    First egg!!

    Oh that's funny! I washed it off and it was white like a store bought chicken egg. I was surprised. I caught my buff eating the oyster shell today so I'm thinking it must be hers. She laid another this morning in a pretty little nest and had it all covered up.

    First egg!!

    This morning I was shoveling out the duck house to put in some clean, extra straw because it's going to be super cold tonight, when out came this little thing on my shovel! I was so surprised. I have two girls. A 5 month old rouen and a buff that may be a bit older, but should be close in age I...

    Rounding up the waddles

    Tonight both of my girls quickly went right in with gentle herding them with my arms out. Granted they are in a pen, not free ranging, but it was nice. I think since our new duck is from a Farm she is used to this kind of thing and our rescue seems to follow her some. So I think that helps...

    Rounding up the waddles

    I'm not sure this is all new to me! I read they need to be put to bed before dusk because of predators so usually I put my son to bed, then come out and hang out with the ducks a bit, water plants, and then put them to bed before cleaning out their water pan. Usually around sunset or so. That...

    Rounding up the waddles

    Well, tonight was interesting. I went to let my dogs out to go potty and after I was going to put the ducks to bed. Well that plan changed when as my dogs went out the door my German Shepherd went after Jimmy duck, she was out of her pen and in the yard!! He had his shock collar on and it hit...

    Rounding up the waddles

    I love the names of yours boys, that's adorable! Lol I feel like this will be quite interesting once they are free ranging. We need to put up one side of the fence before they can free range so they don't get into the neighbor's yard (and the other yards beyond that for that matter. No one has...

    Rounding up the waddles

    How do y'all get your ducks into their house for the night? I got my first duck a week ago (have 2 now) and every evening I have to chase them and grab them and put them in their house. Will they eventually do it on their own?

    First Duck house

    I did get meal worms and Jimmy ate one and refused the rest. Out of curiosity I took some to the wild ducks and they wouldn't eat them either. However this new duck was happily eating them this morning. I sat out there with them last night and this morning. Jimmy still won't come to me or eat...

    First Duck house

    Hello, I just wanted to update. It took a lot of searching but we found a friend for our girl! This evening we picked up a pretty female buff. She is very scared of me and tried to fly out of the run, my rouen has tried a few times as well. Jimmy my rouen (female), was pretty picked on before we...

    First Duck house

    She does really like to You might be right. I know Squeakers was really lost the first couple of days after we took Jimmy. I saw her just sitting by the creek alone and she would call out to Jimmy. She seems better now and hanging with the other ducks, but still a little bit off. They were so...

    First Duck house

    Thank you so much for your help, a hand mirror is a great idea. I don't have one but they are cheap, maybe I will try that. Unfortunately we are only allowed two ducks in city limits, however my HOA actually doesn't allow ducks or chickens and that didn't stop me... lol. Some neighbors down...

    First Duck house

    I think I may need to find my girl a new friend. Her sister so so scared without her, she did eat from my hand today but was super skittish and mostly kept a distance. I'm not giving up yet. However the rouen I did catch is so stressed out. She normally loves her all flock pellets but since I...
