Hi all. I have a pair of 8 week old ducks that will soon be living outside with three older sisters. The younger ducks are still on 18% protein feed, but my older ones are on layer feed. What should I do to make sure the younger ducks get enough protein, while making sure the older ones don't...

I have a 1 week old pekin female. She's been inside in a brooder with one other duckling that was 90 degrees, but it has been lowered a couple of degrees. The brooder has pine shavings, and they have a water dish deep enough to clear their nares. Last night when they were sitting on my lap, I...

Hi everyone! This morning I received two beautiful babies (1 pekin and 1 duclair) . They seem healthy and energetic. However, one of the ducklings (who is named Bean) keeps on pecking the other's (Petal's) eye. Whenever Bean does this to Petal she peeps really loudly and I think it's hurting...

Hi guys. I know I posted my plans for the fencing I am planning on putting around my (future) ducks a couple days ago, but my family came up with the new idea of letting the ducks live in our garage... This is just an idea, so I was wondering what everyone's opinions were on this, perhaps you...

Hi all. I am trying to make sure my duck habitat setup idea is good and safe. Please tell me your opinions on my fencing/protection plan. I am planning on surrounding the perimeter of their habitat (for them to use when they are not free ranging) with 6.5 foot high weld wire fencing. I heard...

Hi all. I was wondering if it is possible to raise and keep ducks and geese together. Will the size and social differences be too much for the ducks and geese to handle and they will not get along?

Hi all. I was wondering if I would be able to raise and keep ducks and geese together. Will the size and social differences impair their abilities to get along? Or does it not matter?

If I want to take my ducks to a friend's pond, would they come back to me when it was time to leave?

I am going to raise ducklings this summer. I was wondering if it would be possible to have the ducklings be comfortable with more than one person. I am not saying they will imprint on more than one person, but will they not be scared of another person if they, too, handle them when they are young?

I am getting ducks this summer, and I want my dogs to be able to protect them (and not eat them either). What type of training should I put my dogs through in order to do this?

I am planning on getting ducklings this summer. As you all know, for the first month of their life they will have to live in my room (my room being the most suitable place for them to live, the next best place being the bathroom). I have a cockatiel, named JJ (hence my username ) and she also...

I have my cockatiel, JJ (hence my username ) and I am thinking about getting ducklings this summer. For the first month or so of their life they will have to live inside (most likely in my room, which is also my bird's room). Will my bird react negatively? Is there a way I can prevent some bad...

When I get my female ducks, do I need to have a nesting space/place for them in their duck house? Or can I just have pine shavings on the floor?

Hi all. I am planning on getting ducklings this summer, but I thought I would do extensive research beforehand in order to care for my future babies to the best of my ability. My question is: If I get multiple breeds of ducks, would they still coexist peacefully? Also, since I am planning on...
