Too bad we don't live closer. I live in the rural area of northern CA. The only feed I have right now is layer feed so I'll find him something that he needs. The gal who gave him to me was feeding him something that looks like scratch which I don't think is a real food. Are the Silver...

I'll see if I can get a standing photo and post it in this thread. Do you know if he is a bantam or just small?

My ducks are pretty laid back except the drakes this time of year and they are only fussy toward each other when they bother a gal they consider their girl. I'll make sure they are okay with each other. For right now I have him in a pen placed in their yard so he'll figure out this is home...

Although I've had ducks for years I haven't had chickens since I was a teenager and then a chicken was a chicken. I was wondering if anyone might know what breed he is. I came into ownership of this fellow when he was found being beaten by three roosters. Going by his size, I'm pretty sure...

Thank you all for your replies. Maybe I don't have to worry about giving her that medication after all. It looks like she is doing better. When I let her out of the dog crate this morning she went out ate a little duck food and drank water. She also checked out some lettuce. I went and...

My duck got into our back yard and mauled by my dog. The vet checked her out and prescribed anti-biotics but not pain meds. A duck rehabber said I should get the Metacam. The vet was okay with that but said I could never eat her eggs again. I sell the eggs and since the ducks don't mark...

How absolutely cute

Why is it that when you talk to a relative you haven't talked to in months and knows nothing about ducks will immediately send an article about how family raised poultry cause a big increase in cases of salmonella? According to her I should not let the little cuties sit on my lap or whatever...

I'd NEVER leave her out in the open. She has left two eggs by the fence. If I move her eggs into a plastic dog crate where I can lock the door at night or move them back into the duck house would that cause her to no longer want to set on them? If I really feel she is going to set, I want...

Hi. I have a question. One of my ducks has laid some eggs next to our fence. So far I have found two eggs. It I do leave them and some more eggs join the group do you think one of the gals is thinking of making a nest? If she does, she would be out in the open at night and I don't want...

This is Trumpet. She is one of my new adoptees. We had to put a colored zip-tie on her leg so my husband could tell her apart from our other Fawn and White Fire Fawn. She does live up to her name but she isn't as loud as my Blue Runner Smoke.

She is SO adorable. I have 3 runners and really would like a couple more. I usually adopt my ducks. I did manage to get one in the last batch. Had to put a colored zip-tie on her leg since she looked just like another one I already had.

Hi everyone. My name is Yvette and I already have 11 ducks (5 adopted) and am thinking of getting a couple geese this spring. What would I need special and if you'd give me tips and info on goose ownership, it would be very much appreciated. Merry Christmas!

One of drake's high libido has lead to some of the ladies having pulled neck feathers. I have separated him with three gals he ignores. Idiot is still ignoring them. Like a guy, if the gals want him, he ignores them and if they don't want him, he can't leave them alone. The pulled...

My Khaki female's legs and bill are both a darkish charcoal color. I don't have a Khaki males but I they have greenish bills and orangish legs. There won't be any clue as ducklings. Those change later. Your first clue will probably be when they are around three or four weeks old. The...

That's my problem with going my the "lake." All those domestic ducks just break my heart. A week ago my husband asked if I wanted to go get a burger and eat it by the "lake," I had to tell him, "No." It was the answer he expected. He ate there a few weeks ago and it even hurt his heart...

Too bad the Lucky Duck isn't closer. I have contacted the country animal control. They are going to contact me if any ducks need homes. I also wrote an article for the local paper urging people not to purchase live animals for Easter baskets. I might check with the city police station about...

Does anyone know of any duck rescues in Northern California? I'd like to rescue some from the "lake" in town but I don't want to get arrested so I'll have to go with a rescue I have adopted two ducks a few months ago. Once I expand the duck house, I hope to adopt a few more.
