I just yell ducky ducky ducky come on! They come flapping and waddling along. Quaking and hissing at me for food. The chickens get chook chook chook come on! And the horses get their names and come on! They are respond well and come when called. Id say its the tone of the 'come on' they respond to.

What is the best ratios of females to males to have for everyone to be happy?

Will do. I cant wait to get our own place. Id love to give them i noce big natural dam to swim in. Plus i wouldnt mind getting into natural organic duck farming. Do you know if ducks will mix breed if kept in the same area or do they generally stick to their own breed. We are looking at getting...

Thanks. We will see how bossy they get but my original hens are sitting on more eggs again so should have more hatchlings towards the end of the month. Also looks like we wont have to move till early next year so hopefully that will give us some time to save so we can buy our own place without...

Just a quick update on my first babies. Growing strong and almost as big as the adults now. Out of the 5 that survived the ordeals and trial and errors, im pretty sure we ended up with 4 boys and 1 girl.

They have scratch mix, scraps from the kitchen plus i usually give them a can of corn and a cucumber and zucchini(they go nuts over it) cut up. Lettuce if i have some to spare, tomatoes. Actually whatever salad stuff i have. They usually get a salad a day. Also the ends of the bread from inside...

I have 3 females, 1 drake and 5 roughly just over mth old ducklings. Yesterday i noticed one of the females was plucking the tail feathers from the ducklings and eating them. She is quite aggressive when she does this and their poor little tails have bleeding spots where they have been plucked...

I wont know till the time comes Miss Lydia but i will surely be doing my best to make it so :-)

Update: we didnt find the ducks but we did find a small hole under the fence which we think the little ones may had gone under and the dogs have gotten to them. We have 6 left now. Although we have just found out this week that we will have to move in about 6mths so our breeding will have to...

Australia. Its the first day of summer today and unfortunately i have been in hospital with my daughter the last 2 days and my fiance just rang and said we only have 7 ducklings in the yard and he cant find the others. Not sure whats happened. Whether mum has stashed them somewhere cause it was...

Not the best of pics but we have about 12 hatch from this clutch so far :-)

Unfortunately it didnt make it. Even sadder the next day i found my 3yr old out in the pen and 5 ducklings dead. I think he was too rough with them. Very sad and lesson learnt on my part. But we still have 5 from that nest left and our black muscovy's nest has started to hatch today. She has 9...

Hi. Just needing some help with some of my muscovy ducklings. Most have hatched fine with my duck and hen mummies. Last night when i went to check on them i had 10 already hatched, with 2 starting to hatch (beak poking out) 2 more with shell starting to crack and another 4 with nothing much...
