    What did you do with your flock today?

    I am amazed that you can potty train them. I have only had ducks and never had any that I could do that with. Hubby used to have to load chickens onto trucks as a teenager and he has a lot of bad memories so I am only allowed ducks, never chickens. I have managed to get 26 of them though so...

    Urgent Help Needed - Chicks in process of hatching, one surviving

    Is there any way that you can secure the area that she is in? I would think they will hatch under her since she already hatched one. I have had a staggered hatch of my own but ducklings this past May with them being 7 days apart. It took 5 days of seeing but not touching and now they are...

    The Quack Shack

    I had a separate pen I put my two drakes in when I had them and they only tried to mate each other so I was fortunate. They could not see the ladies very well but could see them some. They were in an 8 by 8 pen by themselves.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    We got all of that rain here in Ohio too. We have had so much rain this summer that we are making up for last years drought. It surely does make a mess in our poultry pens.

    Call Duck Dilemma, Hen to Drake ratio

    I have Black East Indies ducks as part of my flock. I bought three ducklings off of Craigslist. I was very fortunate that my three all turned out to be hens as they were unsexed. My Call drakes prefer my Khaki Campbell and Mallard hens and even my Rouens over them. I am not sure why as they...

    Rouen Ducks

    Welcome to BYC. I had a preditor get two of my prize ducks and so I went to TSC and brought 7 of their pens plus a 10 by 10 extra pen to go with them. They are all connected together and have secure roofs over them. I have 26 ducks, all kinds. I do wait for my babies to get fully feathered...

    Larkwell Valley (2023)

    Thanks for explaining, I was confused and had never heard of a Momma Duck doing that to her baby when it was not a newborn. I hope that it recovers well for you.

    Larkwell Valley (2023)

    So sorry that this happened. So not to be stupid but to ask the Momma Duck did this to her own duckling? With it not being a newborn I was just surprised. I never knew they would go after their own when they were a bit older.

    So glad that you found out where you can get your females from. It's a blessing to have a Hen that throws off the Hens and not drakes,

    The Quack Shack

    I live in a housing development and have 26 ducks, 4 males and 22 quacking females. Three of my hens are Call ducks and can be very loud. I am blessed that my neighbors all love them and say they think it sounds like someone laughing when they all sound off. I am truly Blessed.

    The Quack Shack

    When you buy domestic Mallards the hind claw on the right foot is removed from the hatchery to prove they are domestic. It should heal and do just fine. Good luck with him.

    How to sex call ducklings by plumage colour? “Needing advice”

    So happy that you got so many females!!!! They sure are cutie pies. I just love my two I hatched out even though they look more like their Father's Pastel coloring, they are both females for sure. Funny how the offspring can look so different.

    My all White large female Muscovy is my friendliest bird as she lets me pet her all the while I am stealing the eggs under her that she thinks she is going to hatch out. I just love her.

    New outside pen

    I used to have some pens that were unsecure and used Nite Guard lites as protection from the raccoons. They worked well for over three years so I trusted them, then one night a coon got my beautiful Wood Duck and my Khaki Campbell. That was when I declared war on them and spent quite a bit of...

    New outside pen

    Lucky you guys that you have land where they are safe. We have raccoons and hawks so mine don't have that option.

    New outside pen

    Thanks, I have heard that if they are not heavy ducks they can be on wire bottoms somewhat so they will probably be just fine. I have 13 small ones and 13 big ones.
