My boys were fighting like mad over the girls this spring. I found out that no one really wants a bunch of drakes when I tried to give the extras away. Instead, I decided to separate the boys into their own bachelor pad. After 2 1/2 days of work, the boys are separated from the girls and...

I have two boys that need a new home. They are 8 months old, born June 21, 2011. They are the offspring of my little Mallard hen and her husband, a white Call duck drake. They have clipped wings and should go to a home where they can be protected from predators. They would prefer to go to a...

Some of you might remember my posting a few months ago trying to figure out what color this duckling will end up. I thought originally that it was a girl, but it's a boy and his name is Mark. I thought some of you might like to see how he turned out. Baby pictures: 4 weeks: Checkers by...

I'm not an expert on Call Ducks, and I know that these guys are nowhere near breed standard by any means (offspring of my own backyard pet call ducks) but I was wondering what color I should call them? They are both 7 weeks old in this picture and are both girls. Their wing bars are coming in...

My Mallard hen hatched some pure call ducklings and a few cross Mallard-Call babies: Mallard Call Cross Ducklings by elizabeth's*whimsies, on Flickr Daisy and her Ducklings by elizabeth's*whimsies, on Flickr And my first set of Calls are almost full size now! 6 Weeks Old by...

I have four pet-quality call (miniature) ducklings for sale. There are three that will be white (some with black spots) and one that will be mallard-colored. These guys are offspring of my own ducks and have been raised mostly by their mother but have been handled and are people-friendly...

Just wanted to share. My kids are 3 weeks old. Three more weeks or so and I will be finding them homes. It amazes me how fast the little guys grow!! And my Mallard hen is sitting on a nest, as well, so in four weeks we should have another batch. These ducklings are calls (pet quality)...

These are my new little babies. I thought some of you might like to see them, just for fun. They are cross-bred call ducklings, pets only. Mom is a pied mallard call and Dad is a mixed call (white with a few black spots). Hattie (Mom) wanted so badly to sit on eggs, so I let her and these...

Hi all. I've been dealing with a major feather-picking issue in my flock since last November. I have tried just about EVERYTHING (increased protein, increased space, toys, food, etc etc etc) to get them to stop. I've installed a fence around 1/3 of an acre of yard so they have a very large...

Good morning. I've had a duck tragedy--on Sunday my Mallard, Millie, was killed by a hawk while I was home and only a few feet away inside the house. I have one other Mallard, Daisy, and she's just lost without her big sister. Millie was the leader, very confident and funny. I have also 11...

I already know the answer, I think, but thought I'd post for advice/encouragement. I have 11 pullets/hens that are almost a year old. I have had a problem with feather picking all winter, and perversely, it's actually getting WORSE now that the warmer days are here, I think because the girls...

My duckies are about 21-22 weeks old and haven't laid yet. I think Mallards are seasonal layers--is this true? And when will they start in the spring, if so? In the foreground is Millie (the loud and dominant one) and Daisy is in the background (the slightly smaller, 2 weeks younger, and...

Hi all, I'm not sure where to post this, but I ordered a coop heater, thermostatically controlled outlet and a heated waterer from Shop the Coop. I got an error message when I ordered it about the store's email being down and I don't think the order went through. However, my credit card has...

Here are our two ducklings enjoying the screen tent outside. These are the two I posted about a week or so ago. Little follows Big everywhere. No official names until I can figure out what gender they are.

Hi there, I have been "gifted" with two little ducklings that are dramatically different in size and also, I think, in age. I think they are domestic ducks but I don't really know...suffice it to say that the person giving them to me wasn't very forthcoming with information. So now I have a...

I had a duckling dropped off to me yesterday and he's really lonely. My chicks are WAY bigger than he is and I don't want to put them together. Does anyone have a single duckling or maybe two ducklings that I could buy? Thanks a lot. He's doing well and growing, just lonesome.

Free to a home where they won't be eaten. I have five, although one may be spoken for. They're 10 weeks old and free for pickup. They all get along well and all are nice chickens. None are aggressive. They like each other, don't squabble and also like the five pullets that are in with them...

I just wanted to share these photos because they're so cute. These are my new pullet chicks. Hopefully they are all pullets. They're about 1.5 weeks old in this photo.

My five Orpington chicks have all turned out to be boys. Like lots of others, I'd prefer to keep only hens, and these boys gotta go! They're all really friendly, but two of the five are friendlier than the rest and roost on my arm when I pick them up. I'd prefer them to go to a home where...

At least some of my Buff Orps are going to be roosters, if not all. They are 7.5 weeks old at this point, and once I'm sure who is who, the roosters need a new home. So if anyone is interested, please send me a message or an email. Ideally, I would like my favorite, at least, to go to a home...
