Thanks. I didn’t think about the gel. I’m not sure what my pads are made of. I have been using them, but I have been placing towels on top.

I’m having to leave my ducklings with my elderly father for a week, and I’m looking for the easiest daily clean up solution possible. They will be kept in a sunroom in a trough. Will puppy pads work? I don’t want them to get splay leg. They will be 2.5 weeks old when I drop them off. TIA

❤️ I would have kept one for her, but I didn’t know which one. 😢 I got rid of five. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

A couple of days. One drake is now trying to friend her, so maybe it will work out.

No. The others seem to want to include her, but she swims off. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had to cull several of my drakes because my ratio of drakes to hens was way off. Now one of my hens is grieving and just stays by herself on the pond. I do have a 11 other ducks, but she just stays by herself. She seems so lost, and I don’t know what to do. 😢 Is there anything I can do to...

Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try that.

We found a rat snake in our Muscovy’s nest that she had been laying on. We removed the snake, but it was very large and had a horrible odor. When I opened up the coop, I could smell it even after the snake had been removed. The Muscovy did sit on the nest for a little while the next day but then...

Thanks! These are about the ugliest ducklings I have ever seen(so ugly that they are cute), and they are already stirring up trouble. The egg in front of them is pipping, and they act like they are playing kickball with it. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣😳

It didn’t make it, but I have two thus far that have hatched today. They seem healthy. ❤️. Two more to go.

I have five Muscovy hinny eggs that have pipped right on time. One pipped today, and when it did, I noticed brown liquid oozed out of it. It is still moving and appears to be zipping. From what I’ve read, I doubt it will make it. Has anyone else experienced this? 😢

I agree! Even my drakes get loud sometimes.

It is possible. Some of my Rouens fly all of over our property at times. It’s obvious that they were crossed with mallards because they are smaller than my regular Rouens.

I am in the same boat! Thought my eggs were Pekins, except for one. Now I know they were layed by my muscovy. The problem is, my drakes are Pekins, so these would be hinnies. Two of my eggs are completely full looking. I have five more that don't seem quite as developed. Today is day 26 for...

Hi. What is the most affordable way to supplement duck feed with niacin for free ranging ducks? Especially for Pekins. Thanks!

I believe you have a female (hen). 🥰 You will know soon enough if it starts laying. That’s great that you rescued her. To be honest, I’m not sure what to tell you. When my ducks were younger, I would sprinkle niacin (bought from Walmart in capsules) over their food. Also, I would put a little...

Where are you located?

So last year I purchased Rouens from Tractor Supply/Hoover's Hatchery. When they reached adulthood, they would occasionally fly. After doing some research, obviously they have been crossed with mallards. My drakes have gone through the molting stage and have lost their vivid colors. Now they...

Thanks. After some research, I do believe that’s what it is. It’s strange that it’s by itself.

I need your help. A new friend joined our pond yesterday. At first when it flew in, I thought it was a duck. Mannerisms are similar. It’s about the size of my Rouens. We do have migratory geese from time to time, but none look like this. Most of its body stays in the water, unlike ducks and...
