    Muscovy Drake

    I was given three Muscovy ducks today. I must say I am in awe. They are unlike any duck I have had. They have been well taken care of. The ladies are very sweet and tame. The drake tho, is just magnificent. His behavior is very intimidating tho. He seems to be very very grumpy, wagging his tail...

    Dirty old Pekin hen

    Yes she is. I put vitamins in their water plus the pool. I do think she is stained. She has also had alot of trauma in the last couple years losing her family and gaining a new one.

    rescuing ducks

    I am currently rescuing 2 Khaki Campbells and 2 Buff Orpingtons. They actually only ate popcorn where they were located. How should I introduce them to what I feed my ducks?

    Ducks were attacked 2 days ago

    That's what I thought. I figured I'd keep her in the garage until we have the new big enclosure where I can safely separate her. Whatever it is will come back.

    Two of my five ducks were attacked 2 days ago. Whatever it was killed my beautiful Drake Moe and tried to kill my Gracie. At first I thought she had open wounds but after cleaning her up, it only plucked all the feathers off her neck and she does have a hematoma where it grabbed her. I've got...

    Ducks have began to mate...EXCEPT

    My 3 month old Pekins have begun to mate! Except...what I thought was the drake is the one being mated upon. If this is indeed the case, I have one hen and two drakes. I thought I had two hens and a drake. The "drake" had the mature voice and matured faster. The other two have the raspy hen...
