No worries, I'm glad to get all the advice I can. I'm learning as I go & I really just want to do what is best for the ducks. So far it's been fun with a side of wet & messy!

I'm certainly not going to abandon my ducks when the fall rolls around. In fact, I would be more than happy if they stayed right here with me. Being a 1st time duck owner with no previous experience, I wanted to make sure I was doing things right, that's why I'm looking for advice online &...

I'm curious about the rubber bands- Do you attach them to their pen?

Thank you everybody who contributed ideas to this thread! I took some of the tips & added some colorful stuffed animals & a mirror to my Mallards' brooder & it was a big hit! I was careful to choose items that were baby/duckling safe-- the stuffed monkeys have eyes that can't be plucked off &...

Awww... they're like a little family- adorable!

Thank you for the advice on the brooder. My next big decision is what to order for an outdoor duck coop. I plan on using chicken wire to fence off a large area in my backyard for them to roam when we are home. I wanted to order a coop with a completely enclosed (animal proof) run to keep them...

Does anyone know where I can find a pattern to make my own ducky diapers? From the pictures it's kind of hard to tell how the diapers are shaped & how the harness attaches. I have 3 baby Mallards & I thought it might be cute, but I'd like to try making my own before I spend a bunch of money on...

I recently aquired 3 baby Mallards from a neighbor who bought them as pets but decided they were too much work (she was planning on letting them into the wild, I couldn't bear the thought of those little guys getting gobbled up or starving!) So I am now suddenly the happy, yet nervous, momma to...
