I haven’t posted for quite some time. My mother is and mentally challenged niece have come to live with us a little bit as my mom recovers from a stroke she had in July, and over the holidays, we found out she has cancer. My ducks have been my happy place when I feel overwhelmed, which is often...

I have an all drake flock. I lost my female, and didn’t realize how badly losing her would hurt. My drakes were overly aggressively mating the other females, who were too young, therefore, I rehomed the females and the one male they were with and I had 5 drakes but one disappeared in the middle...

Personally, I wouldn’t take her off the eggs. We hatched a couple batches that also said 28 days for our Pekin duck, these were hybrid eggs, not sure if that mattered. We did have to incubate, as our Goldie didn’t have any interested in sitting on hers. Ours didn’t begin to hatch until day 31...

Yes it is… I definitely want to see, as often as possible and hear the outcomes. What day are you on?

I’m hoping someone might read this. Our nearest vet that will treat our ducks is about 2 hours away. I do have Polycin ophthalmic ointment; I also have Mupirocin ointment, and I have a triple antibiotic ointment as well. I have an all drake flock 4 in total. Their house has been split in half...

I know this is an old post but the epsom salt helps alleviate some of the pain for the ducks. I have always found the easiest way is an epsom salt soak. I get a small bucket, like I think it’s a 3 gallon one, add really warm water and epsom salt…I put my baby’s bottom in so his feet are...

I enjoyed reading all the names and know this post is old but wanted to share our Waddle House with everyone…ours is called the Waddle House. One side belongs to our Khaki Campbell, Chocolate & Mallard, Half-Pint, their side is called Pint O’ Choc and the other side is for our Rouen ducks, we...

So very happy. I wish I would find my Midnight

The same thing happened with my Cayuga duck the night before last between 2-5:00 am. We have woods behind our house and it’s been a while since I’ve heard any coyotes but owls, we do have them. There were 3 of my ducks out but the Cayuga was the biggest and slowest. I didn’t see any coyote...

I googled Coyote and owl deterrent last night and it had some ideas.

I had a flock of 5 drakes, each a different breed. Three stayed outside and 2 inside, the 2 inside-Frankie & Johnny just never integrated outside well. Outside I had a beautiful black iridescent Cayuga, Midnight and the largest of the three; Mallard, Half-pint, the smallest of the three; Khaki...

Looking to Rehome As much as this pains me to do, my husband and I originally started with 4 little 2-day old orphaned ducks, what we thought were 2 males and 2 females and each a different breed; we had 3 males and one female. We hoped we would hatch additional females and we did, the...

Thank you

Update: While Lucky is improving slowly but surely. My husband & I have reached a difficult decision. We’re going to go ahead and rehome the 4 hens & their brother, Jack-he just looks like a Jack. They’re so close we would hate to separate the 5, and Jack is definitely in charge of the...

OMG…Thank you..Thank you…Thank you sooo much. I’m definitely going to let my husband know. We moved into this house about 4 years ago and didn’t want or plan to do much with the backyard. Now, we have grandkids, which they’re outdoor toys are in our front yard, which is just as big as the back...

Thank you.

We use DuMor All-Flock for feed, our ducks seem to enjoy it more that the Nutrena. Our feed store only carries the Nutrena All Flock so we go to Tractor Supply for the DuMor. I do hope your ducks get better. We had the start of bumblefoot on one of our ducks and used the epsom salt soaks, which...
