Any Tips on preventing stinky water bowl??
We’ve also played around with what water she likes. Tap water is okay, and filtered water is okay-ish, she does pauses when she drinks from filtered water. (Brita & Zero Water.) -
Any Tips on preventing stinky water bowl??
Would the vinegar change the water in anyway? I’ve recently got the electrolytes powder to add to her bowl of water (that’s not in the pen). And she avoided that thing like a plague, because it tasted different than her “normal water” from the tap -

There is no lid, I’ll try that! -
Any Tips on preventing stinky water bowl??
Multiple times a day, if she makes a big mess, & i still change it daily -
Any Tips on preventing stinky water bowl??
Boba has a gallon bucket with a hole on the side of it cut out, and softened the edges with a lighter. This acts as a bigger water bowl for Boba. Since she goes through more water than any other human in this household 😂😂 (we swapped to this from a normal bowl => water dispenser for dogs => to... -
What are these brown spots showing up on her beak
Will it be bad later on? Does the “age spots” hurt her in any ways? Something to keep an eye on? -
What are these brown spots showing up on her beak
What are these brown spots showing up on her beak? She never had these, and these just started to pop up. I’m unsure if it will be helpful or related, but… She also recently, for 2 weeks, she has been laying 1 egg a day, or two if she felt like it. Its also her first year laying. I’ve never... -

About Egg Laying (Boba’s First Year?)
Bought some “Mile 4: Grit & Grinded Oyster Shells” and sprinkled it into another bowl next to her. But she keeps mixing it with her food, like bringing it into her main food bowl. Would it be okay like that? -
About Egg Laying (Boba’s First Year?)
What about the other half of the soft shelled egg that didn’t come out? Will it come out later? Or dig it out? She’s been having really wet runny poopys beside her egg laying, is this normal? -
About Egg Laying (Boba’s First Year?)
Boba laid 3 more eggs today, first egg of the day was hard shelled, 2nd egg was completely intact but soft shelled, and 3rd egg was intact but only half came out and was indeed soft shelled again. We have powdered oyster shells & layer feed coming in and going out today to find electrolytes... -
About Egg Laying (Boba’s First Year?)
Yes! Boba's a pekin! (About to hit 5months old) The vet said we should stay on the Manna Pro duckling starter for another month more. But we have bought the layer feed just incase since Boba started. Is there any other like pure grinded up oyster shells on the side?? -
About Egg Laying (Boba’s First Year?)
How old does Boba have to be to be checked for reproductive issues (if she has any even) so far all her eggs are hard as heck!! We're currently still on < Manna Pro Duckling & Gosling Starter Grower > for her main feed. With lettuce, corn, peas every other day. Plus the fridge tax (bc every... -
About Egg Laying (Boba’s First Year?)
- Are we allowed to take the eggs as soon as she lays them, or should we wait? - any other advice for a first time duck layer? -
About Egg Laying (Boba’s First Year?)
Hi Backyard Chickens, earlier yesterday, we woke up to Boba’s first egg that she rolled to the front of the pen door and waited for us to pick up the “foreign object”. I’ve dubbed her eggs as “foreign object” only because when she was younger, I tried giving her plastic colour eggs, and she... -
Convinced my duck Boba gets sad sometimes
I think Boba's getting used to the little ones, she would sit and quack near them, like rubbing her head mohawk part (she rubs her head feathers on the side of the fabric mesh pen so much, it becomes a mohawk before she flattens it by herself again) After she spends however many times she would... -
Convinced my duck Boba gets sad sometimes
Her mating dance to me getting hatching call duck eggs from a local farmer, the eggs not making it, they disappeared for awhile, and we ended up finding call ducklings to bring home, and BAM now she thinks that's how ducklings came to be... Maybe because of the pause between the eggs and the... -
Convinced my duck Boba gets sad sometimes
Hahaha, I think Boba's reaction would be 1:1 with your oldest son! I think I might've screwed up Boba's perception on how ducklings came to be.. -
Convinced my duck Boba gets sad sometimes
Would it be wise to get a caguya duck to keep Boba company when the call ducks get older? Because Boba's first experience with a "bigger flying bird" would be seagulls. And we would pick her up sometimes so that we can simulate "flying" so that she doesn't feel alone in the flying aspect. In... -
Convinced my duck Boba gets sad sometimes
I think Boba likes being the spoiled single child. But hope she gets along with the other two in the future when they grow a little bigger. Boba’s still my #1 Big girl! She’s awesome!!
