    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    My Ducks have to earn their names: Ok Pompom was easy, she is wearing one on her head, so was Pommes Duck, her crest looks like small pommes-fritte sticking out of her head. Then there is Blanca, one of the White Layers, Earthquack who jumps full speed into the pool causing ducknamis and Bazilla...

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    I would go with the zinc plated stuff, that green stuff might be plastic mesh only. They sell this here too as Poly-Hardware-Cloth. BS-Name!!! It is even weaker than chicken wire. And as said: No staples! Nails or screws with washers to attach it to the wood.

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    I am pretty sure you already have Trash-Pandas i n your area. In 2005 we had a 'coon running through our yard in Brühl. Here it is pretty easy: Trap or air-rifle, just three days ago i shot one out of the window of the living room. He tried to break into the storage shed where i just bunkered 12...

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    If you don't have Raccoons over there in St. Augustin consider yourself lucky!!! They are a menace and the arch enemy of ducks and chickens. People her in WV call them trash-pandas. We had to buy a raccoon proof trash-can, they plundered our standard trash-can (with a hinged lid!) twice and it...

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    It took me a while and my friend Google came up empty-handed, but my other friend Amazonia now wants to sell me »Wühlmausdraht«, »Schweissgittermatten«, »Volierendraht« and »Kaninchendraht«… But that stuff is even more expensive in Germany than here! :mad: And yes, Ducks love to sleep outside, i...

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    Your Muscovies are a couple of years old and have settled down. @CuddleNest 's pair is very young and when they discover that the can get airborne when they flap their wings, they will be all over the place. Like when they discover the purpose of the »corkscrew«…

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    That is a pretty large yard for Germany! - What area are you living? I am from the Rheinland (Köln) but i live in the U.S. for over 10 Years. You should lock up your birds in a secure house overnight and don't let them stay unprotected. Not worried about the wild animals you have mentioned, but...

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    I was planning on building a worm-farm for my ducks, the problem is that my wife would not tolerate a »dirty, stinky« worm-farm in the garage and outside it would be almost impossible to protect it from the ducks. Once they figured out what is inside the plastic boxes, they would team up with...

    Muscovies don't quack! They hiss in a friendly way and peep or chirp. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=muscovy+duck+sounds

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    Oh, and if you want to become really popular for your ducklings, try things like tomatoes, peas, salad and - mealworms (Mehlwürmer). Those are also known as "duck-crack" my ducks would roll on their backs and perform sit-ups for meal-worms! :gig

    Am I overfeeding my ducklings?

    As other people have stated before me: By the laws of physics in this universe it is impossible to exceed the speed of light and to overfeed ducklings! And it is pretty normal that a one month duckling has almost the size of a grown up duck. Very sure that you have Muscovy Ducks, @Miss Lydia or...
