So as I’m looking into getting a inclosed coop for my 10 ducks for winter and I was wondering where I could get a coop big enough? I found a coop that holds up to eight ducks and I was thinking of getting two of those but I’m worried about my Black Swedish and Pekins being in the same coop...
I have two Black Swedish ducks. I let them out with my other ducks but in the evening I can’t get them back in. My other ducks go in their coop no problem but these two run all over and are very hard to catch. What can I do to get them in their coop? They are very fast!
I forgot to mention in my last post that my female Muckovy keeps chirping every night. They have water, food, and place to sleep. I have not seen any predators around I have been keeping a very close eye now. Why does she do this? It’s like all four of them getting antsy all the sudden.
So after mourning the loss of my Pekins and Kahki Cambells I went out one day and got four new baby Pekins. I was also give four Muscovies from a friend. They are so adorable and just lovely! I did notice that one of the little baby Pekins may have a bill deformity? The baby eats and drinks and...
Last night I had an animal attack my ducks. All four of my Kahki Cambell are missing. I have been searching all day in our woods and turned up empty handed. I found one of my Pekins dead by a tree, and two off in the woods with their feather’s ripped out of their back. My other Pekin is missing...
So I have four for week Pekin ducks whose feet are turned in and I just started giving them Nicacin. Is there anything else that I can do to help them with this issue? This what I started giving them. Will this be enough to help or will I need add something else?
I have four pekin ducks that are four weeks old. And I have been interested in getting khaki campbell ducks. I don’t know if my pekins are male or female yet. Should I wait to see what they will be before I get the other ones? What is the rule of thumb when it comes having a right amount of male...
I am a never before duck owner and I have four Pekin ducks 3-4 weeks old and I noticed that they are full on nibbling our fingers. It does not hurt. They nibble my two and half year olds fingers and he laughs saying they tickle. My question is, is this something they do or something we should...
I have four Pekin ducks and I’m new to raising them. How old are they now? Is Are there ways you can tell how old they are? Also when will they not need the use of a heating lamp?
My Pekin ducklings always have a wet underbelly. I change their shaving twice a day. I bring them into the living for playtime and let them sleep and hopefully dry off more. Is there anything I can do to help them?
I have four Pekin ducklings that I have had for a week now and I have been using a heating lamp for them. They are getting too hot. I adjusted the height of the lamp and I even moved them next to the lamp. This lamp has no temperature adjustment and I have moved it as far up as it can go. One of...
I was wondering if there is any specific brand of mealworms to give baby ducklings as a treat? Also how can I tell how old they are? I got them From Tractor Supply on April 22nd. The picture on the left is when I got them and the picture on the right is them today.
I was wondering at what age can ducklings go outside to play and for how long? Also do you let them free roam or put them in a pen? As of right now in West Virginia it’s been chilly so we have been letting them free roam in the house.
So today I took my four ducklings out to our living room to play but for only 15 mins. My question is how often can I do that with them in a day? I don’t want to stress them out.
I have Pekin ducklings and one keeps shivering and keeps opening their beak. I have held the baby and checked to see if he was dry under the wings. The duckling is eating and drinking and is vocal. They are warm. I hope it’s nothing serious. I’m worried.
