I would agree the straw is a bit slimy and smelly. I learned that the hard way. I too have rock for a base- about 8-10 inches of 3/4" gravel, sloping away from the area. I have fake turf ($20- 6x8ft) on top and some rubber mats around. I spray it down DAILY and honestly it is the FOOD that...

I work in Ag, on the cow side of things, so I am not sure how to ask. I assume ask for "duck feed"? Do they ask for ratio of corn and such?

I have yet to see one of my ducks go after Eddie my goose. Eddie is a pain in the a$$ being bossy. I do love him though. I wish the ducks would to hold their ground. (I don't know the sex of ANY of my 9 ducks or 2 geese-I think I am tone deaf because they ALL sound the same to me) And if...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can just see the looks on the ducks faces when the geese come in and ruin their moment of pool time and trying to eat. They (ducks) just get settled and here they (geese) come..."get up and move over here. wait not there, here! Wait, no, here instead" Poor ducks I think...

I have been using Manna Pro Duckling and Gosling food from Amazon. It is a touch pricey at $25 a 20 lb bag. I am in a rural area in Wisconsin so it is slim pickins for me. Loved it until Amazon jacked the price on me to $53 a 20 lb bag. I went and got a bag of Purina from TS and it is...

I have read in a few threads about duck and geese behaviors and "when they grow up" this changes or that changes...ducks and geese possibly get into everything, go wandering, no longer listen ect...I feel like I am talking about my children to be honest. They are 19 and 18 and I am STILL waiting...

I am interested in what people have to say, I have the same issue with 2 geese and 9 ducks. Those geese masterfully herd the ducks all over the yard. Away from the THREE kiddie pools, drinking water and food sources. It drives me nuts to watch it all happen. I do keep them separated at night too...

Hello. I have used pine shavings (not the fine stuff) from Tractor Supply. I tried using "chopped straw" from the neighbor, he uses it with his calves. It stinks and doesn't absorb like pine shavings. Will not be doing that again. lol! I have looked at the pellets a few times but haven't been...

I didn't really mean to say they were "dumb"...most days I think my 18 year old son is pretty dumb to be honest. :D I am trying to figure out the dynamic of the ducks and geese. And making sure they are all happy in their home. I would like the geese to solve MY distress by listening like the...

They have approx 5 acres to roam and literally go to the SAME few spots when I open the gate to freedom. Now, if I were a duck, I would be exploring the yard, knowing my boundries but yet testing them from time to time to keep my loving, friendly owner on her toes. A call from the neighbors...

I wasn't sure if in fact the bigger, bossy goose was just being their fearless leader (biggest chicken goose I have ever met) or a big pain in their hinders. When they are all together she or he runs the show and when I put them (2 geese from ducks) apart at night they whine for the ducks. WHAT...

I have 9 ducks and 2 geese fenced in an area about...well, I used 200 feet of fence and its in an oval. LOL! To control the poop mess I have been hosing down the piles daily on the grass with the thought of saving the grass somewhat. The poop literally soaks into the grass and its gone. (as I am...

Sit back, wait, watch and enjoy...I got it!! :D Thank you! They are pretty cute I must say. 😍 Not as smart as the ducks but more entertaining that is for sure. I think sometimes I try to pick apart the breeds and how they are "supposed" to act and behave. In the end, like any animal, they...

A local gal raises a complete hodge podge of ducks/geese/birds in general. She said she has both Chinese and African running around so she didn't know what would become of these 2. I wanted ONE goose with my 12 duck eggs I got from her and she had 2 of her 3 gosling eggs hatch so I took them...

I was thinking the same as far as breed but was not sure which. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah, I don't know how to do that LOL! Was not sure if the fact one was much bigger, louder and bossier if that mattered much. Thank you for your response.

I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out the breed and sex of these two...I got them 5 weeks ago at 1 week of age. They are a HOOT to say the least. One is bigger than the other and very loud (Eddie), the other is smaller and more quiet (Clark). Clark will come by me and even...

Morning. My 2 African goslings are 6ish weeks old and have been together but looking at my 9- 4 weeks old ducklings through a pen in the house and garage since I got them. I do put them together supervised when I am cleaning pens or put them outside ( I am in WI and it is cold yet...

Yeah, I have realized my shelter is NOT big enough. I planned for 4 ducks and 1 goose and somehow (weird how that happens) ended up with 9 ducks and 2 geese. I plan to put a pool in the run and in the fenced area. I was not sure if I was going to let them wander in the fenced area during the day...

Thank You for your responses. I was wonder I am super jealous!! And have a lot of work to do. LOL! I love all the great ideas from your pictures. We need to put in a fenced area too but we in the county a bit so have to make sure things cannot get in. So many little water sources too. Your...

Morning. I have no idea but I will say they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍
