Some people with house ducks have them wear neoprene boots when they are inside on hard surfaces. My ducks splash water inside them and so they don't work for me, the wet duck feet get all pruney and wrinkly. The boots do work for night time when my ducks don't have water and are worth a try...
My ducks bring me a ton of joy, and I hope yours do as well. We have plenty of members with house ducks, full or part-time.
I have an all female flock, and they usually get along well. I don't keep drakes because of overmating issues.
Female ducks can be pretty loud. They make that...
