I am trying to introduce my runner who is very human and dog bonded but less so duck bonded.
Generally i exoect dolores, my big ancona female to attack because shes very alpha and kind of a jerk ♀️ but today she didnt do that she just stood patiently looking at the runner(trixie)
However, the...
Literally all the rescues are out of ducks at the moment. We rescued the last from a crappy farm but they only had one female left and she was a little beat up and scared so i took her. I ended up picking up this runner. Dolores was very accepting of the mixxed breed we rescued
I have a 3 bird limit where i live. I just lost my heart, sweet pete was my other ducks mate. I got her a new female friend to help her along. I just wanted to know if i should get a 3rd? I know ducks are flock oriented social animals so im just not sure what to do. Is 3 too many? They are in a...
Im sure she will o.o shes mixed with 2 ducks that can fly. My ancona cant fly so ive never had to clip the wings how old are they when you need to start clipping?

Im not so much concerned about production at this point. Just want them to be happy. Ill do anything to make sure my babies are happy. I found out the ducks this woman has are muscovy mixed with ancona so if she has a female available i may just go with that option in the hopes that she may bond...
My precious male pete passed away. Its been very very hard for me and for his mate. He was a very gentle boy so i worry about getting her another male who may be agressive... she was more of petes protector than the other way around.
Should i get her a duck of the same breed? And should i get...
