    Duck run extending into pond

    I want to build a run for my 7 ducks but they’re used to having a yard and pond to play in. I want to build a run to keep them safe but I still want them to have access to the pond at all times during the day. Has anyone ever built a run that extends into a pond or does anyone have any idea on...

    Ducks and Geese Disappearing

    This summer, three of my ducks disappeared within a matter of two weeks. Then, two more disappeared a couple of months ago. They have all disappeared sometime in the middle of the day. Not a trace was left of them. No feathers (or any extra that I could tell when they were molting). They are...

    African goose genders?

    I got these two geese yesterday and they’re a little over a year old. I was told one was a boy and one was a girl but they seem so alike I want to make sure. Here’s videos and pictures each goose. What do y’all this each one is? Goose #1: Goose #2: Goose #1 is on the left and goose #2 is...

    What age is my duck?

    I recently got two ducks. One is a Rouen and I’m assuming she’s on the younger side. However, I’m not so sure about the other. I think she is maybe a Blue Swedish mixed with an Indian Runner? I’m really not sure about her age, though. The guy I got her from said they were both one year old. That...

    Two ducks with the same cut on their bill

    Two different ducks got this same shaped cut on their bills. The one not pictured had no bump, however, a deeper and bloody cut. It turned into a scab it fell of. She’s healed now but today I noticed the same cut on this duck. Plus the bump. Does anyone know what could have caused this?

    Duckling pipped but hasn’t hatched in almost 72 hours

    I’m hatching a Pekin/Mallard egg and it’s hatch date was this Tuesday. It pipped Sunday night but now it’s Wednesday evening and it hasn’t done much more at all. It is moving right now but it’s not making much more progress. Should I help it since it’s been so long?

    Ducks won’t get out of pond at night

    My ducks normally would go to their coup in the evening on their own however lately since they’ve been hanging out in the pond all day, they refuse to go to bed. I try to coax them out of the pond but the won’t get out and I swear they even mess with me by swimming up like they will and then...

    Younger ducks getting feathers plucked out

    I recently got two Khaki Campbell ducks and now they’re fully feathered and seemed to get along okay with the older ones however lately I’ve noticed some feathers missing on their chests. And the others will occasionally bite at them. I hoped it wasn’t a big deal but I guess it got a lot worse...

    Duckling possibly stung in mouth by wasp

    Few hours ago I was outside with my ducks when all of a sudden one started whipping her head around really aggressively and I noticed something in her mouth. I was to busy checking on her I didn’t pay much attention to it but I think I saw yellow or orange and I’m wondering if it was a yellow...

    Any DIY Duck/Chicken coop ideas?

    My ducks are currently living in a shed of mine during the night but I will need to move them out soon. I want to build them a coop for them to go in at night to keep them safe (mostly from Coyotes). I would rather not buy one because all that I’ve seen are expensive. I was wandering if anyone...

    My duck swallowed my earring.

    Last night, I was leaned down by my ducks and one reached up and grabbed my earring out of my ear. He swallowed it before I could get it from him. I’ve been reading threads from people with this same/similar problem and have been trying to take the advice they were given. I’ve been hand feeding...
