    Hen is biting my hand and stomping her feet

    My Rouen duck is biting my hand (not too hard) and stomping her foot while making some kind of squealing noise. I've no idea what she's doing but doesn't seem to actually want to hurt me. She's pretty tame and does not mind being picked up (if you can catch her lol).

    Is this what molting looks like?

    My drake is just over two months old now. Is this what typical molting looks like?

    Black poop. Is this normal?

    A few days ago my 3.5 week (I said 4.5 in an earlier post. Haven't been keeping good track of their age) old Rouens ate some plastic (I know for sure one did). I gave them some mineral oil and some grit the day after since it was the end of the day. I gave them some minnows as treats that day...

    Floating bubbly poop. Should I be worried?

    Should I be worried about this? I know one of my two 4.5 week old Rouens ate some plastic yesterday day if not both did. I've already given them grit and mineral oil laxatives.

    Ducks ate plastic. Need recommendations

    On their little foraging session today one of my 4.5 week old ducklings ate some plastic. One piece it ate was thin and flexible (kind of like saran wrap) smaller than my pinky joint. And another was what I assume was a piece from an old broken bucket about 1-2 mm wide and about 5mm long. I'm...

    White stuff coming from ducks

    I decided to watch my ducks groom themselves after their swim when I noticed some white stuff coming off them. Is it safe to assume it's just parts of the quill/shaft coming off? Is it part of the molting process? They're around 4-5 weeks old now.

    When do ducks quack?

    My two Rouen ducks are on the verge of 3 weeks old now. One has started to quack, well more of an uht-uht but not exactly. I haven't been able to get a video/recording because it only does that when I'm not in a position to see them. One is female and the other male. I know the supposed male is...

    Are they scared?

    Had to go out today so I put on a black track jacket as it was slightly cool outside. I look over to my 2.5 week old ducklings to tell them to behave and such and I notice them gaping their bills, peeping/quacking and backed up against their makeshift pen. It's not hot in my room so I'm just...

    Evil human stage?

    My Rouens are just about 2 weeks old now. They definitely don't like being picked up but at least the drake (Touma) bares with it as long as I have my hand under his feet. The hen (Haruka)...not so much. They seem to be ok with pets once they've nestled down in my lap but pretty much only there...

    Ducks dipping bedding into water

    I got two Rouen ducklings last week and been having a blast (most of the time) caring for them. I'm new to the duck world and would like any tips. Anyway, on to the main point. Everytime I change their water they dart over and play. I understand they love water but they also love dipping the...
