In regards to brain eating I have no idea for ducks, but I used to work at a pet store and when a hamster would die the others would open the skull and eat the brains. During training we were informed of this behavior in the animals and were told that there is some chemical in the brain that...

Thank you for all your replies I really like the idea of luring natural eagle enemies such as jays and crows to the yard...we used to have more crows around but not so much anymore. I won't attack the eagle..it was amazing to see one so up close but if he swoops down on my buddies while I'm...

Well thanks for the information you have(and happy birthday Kat) and I am not to rule out owls I have seen one in my backyard before, but it was no great horned owl. I live in a rural area and have never seen a bald eagle perched in the tree that low to the ground before. When I've seen him...

Quote: I am worried because I have had one duck go missing already but I didn't see any feathers, blood etc...but that just leaves me with my two runners left. I don't have other poultry and after speaking with my husband, we decided instead of preparing the ducks/yard for the coming winter...

Hi I had posted about one of my ducks going missing a little while back and I had never found out who or what the culprit was. In the last 2 weeks we have been seeing a bald eagle circling around our neighborhood and I thought, maybe he was the problem. Today confirmed it when I went outside...

I had 3 lovable Indian Runner Ducks, but one, Max, has vanished....I believe, duck-napped. My most timid and beautiful blue-eyed white runner has gone missing and believe has been swiped by drunky college kids en route home from bar. The road I live on is in process f getting gas and water...

Well thanks for the advice and the compliments! I will continue to try to not step on him when I'm outside. I'm not sure if putting them on their back will help cuz I will occasionally hold them on my lap like a baby so they don't scratch my legs. I think mystical mom's comment is funny...

My 3 ducks live in the backyard and i've never had problems with them tearing it up...pooping all over the lawn is another story but putting out a sprinkler quickly dissipates the waste.

Well I have a video I made that shows my penciled being crazy, but of course my gray duck refused to attack me as he has been doing lately. (He just wanted to look good for the camera) No i have never seen them lie flat in the position you described. The penciled will act like this to my...

Hello I'm brand new to this site and this is my first year owning runners. I bought a penciled, gray and white as ducklings bout 6 months ago. I was unsure of the sex of them and thought the gray was drake and other two were females as my gray has a very quiet, muffled quack and the others are...
