Mama to two little chickies :)

Hey guys! I’m back. My mom has grown attached to the ducks we have, even though we have to get rid of them due to the neighbors saying they’re too loud and noisy. She loves the ducks and she wants more after we give them the ones we have to correct homes. What duck breeds are the quietest and...

They said it was due to fly problems. In my opinion I don’t think that the flies are horrible. :(

I want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who has given me advice since the beginning of May. Helping me gather information on how to take care of poultry. But I’ve been informed that the HOA doesn’t allow them and the neighbors are going to turn this into a legal battle if we don’t...

I’m in Mesa, AZ

Hey guys. I know I’m on here a lot, but I honestly love the BYC community and I’m so grateful for all of you! I do have a question though. How do I get rid of the smell and the flies around my ducks so that the neighbors will stop complaining?! I love my babies and they come to me every morning...

This is a picture of the (not finished) coop. They have their water, shade, we add frozen grapes into the water, clean it out, put down diotomatious earth, then put dry dirt on top of it. I let the ducks out and roam free range to eat and graze on the grass. I also have electrolytes and...

We’ve gotten my flock down from 10 to 5 ducks. 5 are going to Montana to a sanctuary with one of my moms co-workers. Today, 06/23/18, the neighbors had a chat with my father about smell. Saying that it was horrid. We’ve moved them into an enclosure away from the houses. My mom is also buying fly...

So, the ducks made a huge mess in their room the other night and we have them outside now. Currently it is 107. We have them in a child’s playhouse, there is a hole in the side so they can get in and out of, and they have a kiddie pool. I also put in a paint pan that has water and bricks in it...

Look at how big they are! A handful still chirp, but most of them are getting their adult voices. I have one who quakes with the other ducks and chirps around me lol.

My Pekins are about 3wks old and are already starting to get some feathers. Only around their wings and tails. When will they be fully feathered?

Nothing in the pen no. I do let them swim around in the tub whenever I clean it out though.

This is Pond. She’s about 2wks old. I noticed that the cut she originally had, has gotten worse. Not in a ‘infected’ sort of way. But in a ‘another attack’ sort of way. Did one of the other ducks do this?(all the same age). Or was it a cat? (nobody else is harmed).

Coming up on two weeks this Wednesday.

I have 10 baby Pekin Ducklings and I love them all. They follow me around when I clean their brooder and cuddle with each other around the water. My mom, however, has decided that our flock is too big and wants to give 7 of them away. I told her they’re flock animals. Should we give some away...

Today I let the babies get their feet wet in the tub :) They enjoyed it a lot. I noticed that some of them weren’t as wet as some of the others? Does that mean some of them get their oil coating earlier?

The two that have imprinted on me.

So sorry for not being on for so long. But my 10 ducklings got here last week Wednesday!! 2 of them are Crested Pekins, one of which is named Frederick. Frederick and a non-Crested have imprinted on me and think the world is ending if I leave their sight. All babies are happy and healthy and...

I did! All 10 of them have survived :)

They’re here!!
