    Ducks refuse new duck food

    Thanks everyone! I'd of loved to been able to gradually switch the feed but didn't know they'd just stop making the duck feed I was using! :( I will keep it in mind to not wait to get more feed until I'm already out though! I'm not sure about using fermented feed, I'll have to do some looking...

    Ducks refuse new duck food

    So my spoiled rotten ducks refuse to eat duck food.. The place I had been getting their food stopped stocking duck food so I bought some chicken food to replace it. They will not touch it. It'd been days of them refusing to eat, quacking very loudly at me to feed them with full bowls of food at...

    I feel bad collecting my ducks eggs

    Thank y'all for the response. I check them daily but Cleo is getting great at hiding her eggs. They roam free in my gardens and have been nesting underneath my plants. She moved her nest to an even more hidden area and I thought maybe it was just too hot for her to lay eggs the last week...

    Duckquaponics

    Has anyone had any success setting up a duckquaponics system? I would love to grow some duck food that would also filter their pond water. I have two buff ducklings so the system wouldn't need to be too complex. I was thinking a small kiddie pool fitted with a water pump and running through a...

    Duckling's eye won't close all the way.

    I just bought two buff ducklings and one of them can't close her eye all the way. She can close one but the other stays part way open when she's sleeping. I'm worried it might cause damage to her eye. Should I try eyedrops? I can't seem to get a good picture and nothing else appears wrong with...
