Can I use tap water and hose water for my ducks?
I have some ducks hatching soon and I would like to know if I can use tap and hose water for my ducks. While they’re small I would like to let them swim in the bath tub/sink. When they get older the plan is to get them a kiddie pool and fill it up with water. This is my first time hatching...- RanditheDuckMother

Pekin Khaki Campbell cross ducklings
So, I have multiple khaki Campbell’s and Pekin ducks and two of mine have recently mated. Astonishingly one of my Khaki Campbell ducks, Val, became broody almost twice in one month, as before she was less attentive to the nest than her girlfriend Carol. Last month when they were broody they were...- ShaliniW1985

Deformed duckling legs
So I’ve had these two khaki campbell ducklings for about a month and I’ve just noticed that they have somewhat deformed legs. Ones legs are turned inward, which I know can be normal, but the other has very weirdly messed up legs. One leg is stuck going forward and the other is far behind. She...- ShaliniW1985

When should mother duck be separated from her ducklings
Hi, Please excuse me if I am posting a question that has already been answered, but I've looked over the forum and in my Storey's guide to ducks and I can find a good answer.

Feed and Nutrition - help!
I am a soon-to-be first time duck owner and want to get some info while waiting on my "The Ultimate Pet Duck Guidebook" to arrive and eggs to hatch. I purchased Mile Four duck feed but it doesn't list if there's Niacin. In researching how to add it, I saw info about "fermenting" the feed and...- member 569347

Help! I have one female and one male duckling!!!
So recently I bought two ducklings hoping that they were both females so that I would get some eggs from them. Instead, I just found out that one of them is male! I’m not sure what to do!! I wanted eggs and I read online that the ration for male to female ducks should NOT be 1:1. Help!!!- Elena symon

Duckling acting strange . 🤨
So about a week ago I purchased a baby duck from my local feed store. So far he's been fantastic but after a few days I noticed he was lonely and wasn't advised that they should be in pairs or multiples (first time duck mom), so after this I decided to go back and get another. The second... -
Duck Rescue
Hi! Okay, so, momma mallard nested for the 2nd time in our front flower bed, and laid 8 eggs. Something got into the nest overnight and scared the mother duck away, leaving 3 eggs. She hadn't returned by dusk, so I put together a diy incubator to see if I could rescue the little guys. They...- Saigey

Help! How do I take care of a weak duckling?
First off, it's a Muscovy baby duck who is probably around a a week and a half, maybe two. I saw the duck with its family yesterday and he's the smallest one, the runt of the group. I noticed that he was sleeping on his own and was far away from his family, so I bent down to see if he was okay...- Ruko
