Easy there! I agree with you about the use of GMO products but many people simply don't have the time to find earthworms and other stuff and crush them up to feed their ducklings. Also, chick starter, while not ideal, can be used with niacin supplements provided it is an acceptable brand. Duck...

*bump* I'm interested in this as well. edited for spelling

Oh, yay!!! Gorgeous babies, and beautiful dog! I hate to hijack, but do you raise them for show or pet? I love her color. I have a yellow lab (avatar) but a GD has always been on my dream list. They just eat so much! <3

Yay!!! Sorry, I can't help you with your questions, but I wanted to say congrats! I think we need pics.

What breed are you looking for? Generally, you should not have *only* one duck egg. Ducks are social flock animals, and should have at least one companion. Also, if you end up with one male and one female, the male will terrorize the female. The ratio is usually 1 male to 2-3 females. One last...

Yay!!! See, the wait was worth it, and you were sucessful!!! The babies are gorgeous, and congrats!

I have heard of some people using "guard" geese. Geese are very loud by nature, and having one around can sometimes scare off the less determined predators. This is by no means foolproof though, and you should do whatever feels right to your comfort level.

It really does depend on what you're looking for. The Golden 300s are great layers, but - correct me if I'm wrong- they are sterile when you try to breed a G 300 to a G 300? Khaki Campbells are also excellent egg layers, but they do have a tendency to be skittish, and do posess the ability to...

Do you have any waterfowl starter? A small bag of Flock Raiser also works well for this purpose. If you want, as Amiga said, moisten the food until slightly runny and swish your finger in it to intrest them. Are they imprinting on you, or do they have a mother?

Oh, how exciting! I do not have any ducks due to housing laws where I live, but one of my favorite breeds are the Welsh Harlequin. I think you'll be very impressed with the Holderread ducks - many members here LOVE theirs. Good luck!!! :)

I agree with the first post - are you sure it isn't worms? Older horses* can be more prone to worms and the like. Either that, or perhaps the girl has been causing your horse stress. The camera's an excellent idea. I hope your horse is alright. :) *Oops - sorry. When I read your post the first...

Hi! Yes, unfortunately, our town has laws regarding ducks. We are not allowed to keep any poultry or livestock, and the mayor refuses to listen to any other possibilities. T

Hi everybody! I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone at BYC. Currently, I don't have any birds, but I love their beauty and grace - I'll mainly be on the duck thread! My pets consist of one male yellow lab. I feel so sad when I look at the lists of pets all y'all have!!!
