Hello Everyone!
I'm in Oahu and have two pet ducks! I want to get more ducklings to raise but haven't found a place that sells live ducklings other than at pet stores from time to time. Unfortunately the pet stores mainly sell only muscovies or mallards and I am looking for a little more...
Hello everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted my concerns, which I believe is a good thing because it means my duck has been growing steadily and healthily. However recently I, along with my siblings, have noticed that there are these bugs crawling around on my duck's feathers...
Please help! Recently, I was petting my duckling and just running my hand through her fur when I noticed a little bump where her stomach is. I was concerned because I have never felt it before and I'm genuinely concerned as to where she could have gotten it. I held her up to inspect what it...
Do chickens follow behind you or walk in front? If my duck sees something strange in front of him, like a leash, he makes a break for it. So maybe I need someone to walk in front of him and me in the back holding the leash instead. That way it won't be in his viewpoint
Thanks for the idea everyone!
I do have a leash. He has a loop near the base of his neck on the diaper where you can hook a leash through. However he's horrible with the diaper even though we've put it on him since he was a baby, thats why I didnt want to put it on him outside since he has to...
Hello Everyone,
So I wanted to take my duck out for a walk in the neighborhood for some exercise but worried about people identifying him as a wild duck even though he follows closely behind me. I was thinking maybe a tiny color or something like that but he doesn't really like things being...
Hi everyone!
So duck has transitioned from duckling to duck now and I am still feeding him all purpose crumbles. The local store doesn't have special feed for older ducks and they said that they feed the older ducks the crumbles as well. But I've noticed that my duck has a hard time eating the...
Hello Everyone,
So my duckling and ducks after preening leave a bunch of dandruff white specks all over the floor. Not sure if this is normal and just wanted to check with all of y'all to see if it is. If its not is there any way to get rid of it?
Thanks!
Thanks for the ideas everyone!
I will try various things and see if he eats. His sister was eaten by a mongoose that somehow got into our garden one day. We were outside letting them play in the grass and then faster than we could react, it snapped the neck of his sister and dragged her down a...
Hello everyone!
My ducking is about a month old now but he won't eat his all purpose crumbles. After his sister passed away, he ate less and less. But now he's eating normally just not his regular food. He'll rapidly eat the snacks we give him like meal worms and koi food, fruits and vegtables...
What does your waterer look like? Maybe the water isn't deep enough for them to blow their noses in constantly to get rid of all the icky stuff stuck in there. Although there might not be visible discharge, ducks do need adequate amounts of water to blow their noses in on the daily basis...
Thanks everyone for the warm wishes and concern! I guess I can live vicariously through all of you by reading your stories and looking at duckling pics on here. That will at least satisfy me until I can have ducks again.
Name:Dusk
Age: 2 weeks
Breed: Rouen
Other: Dusk got his name due to his darker complexion when compared to his sister Dawn, the more yellow one of the two. He loves to race with his sister at breakneck speed down hallways and is an avid high jumper (I think he's a shoe-in for the olympics)...
Welcome to the Duck family! What a great way to be asked to prom, gotta give her props :thumbsup. But ducks aren't nearly as cuddly when their older as they are when they're young. Since they grow extremely fast, you'll soon find out how independent they can get once they're grown, so enjoy all...
Hello Everyone,
Today we will be giving away our ducks. We currently have 2 older ducks both around 3-4 months old and 2 baby ducks 2 weeks old. Our landlord has been complaining about our ducks for a few days now, even though they were okay with it in the beginning and now we have to give away...
