Thanks everyone! If I knew it was wild, I would have just relocated it to the river, that would be ideal. However, I think he was probably domestic, so I'm going to do some research and see if that would be safe. My ducks are fully grown, but the turtle is fairly large, maybe 10" long. My...

I did realize she DOES still lay eggs. I'm still new to ducks but I am assuming they stop when they're older? I hope she's still young! I have a baby, too, almost five months old, he's solid black with purple, blue and some green, so gorgeous! Our friend's five year old daughter always asks...

I found out the hard way that koi will die in a duck pond. It actually used to be a koi pond until I got the ducks, I was very attached to my fish... We found a large red ear slider on the highway today, I believe he was a pet who was dumped. It happens a lot with turtles, people don't want...

I have an older Cayuga. We got her on Craigslist, the family had to get rid of their birds because their dogs were killing them... We have NO IDEA how old she is. When we got her about six months ago, she was solid black with iridescence. She started getting some white feathers about three...

The pond is about 10 x 10 x 2. I already had murky water, it's always been like that, no matter what I do, and the fish were never healthier. They liked the murky water I guess! It had been over a year since one died, maybe even a year and a half. I changed out a good potrtion of the water...

I just went out to check on everything, and my blue catfish, Punch and Judy, are both dead. Six in one day, seven total. I don't understand! I'm so sad about this... I think it's too late, and I feel like a murderer! I always assumed ducks and fish would be fine, since they exist together...

UGH I did not know this! I have had the pond for almost three years, it came with the house when we bought it. It's about an 1800 gallon pond, and I have a huge pump, it filters 3000 gallons per hour. THe fish are all MUCH too big for the ducks to eat. I got the ducks BECAUSE of the pond...

I am so upset today, I went outside and discovered FOUR dead fish in my koi pond. My big black koi (Blue), my big spotted koi (Zest), my big white koi (Falcor), and my big fantail, Georgina. Georgina was the only one left from my original batch of fish almost three years ago. Also, a few weeks...

I don't pick them up often, but maybe I'll stop altogether... I usually just try to be close to them and maybe touch them, but if I reach out even slightly, they run. At night I have to carefully coax them into their pen by putting food in and running away, then when they go in to eat I...

I got my ducks from a farm, I'm guessing they were just under two weeks old. I have now had them for almost two months. They are developing fine, and they talk to me regularly. However, when I approach them, they are terrified of me! When they were babies, I tried to handle them as much as...

My ducklings have this problem, too. I got them when they were a little less than two weeks old, and they already had holes in their feet. Not intentional holes, but small pinholes. They were never bloody or scabbed, just holes! They are now about ten weeks old I'm guessing, and the holes...

Awesome list, just what I was looking for! Thank you!

This is a pic from the first day I got them. I don't know how old they are/were...

Haha! I think there should be a post somewhere about those wings, it was scary when I first saw it, and I can't find anything at all online about adolescent wings! Do you think the other one may be a rouen?

OK, whew! I thought it might be normal, but it's so alien looking! Just making sure, thank you!!

I bought two baby ducks from a farm about two months ago, I believe they were only a couple weeks old. One is a black duck, s/he is now developing gorgeous iridescence, the other was brown with yellow markings, s/he is now brown with multi colors, and she still has the stripes around her eyes...
