    Thanks, but they don’t have any of these signs yet they don’t really quack and when they do I can’t tell which one did it.

    Gender?

    My three khaki Campbells are only 5 weeks old but i can’t wait any longer to find out their genders. Anyone have any idea? Probably too early to tell.

    Duck house/coop and run

    So here is the duck house/coop and run I built for my 3 ducks. I bought the house second hand online and it was quite easy to assemble. It could probably fit 6 ducks as it’s very spacious. The run is actually a dog cage I bought from farmfowl.com, it is 3m long, 1.5m wide and 1.5m tall. The...

    Locking up at night

    Thanks for the advice. I live in Ireland in the city where the only common predators would be foxes, we don’t have raccoons, ferrets etc.

    Locking up at night

    It’s a dog cage I bought online that’s made of galvanised steel, similar to this pic, I added chicken wire on top to make the holes smaller. There is also chicken wire on the ground to stop animals digging and also a brick wall built underground to act as a barrier.

    Locking up at night

    So I have 3 ducks who are nearly a month old that have just started living outside. So far I have been locking them into their coop overnight but they really hate being stuck in there, 11pm-9am. I hear ducks like to wake up at the crack of dawn. Would it be a better idea to leave their door open...

    Ducklings outdoors

    thanks for the help, my daytime temperature is around 65F and nighttime 52F. That’s almost the hottest it will get all year round in my country. Maximum 77 mid summer.

    Ducklings outdoors

    I want my ducklings to move outdoors ASAP because they get cabin fever inside and there’s so much cleaning to do. They are just over 2 weeks old and have grown quite big. I know technically I should wait until they’re 8 weeks but can I gradually get them outdoors sooner? For example live outside...

    Heat lamp for ducklings

    My ducklings are only 2 weeks old but they have completely lost interest in the heat lamp and no longer use it. Does this mean they are ready to live outside? They don’t seem to shiver or get cold outside either.

    Ducklings sneezing

    I don’t keep a pool of water in their habitat because I don’t want them to drown when unsupervised but I let them swim in deep water once a day

    Ducklings sneezing

    2 of my 3 ducklings have been sneezing for the last few days, they are nearly 2 weeks old. I noticed there is also a whistling noise from their nostrils when they sleep like a snore from a blocked nose maybe. What is wrong and how can I fix it? For some reason they sleep away from their heat...
