    7 of the ducklings are female, we still have too many drakes for the amount of females that we have so we are trying to decide what the best option for that issue will be as well

    Aggressive Mating Drakes, Picking on New Ducklings

    Thank you for tips! Hopefully that will work, I don't want any of them to be injured. This is our first mating season with adult drakes so we are new to this!

    We have a large pond that they all swim in during the day and then we keep them separate at night time. Do you have any tips on separating them during the day?

    Please Help!! Duckling wont eat or walk!

    Please Help!! Duckling wont eat or walk!

    I believe so, when hatched he was attached to the cord so we left him and it came off on its own. In the photo above you can see the area where the bulge of the yolk sack is and as of today it is much smaller and almost completely feathered in.

    Please Help!! Duckling wont eat or walk!

    Update: no major changes, the area where the yolk sack was is slightly smaller today. He is still having a lot of trouble holding himself up and is still unable to stand or walk. One side of his body is still completely limp. We are still working on feeding him but he is not eating well.
