Our Mallard duck has been extremely fertile this year and we have more Mallards then we want. We have 11 Mallards that were hatched on approximately May 9th. They are full size and have their first set of feathers. They are just starting to show their adult coloring and drake feathers. Free to a...
Finished Duck House and Run
Finally got the house painted and the run stained. Then filled the run with river rock pea gravel and sand.
And we built steps for their pool.
My husband calls it the LINCOLN LOG Duck House.

I am new to this forum and new to raising ducks.
I got my first baby ducks in March 2011.
I have 4 Pekins and 6 Mallards.
Their First bath:
My family has loved them from day one. Especially my daughter
Easter weekend we finished building their duck house and...
I need some help to decide what to do with my flock. I have 15 ducks total. 4 Pekins (2male/2female), 6 mallards (4male/2female), 5 runners(3male/2 female). I am coming to the conclusion that I am over run with males. So far it has not been a problem but the oldest ducks are just starting to...
Thanks everyone for the responses!! Thanks for the help with the colors.
Becky, I'm glad you saw the post. I thought this would be the best way to show you how well the babies are doing. You did such an excellent job with them because they are absolute sweethearts. Thing 1, Thing 2 and Cindy...

I love these little fellows. They are so awesome. They are...
They are beautiful!! Thank god you rescued them. If you lived closer to me I would ask you to go back and rescue some more for me. I want a goose so bad. I have to wait until next year for my tufted buff.
Here are some pictures of my duck pen and run. The duck pen is sitting up off the ground on a 2x6 base. Walls are redwood siding. Roof is split into two doors that can be lifted. Full size back door to enter the house. We just finished the run this weekend with a sand and river rock pea gravel.
I love it!! My husband is already planning the addition to our flock and their home. He was telling me last night that he thinks we can go out from their current run and make a large 8ft high enclosure. That way we can get more kinds of birds (other ducks, geese or whatever) and they would have...
I'd be willing to switch where we order from because I have no preference. I just don't need that many ducks or geese right now. Would be willing to make up the difference if someone else wants to order with me I will go up to 6. Just need someone who wants to order 4 or more and share shipping...
I want to get a black indian runner, a cayuga and a tufted buff goose but I need a minimum order of 8 to 10. Would anyone want to share an order? I am ordering from Myers poultry farm in south fork PA. Please let me know if you are interested. Here is a link to their catalog...
I currently have Mallards and Pekins. I am thinking about getting a Cayuga and a black indian runner and a tufted buff goose. Do you think it will be alright to get just 1 of each breed since they won't be alone. As soon as they are big enough they will join the flock. Do you think it will...
I have a Pekin duck that is missing it's tail feathers. Could the other ducks be attacking it? Does this happen during mating? I am new to ducks and I am concerned. Could someone enlighten me on duck breeding or duck behavior that could be causing this?
