere in site... -
Strange Poo and Angel Wing
Hey everyone, just a fast question I have for you. We put Echo and Fluffy out to free range and they been on their own now for a few days. However, last night I brought them inside for a nice bath and noticed their poo has completely changed. Instead of the normal Whitish poo, it is now tar... -
Lewie may have lost his mind.....
Lewie has been doing some rather interesting things today and I can't figure out if he's playing or what his deal is. For example, we were all gathered around in the kitchen/dinning room playing and talking. Suddenly Lewie decided to stretch his neck straight up and quack as if he were surprised... -
New Arrival!!!
Well we just got home with our brand new baby, a 2 week old Rouen. We were originally going to get a Blue Swede, but the wife decided that she liked this baby more. I'll be going out either Wed. or sometime next week to pick out 1 more baby to add to our family. I'll post pics in about an hour... -
Introducing new ducklings
Greetings everyone! It's been a long time since I posted here, but I thought I would pop in to say hello, see how everyone was doing and to of course ask a question, LOL. Things with Lewie have been great and ever since he's become our only duck, he's adapted to indoor living surprisingly well... -
Lewie is making a strange sound.....
A new development with Lewie and I'm not sure if it's good bad or what. He'll stand next to me and be chattering like he normally does, but then he'll make this wierd squeal and what sounds like a growl. Usually when this happens his neck will bend wierd and his feathers all fluff for a moment... -
Duck Toys
Hey everyone, I've got another question for you. I been letting Lewie out more often and trying to get him and the dog to get along more. While doing this I've been taking notice to a few things. He's BORED!!!!! I never really thought about it when we still had Howard, but now that Lewie is an... -
Dominance or just playing?
Greetings all! Well Lewie is still coming along quite well and we couldnt be happier. But I have a question regarding dominance and play. Lewie has already made it clear to our 2 cats that he's now in charge. One day while he was out and running about, I was shocked to see our smallest cat... -
Cat food and updates
Greetings all! For those of you that helped me out about a month or so ago, I thank you and have a few updates. Things with Lewie are going well. Although we have not gotten him a new companion, his adjustment from free roam to indoor house pet has been successful for the most part. We got him a... -
Desperately need help!
It's been quite a while since I've posted here, but I'm back with an emergency. On mothers day last year I purchased 2 ducklings for my wife and recently (3 days ago) we lost one to what I think was a preditor. The problem that I am running into is that our black runner is now all alone without... -
First time outdoors and I've noticed a possible issue :(
Hey all, I just took our ducklings outside for their first great adventure and it was sooo cute! They both seemed rather confused at first but after about 15 mins they figured it out and started to explore. They even followed me around which I was surprised to see. I didnt think they would do... -
Growth and behavior questions and some pictures
Hello everyone, I come to you once again with more questions and even a few updates. Howard (our Fawn/White Runner) and Lewie (our Blue Swedish) are both coming along well with gaining trust in us as parents. However we are finding that with trust comes issues, lol. Tonight Howard finally ate... -
Funny/ironic story to share
I was browsing the web and reading up on more duck info when I came across this story. Turns out that here in my home state of Minnesota, there is a truck driver that takes his duck with him everyday to work. Now this is one of the cutest stories that I have ever seen, but what makes it even... -
More questions
Hello all, I'm hoping that you can help me out again. I'm curious as to how long it takes for new ducklings to stop being afraid of us. They both were store bought so there was no imprinting. I'm curious because when we do get them out of the brooder to spend time with them, they cry allot and... -
