Baby Duckling Left Behind
Amiga - Thanks for the reply! Will it do ok it kept alone or do I need to get another sibling for it? Due to these little guys being semi wild they aren't too keen on my catching them so I am thinking it may be hard to try and grab a sibling (baby ducklings are quick little suckers)... I went... -
Baby Duckling Left Behind
Our muscovy momma's hatched their clutch about 8 days ago and the ducklings are doing wonderful! Momma is super attentive to them and they have been thriving....until I went outside this morning.... The momma and the ducklings all took off into the pond and i kept hearing a tiny cheep cheep... -

Drakes & Offspring
Our 2 scovie ladies just hatched their first clutch and boy are those 16 little ducklings the cutest! However now that we have these new additons to the flock I am curious about a few things.... Right now we have 1 drake and 3 adult ladies - what is the best course of action to take on the... -
Scovies Started Laying On Floating Dock
We have only lost 1 duck to predators in the year since we started having ducks. We have never let the ducks hatch a clutch as the other ones we had were pekins and they never laid in one spot routinely so we just collected the rouge eggs every day. We have tried cooping them at night but the... -
Scovies Started Laying On Floating Dock
lol thanks! We were thrilled when we found this house as it is right in middle of town but we have a pond in our backyard and no neighbors to the side or behind us (buffer zone for an old shuttered manufacturing plant) and first thing I thought was DUCKS! We have taken care of the snapping... -
Scovies Started Laying On Floating Dock
So on a weekend whim I I built a floating dock for my pekin's to use to get away from predators and to have a place out on the pond they could go to. It was by no means a permanent dock (and it floats using pool noodles..lol) and was more something I could have while I repaired the bigger one we... -
Our new addition muscovies and our pekin/scovy girl...
We currently have a flock of 4 ducks (1 scovy drake, 2 scovy hens, and a scovy/pekin hen) - the pekin mix is about 1 1/2 years old and the other hens are about 6-8 months....the drake is about a year.....the muscovy's are the new additions after Coco (the pekin/scovy) lost 2 of her... -
Free Range Ducks - Possible death due to injury from alligator or snapping turtle?
We have 3 adult pekin ducks and they are fairly free range...We have had them since October and they were penned for about a month then we let them out onto our pond. The pond is about 3/4 acres...the ducks love it! We know we have snapping turtles in the pond but so far we have only had one run... -
Mudders!!!
Too cute!!! I keep freaking out (as a new duck mother) that the mud and dirt will make my ducks unhappy and have tried (unsuccessfully) to herd them into the duck house before a huge rainstorm...guess I as wrong...lol....
