Yes, she is attached to us for sure. I have considered her being a house duck but im not sure how she would like it. She has a pool she spends most of her time in now and loves to swim (of course).
Thank you! I havent seen any snapping turtles out there and honestly did not even think of that so thank you!
Do you put the mirror in with her at night? Or should she be able to access it during the day?
Okay, so my girl is doing awesome. She is so full of life. We still have not purchased any duck friends for her as we are still weighing the options.
s.
There she is!!
I had a few questions.
As far as treats go.. what do you reccomend and how are they served? Frozed? Cooked?
I know someome...
So, i have one duck. A pekin who is almost 2 months old. Her duckling friends died when something got in their pin. She was the only one to survive. Im trying to make the best of my situation and im just looking for a little guidance. So this is her current set up:
She has a fenced in circle...
I have looked in my area for an older duck but i may need to broaden my search to a few different locations.
during the day she is fine. We have her in a fenced in area with her pool, food, and water. Plus there are eyes on her almost constantly.
Awe, sounds like youre doing great. This is my first time raising ducks as well and it has been such an adventure. I first let my little ones splash around in a big bowl when they were 3 days old. They LOVED it. We eventually graduated to a small pool. Id let them swim around for as long as they...
We have completely moved the chicken and duck house. It has been totally redone and its taken the better part of three days. There is a seperate area for the ducks as well which we are also doing over. This attack happened the very first night that they were outside. :( they were only 6 weeks...
I do think she is lonely. I spend as much time as i can with her but nights are the worst. I am definitely considering getting her a friend but i am unable to find her just one. I can order from the hatchery but i will have to buy three day olds. I dont know if i have enough room for for ducks...
So the rouen died. I now just have my one baby girl.
She is now incredibly attached to me.. which i figured would happen.
So her eye seems to be getting better. When the attack first happened she looked like she had bite marks on het head. Her eye was swollen shut and now its starting to get...
My three beautiful ducks were attacked the night before last. They were all hurt. My Khaki Campbell was killed, leaving my Rouen and Pekin left with injuries and both very traumatized.
My Pekin is acting pretty normal considering the mess. The Rouen on the other hand... we do not think she will...
This is my KC. She is 2 weeks old. This is my first time raising ducklings and so far it has been quite the learning experience! She is really calm and sweet.
Thank you. I am new to this. These are my first ducklings and im worried. Lol.
I read that ducks only need the heat lamp from 2 to 6 weeks. Do they show any signs when they are cold?
They spend most of their day being active. We go to the pool, walk around the yard. Then come in for the...
Im not sure how warm it is exactly. They do have space to get out of the light right now and are rarely directly under it. The box isnt that big though. They are growing very fast!
Please help! I have a 2 week old duckling who is acting strange. Today i checked in on her and she had her beak open and was making soft but strange sounds. She was also breathing weird. I taking quick breaths.
I dont know what panting looks like. I thought she could have been too warm but i...
i am sorry to hear about your duck. i dont have much experience with this situation but i do have a chicken with a deformed beak. We didnt know for a long time if she would make it becauae she couldnt pick up food like the rest of the chickens. Im glad to say that today she is alive and healthy...
hello!! i am brand new here and wanted to introduce myself. I have 3 small ducklings which is the main reason i am on this site. I have never raised ducks before and this is a whole new experience for me! i also have 22 chickens! i will be asking lots of questions and showing off my ducks as...
I have a question about my 3 day old KC. She is very sweet. Already tell that she is calm and cuddly. I have her, a Pekin and a Rouen. Are they okay to be together? They do not seem to pick on each other. They are all the same size now but from what I've read, my KC will be the smallest. I am...
