Hello! I’ve heard female ducks can turn to males although it’s rare! But our boy he’s almost 1 yr now, he looks like he’s turning into a girl. Is it possible? He still sounds like a boy though. His name is Muffin! He used to have a full green head but not very shiny but now it’s like this and...

I want to plant a flower garden again! I have a list of plants and I’m not sure if they are toxic to my ducks. Will these flowers be fine to use? My ducks won’t be near them, not in it, (unless I’m watching them) but just incase they do I want to make sure they are safe! :)
