Thank you for the advise.

The adults I just brought home are between 18-21 months old. The original ducks are about 8 months old. The babies that are with my juvenile are 3 days and the juvenile is 6 weeks. It's the 2 groups of older ducks I'm trying to integrate. The babies are separate and safe.

I just bought a flock of Ancona ducks from a woman who was downsizing. She had a bonded set of 5 hens and 1 Drake. She also had 8 ducklings. I've got them separated where they can see each other. I tried to place them together after a day but the alpha female wouldn't let my other 4 get close...

OMG that's the funniest post I've read in a long time godofpecking.

I candled my eggs last night since tonight was lock down. I had one that seemed fine last night but didn't look all that healthy when I candled it. When I came home from work tonight and took them out of the auto turner I noticed one had the same type of drops yours has. When I removed the...

I was very sad at the news as well. Poor little guy was 7 week old and never had a chance. My new does make me smile for sure.

The buck I was getting was trampled a week ago. Picked up my doe today and got a 3 week old bottle baby doe for her companion.

They are Ancona. I have a black with beetle green sheen hen, a traditional black hen, a blue hen and a silver Drake. The colors are correct but they are still kinda young so sexes may be off slightly. They are 14 weeks old as of yesterday.

My ducks finally figured out the purpose of their house. They are eager to come out in the morning and usually go back in at night by themselves when it starts getting dark and just wait for me to lock then in for the night.

This is an excerpt from a site i follow HEAT A well-secured heat lamp will be necessary to keep the ducklings warm, no matter where you decide to raise them. A red light stresses ducklings less than a white light will. You ducklings should be brooded, staring at 90 degrees the first day, and...

I also have 5 dogs. They were curious at first then really didn't pay that much attention to them after the first month.

Here's another good site http://www.fresheggsdaily.com/2012/02/basic-duckling-care-raising-healthy.html?m=1

I'm by no means an expert but I've had mine since they were 3 days old. They are now full grown happy and healthy.

The door for your duck house needs to be large enough so that 2 ducks can walk through together. They won't always do that but often enough that they'll get stuck if the opening is too small.

Welcome, how old are your ducklings? What breed? Where do you live (climate)? We need pics please.

If you're planning on making any of the walls solid I recommend pickets. You can get 4" wide by 8' tall pickets for $1.68 each. They are sturdy, weatherproof and easy to cut to the size you need.

Goofy ducks won't come out of the coop in the rain.

I got free pallets, my walls are pickets at $1.68 each and the studs are 2x3 wall studs at $1.23 each. My whole project only cost $90.

I have a fenced yard of 26' by 30' and I built this coop out of pickets, pallet wood, plywood and 2x3 wall studs. The whole thing cost about $90 total for the house. There are a ton a free pallets it here where I live.

I use straw, pine shavings, and leaves from my yard since I have an over abundance of trees.
