I call this one Ginger This is Pepper

Apparently I'm nothing more than food. I mean, okay... they are barn birds, what was I expecting? Feathered dogs? Maybe. Every time I come outside, it's feathers following me everywhere because I might have food. I think I am feeding them too much. They have clearly seen me as a source of...

No, they didn't kill each other. Yet. It would have gotten to that eventually. They were competing for everything, including crowing. They even began to fight with the family dog. That was it, that's the act that sealed their fate. Not the incessant crowing from dawn til dusk. Not the horrid...

I've been having trouble with my ducks digging muddy holes in the yard. Namely wherever our temporary pen is, right next to the duck pool. So I spent some time today just watching them. I moved their area today and as I was moving some boards on the wet, saturated ground there were tons of...

I know it's a silly question. I am convinced that my one duck (a drake I think) is acting a bit jealous when I pay attention to the chickens and completely ignore him. The chickens have been hanging out on the deck and I'm gently training them not to get up on the railing by overly petting and...

I really thought that I was just imagining things. But YES! My Saxony duck, Cinnamon whistles at me. It's not a sexy whistle, but more of a beaconing whistle. As if to say, "Come back, don't go!" He did it once. He did it twice... thrice! And now he's doing it all the time. Every time I...

Okay, I know some of you out there are experiencing the shock and horror of discovering truly how messy a duck can be. I stopped a major mud hole before it became cataclysmic. I know there are mud holes out there worse than anything I've ever seen. I'd like to see them now. I'm prepared and...

Okay... so I finally get "Chicken Little" and the whole sky is falling thing. A leaf fell... and it was hilarious!!! I got that in an instant! So funny. And the phrase, "Monkey see, monkey do." Nah, they have that all wrong!! It's "Chicken see, Chicken do!" LOL Without a doubt! I have...

I feel the phrase, "Ducks are messy" is a colossal understatement. Ducks are messier than pigs. Ducks are messier than the messiest pigs on this planet. No. Wait. Let me rephrase this. Ducks are the PIGS of this planet. Just sayin'. LOL The funny part is, I'm not scared yet. YET!

I thought I remembered someone here mentioning that their ducks liked to eat guppies. I just happen to have a tank full of guppies breeding out of control. If I can feed guppies to my ducks, whats the best way of delivery? I do happen to have a small pool that I take the ducks bathing in...

First time duck owner here. I have one duck almost 3 weeks and another is about 10 days old. I am still bumbling around in the land of knowing nothing. I have the EcoGlow brooder in the ducks brooder to give them heat at night. They seem to enjoy it and do sleep under it at night. When is...

Anyone keep their ducks inside the house at night? We have a nice dog crate that I think would be perfect. So far they have already learned where the dog food and water is. How hard would it be to have a duck in the house at night? Am I crazy? Ducky diapers? I just lost 2 chickens to...

I finally figured out what that one thing is about ducks I like so much. They always look like they are smiling. Yup!! That's it!

Okay.... at one day old the little tasting sessions were cute. But at one week already, OUCH! I mean don't get me wrong, it's cute. I'm glad I'm the object of such constant attention. However, will this tasting continue? I've already taken to moving the duck to a neutral spot in order to...

It's my fault. It's my husband's fault. Accidents happen. **** happens. It's nobody's fault. Blah blah blah. I took it hard. I've played it over and over in my head. It's taken a week to get back here to post because I just couldn't handle it. My baby silkie who was just over a month old...

Someone here suggested using puppy pads for brooding ducks due to how absolutely messy they can be. I took the advice and LOVE the results. I had gotten the EcoGlow for my chicks and the ducks love it too! What's really nice about it is that is, after they play in their water they go under the...

I posted an ad requesting a baby duck in my area. We hatched out this weekend and only 1 little duck made the hatch. I was thrilled to have her, but don't want her to be alone. So I put out an ad HERE and got a quick response. Soon, very soon I'll be going to pick up a white Call Duck not...

Do you have something unusual that you used for your ducks to swim in... even for a day? Aside from my little quacker swimming in her water dish, I'm wondering where else she'll swim.

I had a baby duck hatch and is alone. I would like to have a companion so it's not alone. Will travel up to an hour and a half from Cecil county (North East), Maryland.

As I found out today after duckling #1 hatched.
