Thank you so much, again. I respect your experience with these guys, and appreciate your input. I just wish we could offer him more of an adjustment period, where he could be around other ducks like him, and take off when he’s ready, rather than be alone (in a perfect world). We were hoping to...
Hi Chicalina,
Thank you so much for your reply! I understand everything you’re saying, and we’ve been back and forth about this. We can’t get any good guidance from the wild life places here in Fl, because they don’t want Mallards released. My only concern for him is that he has only been around...
Hi! Thank you so much for your reply. Where in Tennessee are you? If you are seriously considering this, we have family in North Carolina, and are willing to take a road trip for the right home. 😊
Hi!
I know it’s been awhile since I posted this. Thank you, again, for your previous reply. I am reaching out to see if you are still interested in adding to your flock. We are still trying to find Lucky a great home, and doing so in Florida is proving to be very difficult. Apparently, in...
Good morning!
Last night my daughter and I noticed a couple of worms in our Duck’s bath/swim water. They were tiny (not even 1/2 inch, and skinny like a pin) brown/tan In color. He is a mallard, his living conditions are very clean, and he comes inside at night. Any idea on what they could be...
Hello everyone,
Without sharing the long back story...
My family rescued and hatched a Mallard duck egg that was left on our pool deck. When we originally took this on, we had no plan to keep him (we think he is a drake) as we live in a suburb and do not have the land and set up that we...

Good afternoon,
Our 9 week old Mallard has somehow injured his leg. Two days ago (this past Tuesday) he came out of his pen limping terribly, at first barely able to put pressure on his left leg at all, walking a couple steps then laying down. There were no problems at all prior to this...
Hi!
If I am reading the information correctly, the recommended amount of niacin for ducklings is 55mg per pound of food (per Metzer Farms). I have two different bags of food and they both say they contain 25mg per pound. I have nutritional yeast I have been adding to the feed, but want to make...
Hi!
My family recently rescued and hatched an abandoned Mallard duckling. The duckling is 6 days old and appears to be doing great. Being a newbie at this, I have read and prepared tons, and therefore worry about everything that could go wrong. I want to make sure we are giving him or her the...
