    Female getting beat up by my drake

    I watched them for about 20 minutes after the snow stopped and he was the only one that did anything to her. I think I will keep her out at first and when I reintroduce her I will take him out for a day or so. I guess its that time of year but I have no eggs to show for it.

    Female getting beat up by my drake

    I kept my ducks in the pen today since we were getting 4-8 inches of snow and my drake beat up one of my 4 females. Under normal circumstances they free range all day and only spend the night in the pen. She has many flight feathers pulled out with some bleeding (very little) along with the...

    Snapping Turtle Attack?

    I have been dealing with snapping turtles for as long as I can remember. Long before I had ducks even, I can remember finding cute little painted turtles on the bank with only three legs. Those things move a lot more than most people think. If he is still in there I will catch him, a fish...

    Snapping Turtle Attack?

    I was missing an ancona when I put them away tonight. A walk around the pond revealed him on the water's edge still alive with a nearly detached leg. What would do that and not finish the job? They were only out from 9 am to 6 pm and a Great Pyrenees puppy has been running around much of the...

    Wood Duck Ducklings and Mazuri Waterfowl Starter

    I have raised wood ducks in the past with mixed results. After reading some posts I am going to use Mazuri Waterfowl Starter this year. I was just wondering what is the best way to present it to the them? Do you just add it to their water dish or do you provide them the opportunity to swim...

    Raising Wood Ducks

    Can you provide some details on "cabbage and water"? I have some woodies hatching in two weeks and I would love to be able to say "I don't lose them anymore."

    Nursery Pen

    I have a bourbon red tom and hen who is 2 weeks into incubating 24 eggs. They free range all day and are penned up at night in a 5'x10' pen. I read on some other website that I should set up a nursery pen with covered sides so she can't see out to stop her from pacing and trampling the little...

    23 eggs and counting

    She laid another egg today but for the first time she returned to the nest after her evening walk. For about a week now she had been setting on them for about 6 hours a day, sometimes laying an egg and sometimes not. She would then leave them mid afternoon and return to them until mid morning...

    23 eggs and counting

    My Bourbon Red is up to 23 eggs in her nest and counting. I'm not so sure the nest box can hold too many more, it's pretty crowded in there. I have read the average is 15 eggs but what is the most you have seen?
