    Here ae thes ones I am familar with http://www.thegoosesmother.com/ , http://www.etsy.com/shop/PartyFowl?section_id=12233903, and http://www.fashionmyfeathers.com/index.html. Look at the diaper harnesses on here. If the diaper itself works good once you get it on and it's the duck remaining...

    The diaper harnesses I have (and I think most of us) don't have leg holes. You put the neck through the neck hole bring the pouch under and through the legs, pull the poop pouch up and fasten the tail velcro and latch, then you bring the back strap up (move the wing tips if you have just get...

    I can't remember where I read it (on the internet though) but I recently read that they "bob" their heads when they are having a conversation. It's different than chit-chat. I've notice Quack-Quack do it when we've been talking back and forth for a bit. It's more intense than just a "Hi". Idk...

    Wow! It's been a while since I've been on here, just got done catching up on 165 posts. I have a question about adding one to the 'flock'. Quack-Quack is an imprinted duck, almost 3 months old and he is an only duckie and only pet. I would like to add a sibling for him and do not want another...

    Flock Raiser for Chickens? I'm sure the 2 Feed and Farm stores in my town have that, I've seen it. Thank you so far for the input on the feed. It seems like 10 lbs of crumble is a lot in 3 weeks time for 1 duck, now I'm wondering if I have a heavy eater cause like I said we give a couple leaves...

    I'm wondering how much people are spending on food, if it's not to personal of a question? I have one duck whose main food is organic duck maintainer crumble from efowl. I buy it online (of course, hence name) for $40.00 for 10 lbs. and we go through that in about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. Our yard...

    Reapted use can aciditfy the soil, but if it gets to acidic you can add wood ashes to level it back out. I'm wonder ing if it 's the nitrgen levels that make to acidic. To much nitrogen CAN burn your plants. I'm glad that this was pointed out because of what I had read in Mother Earth News too...

    Ducks love slugs, snails, worms, potato bugs, on and on. we're wondering if the duck poo in our yard is making the slugs not want to go in it because last year we were throwing them out of the yard and I lost several veggie starts to them. This year we have to really look for them so Quack-Quack...

    I read a couple pages back that someone is concerned about duck poo being bad for compost. I'm composting the poo. I don't know about acidity but it is high in nitrogen and replaces fish fertilizer for me. I also read in Mother Earth News that is a very good compost mixture. . . . . . . Maybe...

    I must say that I am jealous of all of the duck owners that get "duckie loves". Quack-Quack is very attached as in he won't let us leave his sight (but the older he gets the better he gets), he lays down outside at my feet, he has to get on the bed in the morning to finish sleeping next to me...

    I wonder if the difference is that you have more than one. Like parakeets, if you have only 1 they will bond with YOU but if they have another they will bond with it more. I got Quack-Quack at 2 days old but you wouldn't be able to tell the difference had I been there at the hatching. He's very...

    I'm using egg shell grit but Quack-Quack eats the sand used to level his pool more than the grit. I've also starting putting scratch dowwn in the grass cause the worm, slug and bug count has been low out in the yard.

    Quack-Quck is the ONLY pet in the house. We live in a good sized apartment with a small yard. I have heard that I can leave him alone but should only do this for a couple hours at a time. We have been talking about a "Duck Sitter" if we should ever be gone for longer, there are a few people that...
