Hello, I had a flock of 4 now 3 females. 2 WH, 1 Khacki, 1 Pekin. This afternoon I went out to the coop to find one of my WH dead in the pond with no signs of injury other than the pond had alot of her feathers in it. She was healthy as can be the day before running around the yard and...

Hello, I currently have 2 welsh harlequin ducks and 1 KC and they are great. A family friend of a friend of a friend got a female pekin duck as a covid project and well decided 8 months later they were done with ducks so we took her in. She is sweet as can be but my other ducks are currently...

Hey guys, I have 2 WH and 2 KC Hens. Over the winter they were laying about 5-6 eggs a week. Once spring hit they molted their feathers, their colors came in alot darker and they have slowed down egg production to almost 1-2 a week, does this seem par for coarse ? We live in NJ not sure if...

I am looking for some advice in caring for our ducks in the cold weather. My pen is a Fenced in 12 x 8 with a 4x4 house in the one corner of the pen. Their pen has some water bowl heaters that keep their drinking water from freezing. The house has a hanging heat lamp and stays around 30...

I have two female kcs and 2 female whs. I want to add 1 drake this spring. Anyone have any recommendations to what breed would be best ? I ask because I had two Pekin Drake's and they beat the crap out of the girls non stop and they were like twice the size. I'm thinking a smaller breed drake...

Quick question, My ducks have a house with alittle duck door that leads into their run. I have a heat lamp in the house that keeps it about 15 degrees over the temp outside. Tonight its supposed to be about 11 degrees should i lock the ducks in the house or will they be smart enough to just...

First off let me paint a picture for you. We have 6 Ducks 2 Female Khackis - 17 weeks old 2 Male Pekin - 17 weeks old 2 Female Welsh Harlequins - 5.5 weeks old The one drake, (lets call him jack) is clearly the dominate drake and he is almost obsessed with the 2 khacki females. If the...

Both ducks were sexed from Metzer farms as Female before they came to us and they both are very loud so were still assuming they are both female :)

I have a question about one of my ducks. One of my pekins is about 11 weeks old. Has no Drake feather but also doesn't quack loud. My other Pekin doesn't quack loud but has a very apparent Drake feather. Should I assume the duck without the Drake feather is a female?

Hey update on our welsh harlequin ducklings. We purchased two females, but they seem to be showing different colors. One of them has always had a bit of a darker face and now the bill and feet are a lot darker in color than the other duckling. If anyone has raised these before and can help...

We got two more ducklings to hopefully even out the Drake to Hen Ratio. Here are the two new Welsh Harlequins. These two are ALOT more friendly than the Pekin and the Khacki Campbells we have. They love being around people and chirp up a storm if you leave their sight. Little video of...

Hey guys!!! I am pretty sure we ended up with 4 boy ducks .... what are the odds. They are about 8 weeks old both Pekins have from the looks of it a little drake feather and neither of them really quack. Both of my Khacki's are both darker on their backs. We have a 4x4 house inside of a 8x12...

Has anyone had any trouble using pea gravel as bedding for the duck runs ? I had grass/dirt which turned to shit pretty quick, i threw down a bag of pine shavings to be a temporary fix. Looking to use pea gravel but wanna get some feedback

Alright so now that the house/pen is done I am starting the next project which is the duck pond. I am thinking about doing something like the image i uploaded. My idea is to do it in a trex so it doesnt rot away and to build it off the ground like this to give me the ability to put a ball...

A few weeks ago I put up a post asking how to build a good duck house and here are our results. I think it came out pretty good :) The total size is 8x12 with a 4x4 enclose house inside. One door for us to access the house and another door for us to access the pen. Hardware cloth has been...

Does anyone here raise Guineas with Ducks? I am very new to ducks but I actually wanted to get Guineas prior to the ducks and was curious of how they interact together.

I am about a week away from moving my ducklings outside to their house/coop run. I have been raising them in an extra bathtub with pine shavings. Their house is roughly a 4x4 house inside of a 8x12 run. Should i just leave dirt/grass as the floor in the run ? Should i try to put something...

I am building a deck area with a cutout that a pond/pool can rest into. This way i can put plumbing on the bottom of the pond/pool without having to dig it out in the ground. I want to put something on the wood up top aroudn the pond and the ramp to keep the ducks feet from getting splinters...

Hello, I recently bought 4 ducklings from tractor supply they old me they were pekin ducks. Two of them are yellow and two of them are brown. I did some research and it looks like the brown ones are not pekin. This pic is about 2 weeks old and the yellow ducklings are about twice that size...
