Drake attacking nesting hen
Hi I have 2 drakes and 4 hens (Mallard ducks), who all live in a wild (not enclosed) pond. One of the hens has a nest and sits on eggs all day for the last three weeks, so I imagine chicks are due soon. The father is very attentive. The other drake violently attacks the nesting hen whenever she... -

When is it safe for ducklings to be mated?
Last week, my 2 adult ducks (Pekin female, khaki Campbell male) and my 4 two-month old Female ducklings finally got to spend extended time together while I watched over them. The drake would chase the ducklings now and then and keep them away from any treats, but nothing too bad. The female... -
Do Drakes Mellow Out Duck Hens?
Hello!! My Cayuga Hens are so attached to me. It’s cute, but also enough to drive us all insane. They get so loud any time I leave them, and now they are flattening themselves for breeding 🤦🏻♀️. I’ve heard if I get a drake for them, he will mellow them out and "keep them in line". For my fellow...- CayugaMama

Drake head feathers.
Does anyone know the reason my drake, Chowder, will do this to his head feathers occasionally? I got him to do it for the picture by holding him on my lap for a few minutes then put him down to join his gf, Waddles. One pic is normal Chowder the other is poofed up Chowder.- Maddog_photog
