I have 2 pekin drakes and 2 pekin females. I keep the girls with one of the drakes in the coop and the other drake stays on the other side of the coop. The drake that the females stay with doesn’t seem to mistreat them or anything, not that i can tell anyway. The other drake can really horny and...

I let the ducks outside today and one of my hens wanted to go back in the coop to sit on her eggs. The problem is, i can’t have anymore ducks. I gave away most of my other ducks bc there were too many (especially bc they were boys) and I now have 4 ducks left. I don’t have any fertile chicken...

I haven't rehomed them yet, but someone is interested in adopting(whatever you wanna call it) them. I feel so guilty and I’m already grieving over rehoming them, but I can’t take care of so many ducks anymore. I love them, but it’s a lot. I’m already crying over rehoming them. Edit: I have yet...

I want to rehome 5 of my boy ducks, but I’ve had no luck finding anyone who wants any ducks. My mom has asked around and no one wants any. I have a good mind to try out craigslist, but I’m a little scared. I don’t really feel comfortable with trying to find them new homes on here, but any other...

I’m planning to rehome several of my boy ducks as I have too many of them. I would be left with two boys, but I have two females. I have a place where I can put the other boy duck so the girls won’t be overbred or hurt. I wanna get another female duck, would that be a good idea? I’m not really...

I know this is strange, but has anyone ever done it? Growing a garden for your ducks? Obviously growing only certain foods that they can eat. Or is there anything fun that you can make for them?

I was cleaning out the coop today while the ducks were hanging out outside and one of my hens kept making this noise and she wanted back in the coop for some reason. She’s been broody before, but idk if she’s broody again or if she just wants to breed. She insisted on making her nest in this...

I think my drake has a cold. He has his eye shut and there was something (not pus) coming out of it. I tried to clean it with some warm water. How can I help him? Currently not able to get outside right now bc it’s dark and I can’t get to the store for a while. Will this clear up on its own?

My ducks eat dumor 17% all flock pellets, but it’s sold out at every tractor supply that i’ve looked at online. I could only find one that had just a few bags left. I could only get one bag bc holy hell, shipping is crazy. My duck feed is running low and I don’t know when the new bag will be...

If so, are they affective?? How do you turn them into waterers for your ducks and how long does the water last? I’m going somewhere in a few weeks and i want my ducks to be able to have enough water to last them for 2 days. How can I convert a 5 gallon bucket into a waterer?? Are there any...

I went outside to let my ducks out today and one of my hens was sitting on her nest and she wouldn’t go out. She’s been sitting on her nest for quite awhile today. She went outside once today and that’s all. One of the males tried to mate with her and she didn’t even try to leave or anything. I...

One of my hens makes a strange noise when she’s outside and I don’t know what it means. She flirts with the boys and wants to breed with them, I know. I find her sitting on the nest sometimes, but not always. I don’t have footage of the her making the noise, but she started doing it recently. I...

I don’t have a picture of my current coop yet, but it’s about 10 ft wide and 5 ft tall. The sides are hardware wire and the roof is tin. The duckies have straw bedding with a divider to keep the boys separated from the girls. My boys started fighting about a month ago, so I’ve have to separate 2...

I wanna add on to my duck coop so I can move some of my boys bc some of them are hormonal. I was thinking about adding on to their existing coop. I wanna add a little spot in the new spot that they can sleep in so I can have spare straw and they could have a spot to roam around in. I don’t have...

I noticed a bump on the top of my hen's foot and i think it's bumblefoot. I can't afford to take her to a vet and I'm not sure what to do other than soak her foot in warm water with epsom salt. Please, what do I do if i can't afford a vet? I don't want her to die or lose her foot. I don't have a...

I bought a new gravity feeder for my girls and a drake that stays with them, but I’m not sure it holds enough feed to last a few days. It lasts for maybe a day at the most before I have to add more. My boys that live on the opposite side of the divider have a feeder that I built that holds...

My pekin hens are less than a year old and they’ve only started laying back in october or november. Lately, they haven’t been laying as many eggs lately. I only found 3 duck eggs today. I’ve been giving them oyster shells. Is it normal if they don’t lay as many eggs as before? I’ve noticed that...

Anyone got or know of any good, cheap, and secure coop ideas/plans for duckies? Preferably coops that you can build to add on to an existing coop? Or if you’re looking to add some extra space/room. I’m looking to add some extra space to my existing duck coop for some of my other duckies. My...

I’ve decided that I’m gonna rehome most of my male ducks and this is one of the hardest decisions i’ve had to make bc I love them to death, but there’s too many of them. I’m keeping 3 boys with my 2 girls that are separated. My problem is that I don’t wanna just give them to someone who wants...

2 of my pekin drakes have been fighting with each other since yesterday and I don’t know why. One of them will go around pecking the other drakes for no reason. I don’t know what to do. I can’t exactly separate them bc I don’t have another coop. The only thing I could do is put one of them with...
