    These are my first babies!! I got the first two for my girls the day before Easter. They were dyed green and orange. We got the two mallards the next weekend. I had no idea what I was getting in to or how fast ducks grow!! They have quickly become part of the family and we just added four...

    new to turkeys - have a few questions

    A friend of my husband called us last night - he knows that we have pet ducks - 1 male & 1 female mallard and their brand new 8 babies! I keep them in a 10 x10 x 6 covered kennel at night and they free range during the day. This friend has 4 baby turkeys - not sure how old they are, he just...

    Does drake need to be separated from baby ducks?

    I don't know about the WH but my mallard just hatched 8 babies this weekend - I kept them locked up away from dad all day Saturday, Saturday night but I let them all out Sunday morning. He follows them around and helps herd them back to momma if one tries to stray. He is a good daddy - no...

    possible blind newly hatch mallard

    We had 8 mallards hatch over the weekend. One appears to be blind. It follows momma and siblings - apparently by sound, and is eating and drinking but is occasionally getting lost/left behind. Both eyes are solid milky white. Is this baby blind? Someone suggested it may be the third eyelid...

    Babies born!! see the cuteness! 8 babies but one is blind

    I looked through my pictures and found two pictures of the baby in question. The first is easy to see the milky white eyes. In the second picture, it is the one on the top left. I am assuming by its actions and the solid white eyes, that it is blind....

    Quote: Thank you! You can see in the picture with mom & dad with the babies, it is the one closest to mom....it eats and drinks and follows them all but gets lost easily. Dad actually did a great job last night of herding that one to the nest - the others were already in but this one was...

    Babies born!! see the cuteness! 8 babies but one is blind

    A month or so ago, I lost all but 2 of my ducks. I was blessed during this nighmare that the two that remained were a pair of mallards - Nana and Boom-Boom - she started a nest, and I decided to let her have a go at it....Friday night we had our first baby and the other 7 were hatched off and...

    Arkansas folks speak up.........

    Quote: Possession of wood ducks is a federal felony. You need to contact AFG at 800-364-4263 and ask for a Migratory Bird Rehabilitator. Then voluntarily turn the ducklings over to them. If you continue to possess them beyond this and are caught you can be fined and/or imprisoned...

    I just found 11 baby woodducks - can't be more than a few days old, walking down Main Street in my town. The momma has been hit by a car and is dead. I have all the babies in a large box with towels in the bottom. I went and bought game bird crumbles, and a quart size plastic poultry waterer...

    tragic death yesterday....

    Quote: I was very attached to her and to find her that way....I can't bear the thought of that happening again. I know this young man will love them as much as I do - he definately has a heart for the waterfowl. He isn't new to them - so they are going to a better place - alive and thriving....

    tragic death yesterday....

    I have made the decision to give my remaining "babies" to a 4-h'r that will provide them more love and time than I have been able to. It is a hard decision - I love my ducks and I want what is best for them. Thank you all for the concern and support that you have shown to be during the past...
