I have 3 ducks and 1 drake. Due to a new job and moving out, I need to rehome my 4 babies. I raised them since they were 1 day old. They are all siblings. The male is aggressive and does bite. I've tried everything to get him to be more friendly. They were handled everyday since I got...

I own 4 Muscovies, 3 ducks and 1 drake. I've hadled them since I got them (they were a day old). They are now 20+ weeks old. The females come close, but are timid. They don't like being pet. They can tolerate being held. My drake, he hisses and puffs up. He will walk across the yard just...

I've noticed one of my girls looks like she is loosing some feathers on the side of her neck. Not sure what it could be from. I do have a male, but I haven't seen him pick on her at all. He tends to just follow them or lead them. Any suggestions on what it could be from, what I need to keep...

I may be looking into this due to the fact that during the day I let my ducks free range. They have 2 clean ponds to hang out in, food, water, snacks, lots of bugs and a great tree to perch in. However, they have discovered that they perfer my Mom's gazebo which, is material. My Mom is afraid...

So I bought some grit from TSC since I ran out of my original bag. This one is labeled Chick Grit, but underneath it says for all classes of poultry. It's also a smaller grit. Everything else is the same as my origianl grit, just wanted to make sure it was ok to use for my ducks.

I think my duck may have angel wing, so just to be safe, I bought vet wrap and I plan on wrapping it ASAP. My only questions... 1.) How long do I keep it wrapped for? 2.) How often, if I need to, should I change the bandage?

I've noticed on one of my females, her wings aren't like the others. On her right wing, when she makes herself taller and flaps her wings, only one really extends. Her right wing doesn't seem to extend all the way like it should. At first I though, she was doing it on purpose, but I've never...

Lately, where I live has been in the 90s consitantly, except for when we have some storms come through. My ducks have a little cage, that I fill the bottom with water so they have shade and a place to play in the water. It's attatched to another cage whener they can hang out on the grass. When...

At night, I lock up my duckings and they don't have food while they are locked up. When I go to let them out in the morning they go straight to the feed bowl and start chowing down. My only concern is that they are so hungry that they start to cough or make choking sounds. I've tried to put just...

All my ducks have quite a bit of white on them, and it's always there bellies and tails that get dirty. I try and hose them down real good, and it gets most of it off, but is there a way to keep the white of a duck clean?

This is my first experience raising ducks so I have an untrained eye for telling males and females apart. I have Muscovies, so you can't sex them like you would another duck (drake feathers etc). I've been reading online how to sex, and I've been looking real close at my ducks lately, but with...

I was looking over my ducks today, making sure everything is alright with them. I think they sense a storm coming, cause they were all alert, but once I gave them more food and water, they seemed fine. The only concern I have is their webbing. One is fine, I can't see anything on his/hers. One...

I'm looking to disenfect and really clean the cages of the ducklings. I spray them down with water every week, but not all the poop comes off. Is there anything I could use that won't harm the ducks that anyone knows about? I've just been spraying what I can off then scrubbing and repeat. My...

I've been thinking lately, I really need to get on to building a duck house. They're already 5 weeks. Man how time flies. I've been dragging my feet, simply, because I honestly have no clue where to start. I've been looking at ideas, for 5 weeks now, I can't find anything perfect, or...

I've been interested in getting this book for some time now. I went to my local TSC yesterday and stopped to see if they had it. They have 1 duck magazine and that was it. They don't have the book, at all. I looked online, and they don't have it online either. They have ones for chickens...

What should the consistency be like? My Muscovies (almost 5 weeks old) vary. Sometimes it's runny, watery and brown, other times it's brown and white, not runny, lumpy for a lack of better term I guess. They other day though one of them had a tiny runny, watery white poop. Is all this...

As some of you may know, this is my duck pond: My only problem? Since we have filled it all the way, the ducklings don't want anything to do with it. It's no longer as clear as the pictures, so I'm cleaning it tomorrow, maybe that will help. My ducklings use to love it. But this is when...

Can ducks even snore first off? I was laying in bed last night about to fall asleep when I was hearing this peep. I thought it was my nose, so I held my breath (yeah I know I'm crazy lol), sure enough I heard it again. It was coming from the duck cage lol. It wasn't like s/he was peeping. It...

Awhile ago I notcied a large white duck in the local pond. (Pekin) It just happen to appear there one day, so it had to be someone's pet, who didn't want it any longer. It's been a few months since the duck has been there. I feel bad for it, he/she is always alone. I know it's mated with a...

1.) All 4 of my ducklings have this yellow sport thoward the base of their tail, it looks like feathers, but I'm not sure what exactly it is. Any know? 2.) One of my ducklings randomly bites at the air. He's not going after bugs or anything. Could he be having trouble swollowing food? It's at...
