My female mallard duck has been quite lethargic for the last few days. She stays in her house often even though she usually comes outside and strolls in the garden, and she has less movement than normal and she doesn't seem to be eating much food. Her egg shells are soft. We don't have any male...
One of my hens have been laying soft eggs often for quite a while now and has not been molting. Because of this we have bought Oyster shell supplement for her. I have heard from somewhere that Nettex Vit Boost is also useful but I do not know if it would work on our ducks or if it is safe for...
My male mallard duck flew away yesterday morning. We went to find him but couldn’t, after over 8 hours of finding him we found him at the local car park. He was under a car. He wasn’t damaged and the local police got a broom and poked him out, he then flew even further away into a nearby pond...
So I’ve arrived back from my holiday/vacation and I was only gone for three days. Now the other two ducks seem even more unfriendly to the other duck. Our drake used to chase our female duck around if he felt she was getting ‘too much attention’. Now he just chases her around even more and bites...
I looked at another thread about this for guidance. People say to put her in darkness but to me that’s not an option for many reasons. So if you could help me please inform me and what I could do to our help my little duck. I don’t think my male is mating anymore as he is in process of changing...

These are questions for now due to rats and getting it sorted out. The exterminator will be coming so I do not need any info on getting rid of them.
1. Does a duck’s swimming pool attract rats?
2. If so, is there any way to prevent this without removing the pool.
3. What else attracts rats...
Hello we have a male duck called Belle. He is aggressive only to one of our female ducks. We have two females and one male. He won’t even let the female duck into the house when sleeping. We think that the male duck has partnered with the other female but does this mean he will be so aggressive...
Help! I went to the vets but not an avian vet and they performed a surgery on my drake to insert the penis back in the phallus but it just popped back out. We have bought Epsom salt and is going to give him a bath but that is all I know. It is not mating season but I understand they might mate...
Hi I have just started this thread because I don’t think anyone’s done this before but I’m not sure so don’t blame me. Anyway I have mallards myself but I don’t have a picture of them as present self but I do have one of my mallards, Hulk, when she was growing her juvenile feathers. She is now...
