I only have three ducks and they have always stayed in the garage in a large dog kennel at night and roam free during the day. I love it because they come in at night on their own and I just shut the garage door, then in the morning open it and their kennel without ever having to go out in the...
My duck hatched out only 2 eggs the last one on Wednesday. Today she completely redid her nest and kicked 3 eggs out. Now she has three left. I'm not sure which ones may be good, our other female has a habit of laying her eggs in the same nest when the female that is sitting gets off to eat.
My mallard is 6 months old and has hatched two ducklings and is still sitting. My other 6 month old is still laying but shows no sign of wanting to sit.
My sweet drake killed one of our babies. I put the nest along with the remaining eggs in a cage with the baby that is left, but the female will not go in willingly and has started sitting on the other ducks eggs. Why did the drake kill the baby?
This is Fluffy, my male with his two females. I know he is part mallard because of his head (I think). I'm not sure what breed he is but he is very sweet and always a gentleman to his girls. He waits for them to approach him to mate and he lets me pick him up anytime I want.
Blue Swedish. The duckling looks just like his daddy did. It is so cute. I do hope more hatch. Daisy the mom is very dedicated. Spot, my other female has never showed any interest in sitting, in fact she started out laying her eggs in daisy's nest. Daisy put a stop to it after a week or so.
Thanks to everyone for your replies. I live in TN on the side of a mountain in the woods. My 3 ducks (2 female Mallards, 1 blk Swedish drake) are 5 months old and have been free range since they were able to fly. They are locked in a large dog kennel inside our garage at night. The only...
Thanks, he is the one that always flies off to the Peking duck. He is beautiful and sweet, so are the girls. They are a lot more work than I thought, but that is because I do not have a secure pen for them. I am going to try to get my husband and son to help me build one. I really think a...
These are my first ducks. all 3 of them were suppose to be swedish. [/IMG][/IMG]I'm not sure if my boy is a black Swedish or not. But the girls look like female mallards.
