    nesting box inside or outside of enclosure ?

    hi ! so i was wondering if it'd be better to have a nesting box inside or outside of my duck enclosure. i have a 12 x 12 and a 10 x 10 attached to each other. the 10 x 10 has a 2 x 2 nesting box attached to the outside , completely closed with a lock. i haven't had any issues with predators ...

    should i throw these eggs out?

    i was debating it and i decided i would go check their growth one more time before making my final decision and guess who left the nest and killed them.. as sad as it is, at least the decision was made :(

    should i throw these eggs out?

    hi!! quick explanation; newt (mother) and buzzard (father) had ducklings two years ago. three of them ended up surviving, along with a boy. the next year, i get two more ducklings from where i had bought buzzard so they might've been his siblings, half siblings, etc. tokki, buzzard's son, mates...

    HELP!! egg cracked inside duck?

    Oh my, I'm really not sure at all since I'm not much of an expert. If the vet said to leave her there for the weekend, it might be the best bet. Again, I'm not 100% sure but I'll send prayers and I hope she gets better :(

    ducklings!!

    I don't think Mantis is trying to be mean - she lays down next to them and gently tries to go near and once shes close, she nibbles them. She's always been sweet but nibbles too hard. I wonder if after a day or so, she wont bite them as hard?

    ducklings!!

    Today I bought two call ducklings for my black east indie, Mantis. They seem to like each other though Mantis bites a bit too hard out of curiosity. They are a blue bibbed and black bibbed.
