Yeah! This is completely normal. Certain ducks will sleep certain ways depending on their own preference, I had several who would sleep standing on a single leg.
I'm looking to rehome a male and a female rouen duck. I no longer am in need of a drake, but am not willing to seperate him from his friend so am willing to give up one of my females if it will make the transition easier for him. I'm not willing to ship the pair, but I'm willing to drive a...
Thanks for the response on it! Regardless of if it turns out to be a cayuga or even cayuga mutt or something I definately plan on keeping her. I raise ducks as pets so I'm not too concerned on appearance (in terms of breed standard) as long as they're healthy and happy. Glad to hear that she's...
Hello! I'm new to the breed too, but the reason I got a cayuga was because I heard they're a 'calmer' natured breed! Though maybe someone here with adult cayugas will have better input haha.
Got my Cayuga from Ideal! She's already an escape artist and is quite a little biter. My only concern is that she has a very prominent yellow bib, though honestly I'm not really sure what is typical of Cayuga duckling. Is this what they normally look like? (Sorry for bad pictures, she doesnt...
I have that exact feed that I thought I'd try out for my ducks. My ducks are very disinterested in it and seem to definately prefer their normal crumble food. They do eat it, but definately aren't as excited about eating as when they get their normal food. Maybe ducks are just picky! lol
Haha I didn't say that they were - Someone else had said that ducks cannot be sexed by their bill colors, and I just used Welsh harlequins as an example towards the fact that some breeds can be. With runners, I believe the only way to tell (without vent sexing) would be the duck's stature, voice...
To be honest, Geese aren't really 'guard' animals as much as they are 'alert' animals. A large enough racoon could easily kill a goose. Same applies to other predators. I think regardless of the number of geese you have, they'll still yell at the sight of any kind of predator that may pose a...
I coddled the heck out of my goose when she was a baby and she's still quite the sweetheart. Rather than trying to dominate me, she ''protects'' me from the ducks haha. She still sounds the alarm at anything unusual, including strangers. She's just a big goofus. I think it depends more on the...
From what I can tell my ducks really like bright leafy colored snacks, watermellon, peas, meal worms and various other treats that they get to pick apart. I think most ducklings seem to go through the "Ahhh! monsters!" phase, but usually they calm down as they get older.
Such cute ducklings though!
