    Expanding the flock?

    Hi, Last Friday I hatched 2 ducklings. So only two days old! But when I try and introduce them to my other two adult ducks will they try and attack? You see, I raise the ducklings up at my house until they are about 6- 7 weeks and then I take them around my nans and keep them on her farm. Will...

    Places to order ducks in the uk?

    Now I have read many posts of people saying about ordering their ducks and posting pictures of them. I have heard of Meterz farms and Holderreads or something like that but when I go onto their website it's all in dollars. If I was to order all the way from the us live ducklings, I don't think...

    Pond plants

    I just dug in a pond for my two duckies and it's already very mucky. Someone told me that it will get smelly and diseased after a week and I will have to clean it out every weekend. I haven't got the time and I don't want to "waste" water. I asked the same person what I could do. They gave me...

    How to keep a pond clean?

    I just went out and bought a small pond today. It's 1.9 meter by 1 meter. I was just wondering that when I get the pond into the ground and it's filled up with water, how am I going to clean it? A pump is not an option at the moment because of the electricity. I thought about some pond plants...

    Infrared lamps vs normal lights!

    Okay, so I was wondering what heat lamp would be better for ducklings? Would it be the Infrared lamp that gives off loads of heat? Or is it the normal white bulb that gives off some heat but alot of light to get them used to the outdoor feeling of 'sun'. What do you think is the best sort of...
