If you already have chickens, she probably wouldn't even notice the addition of a few ducks They have the markings of a Rouen but I don't know what they will look like as adults.

My Rouen has hatched 13 babies. I plan to keep 2 so the rest need to go to a good home. These are pet ducks - not to be eaten. Also, you'd have to agree to provide a water source for swimming. A simple kiddie pool would be fine. They would have to be picked up (no shipping). I live near...

Many grocery stores carry it in pill form or capsules. Vitamin B3 = Niacin.

Is there somewhere else they could be laying....like in a pool full of dirty water? That's where a lot of mine have started laying recently.

Have they recently molted? Mine quit laying when they molt. Are you sure they're not laying somewhere else?

Do you happen to know how old they are supposed to be? Rouens get much bigger much quicker.

Wow! Thanks for all the responses. Great information. If I get some, I didn't want to clip their wings. I want them to be able to get away from my large male ducks if they try to breed them. I am still concerned about them flying into the dog's lot and getting eaten. That's what happened to...

I put fake eggs in my ducks' nests. I do it to get them to lay in the same place each day. They don't like it when I take their eggs and will find a new place to lay if I don't keep a few fake eggs in the nest. It hasn't caused them to become broody.

Anyone free range their call ducks? How did you train them not to fly away?

Mine have been swimming daily and have been fine. Because of their natural oils, they don't stay wet long.

My Rouen and Cayuga's are laying daily. Very tasty.

Mine do that sometimes. I couldn't say why.

My ducks free range during the day and put themselves up in the barn at night. I built this duck house for them with the intent of locking them up at night but since they hangout in the barn with the donkeys, I don't have to. The donkeys keep them safe. I have their feeder in the duck house but...

It was a lot of work but takes very little effort to empty and refill. I decided to put the effort in up front. Thanks.

You might get a better idea of other's ponds by doing a search, but here is my duck pool.

Do you have to have a food dehydrator or can you make it in the oven?

Has anyone kept large breed ducks suck as Cayugas or Rouens with call ducks or BEI's? I was thinking of getting some BEI's next spring but was worried that my larger ducks might injur them if they tried to breed them.

Using hay or straw is another option.

Extremely Cute!!!

I just fertilized the yard today and didn't even think about the ducks eating the fertilizer. Oh well. I'm not too concerned about them eating it. Ferilizer smells and tastes terrible (don't ask how I know that).
