Picked up a couple ducks from the assorted ducklings at Tractor Supply back in April, and I initially thought that she was a Rouen like the other duckling we got. However, she's significantly smaller and darker than our Rouen. I know Hoover (who supplies Tractor Supply) sells Golden 300...
I've bought them early March before the pandemic outbreak, the breeder misplaced the breeds, and I think he misplaced the genders too. I'm supposed to have a couple, one female Khaki Campbell and a male mallard; instead I got a possible male Khaki Campbell and a possible male Rouen. They bought...
I have some juvenile ducklings, and even though I have search every poultry or pet store, I have not been able to find their actual feed, and have been giving them things like some chicken feed mixed with fruits and vegetables. I was wondering if there was a store that shipped that kind feed...

I need help figuring out what my duck is! I’m thinking it could be pekin x indian runner but I’m still not sure. If you know or think you know what it is please let me know!
In my previous post ( https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sick-duck.1363581/ ) , I talked about how my weeks old duck was acting weird, she looks extremely anemic and pale. After some research, I noticed that all her symptoms point to lead poisoning. I have a video of her seizure in this...
2 days ago my rouen started acting weird, it stopped being loud and it would gag. Now, it's starting to have seizure like movements, like falling down and then act like nothing happened seconds after. I read that it is possible that a duck does that when they have something stuck in their throat...
I own to ducks, Tilly and Viking, I have had them for a while now, and I have learned a lot from them. First to start off the Blue Swedish Ducks, are a great breed. They are a bit nosy, but they are very social animals. I had Tilly, and Viking since they were little. And they turned out to be...
Hi, I’m looking for 3 adult female ducks for my one male Pekin duck and his two mates.
I have a question too, I’m wondering on what breeds go great with Pekin males and where they aren’t too small? Thanks :)
I bought these two in August when they were about a week old and now that (I think) they’ve got all their feathers, I think they might both be males! Does anyone know what sex they are? Or what breed they are?
I was thinking that the white one (Dandelion) is a Welsh Harlequin and the brown one...
My husband and I just inherited a little flock of Silver Welsh Harlequins from a man who no longer had the time to keep them. I believe there are 2 original breeding pairs (Caerwen and Enfys, Erwclyff and Seren) and 2 hens that are their offspring.

Hi!
Does anyone have any recomendations on which duck breed would be best for accompanying my lonely muscovie.
I am wondering if a pair (female and drake) would be ok or would they leave her out and or pick on her?
Also would it be best to get two ducklings instead of a pair of adults?
(Find the bold words if you want to skip most of it and get to the point.)
Hi, so I'm going to get 4 more ducks for my drake. My drake already has a girl but her head is bald and I can't stand looking at her hurt skin (from mating) anymore. So what I need are tips. How about you answer these...
