I have 4 hens and one drake. 4 were introduced to the drake about a month ago and had no problems but now the Rouen drake has become very aggressive towards one of the females (also a Rouen) Looking for any advice.

Hey y’all. Greetings from SC

thanks, but I prefer not to go thru the let stage if possible.

Thought I might add that the house has 2 doors. If a coon comes in, they have an escape route. (This happens)

My ducks do well in a 43 acre lake. I built a floating house that they use. Since I’m in the woods, predators are abundant. Somehow, they do alright.

Heard you are in SC. Wondering if you have a male duck that needs a home. I have 2 lonely females.

Looking for a male companion for my female(s) buff and Rouen. Would prefer a khaki Campbell but open. I’m in the western SC area. Fingers crossed!

I have a wild duck that lays small eggs. They weigh about 2 oz.

My ducks just laid an egg that has a shell so soft that it's flexible. This is the first soft egg. Others have all been thick shells. Ducks are a little over 1 year old. Does this just "happen"?

Well, I raised some last summer with hopes that I could "replace" an aging KC that lived on our lake for 14 years. I let them "out" onto the lake on Labor Day last year They were 12 weeks old. They seem to be happy. I keep a floating house for them about 20 feet from shore. It has a...

Are theses wild mallards or did you raise them? I have a wild duck that has moved in with my rouens and she laid and egg this morning. Wondering if it's ok to eat. The rouens have been laying for a couple of months. We eat those. But not sure about the wild eggs.

Huh. Mine are really picky! Won't eat anything unfamiliar. I wish they would.

Wow. One of my Rouens just laid a 4.5 oz egg! It's a monster. Glad it didn't get stuck!

So, if birds can have it and not show symptoms, it's not an issue? Unless they die? I think i see why you would need to get that under control in production scenarios but other than taking the preventative steps, us BYCers need to carry on? Shouls we stop eating the eggs? Is there something I...

Can anyone help me identify this wild duck? It has befriended my Rowens and Buff. It can fly but seems to be happy enough to stay.

On a lake in Mountain Rest

Very interesting. We have lots of Hawks, owls, coyotes, raccoons etc. ducks are out all day and night.

Not sure how they manage. We have had a KC living at our lake for 13 years now. I added some Buffs and Rouens last fall and they are doing great.

Here's a pic of my duck house. I made it with two doors so that if a predator were to come in they could get out the other door. I put Layena feed inside the feeder. They are in and out all day every day snacking. It has four nest boxes and the roof is hinged to make it easy to get the...
