    Mulch?

    Hey all! I have 2 ducks that I have had for about 3 years. They have a 10 x 13 caged area with a house for nighttime safety. We don't free range them at all because of the hawks and turkey vultures. The Floor of the caged area is currently just dirt. We have had a TON of rain this year. I...

    Smelly run

    They don't get water and food at night. Only straw to sleep on and I keep them closed up for safety. I will definitely try the shavings as opposed to the straw next time. Thank you for the information!

    Smelly run

    Hey all! I have had my 2 ducks since 2022 and have never had this issue before. We have been using the deep liter method in the run for winter. This year, since the spring thaw, we have had a TON of rain. This makes the straw very wet and it's just starting to dry out. This year the straw...

    Help! What's with the wings?

    Hey friends! I have 2 Khaki girls. They are about 2 1/2 years old. I have one girl who seems to have lost a lot of wing feathers over the last few months. We thought this was because the other girl is always on top of her and maybe pulled out some feathers each time. She acts fine. Eats...

    Neighbor using strobe lights at coop at 5 every morning... remodel fix ideas?

    This is horrible! I would get some video evidence as often as possible. That way you can show just how much he is harassing you....and your birds. You want to show the light show he is creating, as well as the sounds. Because it's pretty brazen for him to want people to complain about your...

    Ducks wont drink water

    Weird that I just read your question. Because today, mine are not getting to their water like yours. 3 bowls of water and they are all still clean. They ate their peas and worms that were in the water....but that's it.

    Ducks without a pond...swimming pool?

    I'm glad to hear my Khaki girls are normal. I thought I was the only person on the planet whose ducks didn't like the pool! One of mine will get in for about 3 minutes. Then the water just sits till I clean it. What size rubber tub do you use?

    panting duck despite pool and shade

    Frozen peas in their water. Ice cubes, frozen fruits and veges. Watermelon is good. A sprinkler maybe if you are able to get one to where they are. I used the mist setting on my hose last year. I read someplace that putting out a water tub with frozen water bottles help keep the water cool...

    I have two windows about 3 inches tall x 12 long on the top of the 2 side walls of the house. Both covered in hardware cloth.

    Cold cold cold!

    I actually have two vents that are about 3 inches by 12 inches on the top section of 2 sides of the house. They are covered in a good gauge wire to keep critters from getting in.

    They have water in their coop. But when I lock them in at night, no food or water.

    Cold cold cold!

    Hello everyone! I have two ducks that we have had for about a year and a half. They are khaki campbells. Last winter things were ok for them. This year we have a week where temps are in the teens and down to 1 degree F at night. We have a coop with plastic around 4 sides. Half the roof...

    Panting?

    She is a year old. We have 2 females, so we collect 2 eggs a day. Not sure if it is her, chatty or both laying. Her tail wags from time to time. I do see her tail pump now and then too. We collected 2 eggs just this morning. Oddly enough, I checked on her a few minutes ago. She is holding...

    Panting?

    Hey all! I have 2 female ducks that don't leave their enclosure. Cocoa came out of her house one day limping. I have kept her quiet and let her be. She is eating and drinking fine. It's been about a week. She limps a bit. Yesterday she was quacking like normal, eating, drinking and even...

    You were correct! She was going broody! We make it a firm commitment to collecting eggs every morning. Now, we don't have this problem. Thanks for the tip!
