Duck behavior
Will my ducks EVER relax? They will rarely come over to us, when we're around their area, they waddle to the furthest corner of the pen. A couple of times, I've had to go out at night and catch them and put them to bed -- could this be hurting our chances at friendly ducks? I just don't want... -
Ducks + water
We have a lot of trees in our yard, I think we're fairly safe from aerial predators. We've never lost a chicken and they free range all day long. But today's MAJOR VICTORY:: the ducks put themselves to bed after me chasing them and putting them to bed for only 2 nights!!! It's the mini... -
Ducks + water
Well I wasn't going to leave food without water :eek: But I wondered if it was ok to remove water. For example, if we lock them in a coop/house at night -- I wanted to make sure they'd be ok without water. Also. If I build them an "area" do I need to have it covered or will they be safe... -
Ducks + water
We are moving right along and getting the ducks situated for their permanent home outside. We have a large coop for our chickens, could we just add our ducks in with them? If so, can we lock them in at night without water? I don't want water in the coop with the chickens as we all know the... -

No idea if they fly - Rouen, Pekin, Khaki Campbell, Black Sweedish -
Ducks + water
Only one light is on - the other is still there from when they were tiny. We should probably take that down, huh? The feed is not pictured in this photo but is kept on the opposite end from the water. I add niacin - Can you share an exact ratio? I've seen several for large bags of feed but what... -
Ducks + water
Yes... a raised bin with hardware cloth... I can't think of anything?!!!! The only reason there are shavings in the water tote is because they seem so slippery. I'll toss them! They hold the stink!! -

Ducks + water
We got 7 ducklings on 4/12. I'm assuming they were a few days - a week old, they came from TSC. They are so much fun and are getting BIG! They're kind of in the ugly stage and getting feathers in place of down. I am aware, and was aware that they're MESSY! They LOVE the water! This is my... -
What breed are we?

We've had chickens but this is our first duck experience :) -
What breed are we?
We just picked up some ducks at the feed store and I'm trying to learn as much as I can! What breed are these sweet babies?! -
Pullets or cockerels?
NOOOOO! I hope not! We bought them all sexed and I hope we don't have to get rid of any of them. My husband doesn't want any Roos around with our kids and dogs. I thought (based on one other set of SLW we had in the past) that SLW got red combs and waddles sooner than some other breeds. Although...- 2Sesslers
