    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!!!

    Sick Duck, need Advice ASAP

    hello. I have a female pekin duck, we got her this spring as a ducking. Yesterday I noticed when she would preen she’d continually fall back on her butt, but she would still walk. Today she can’t walk at all. She is completely off balance. It’s like her equilibrium is off. She is still eating...

    Help! Duck with broken leg/ Injury

    My duck named Gracie had his leg stepped on by accident, he didn't really scream or squil when it happened. He is crawl and he won't move much. There is no bleeding. How do I treat him?

    Water problems

    I have a flock of chickens + 2 ducks and currently, their water source is some stagnant water in one of those oval stock tanks. The water is rarely changed or topped off except for when it rains. I want to put some better water out for them and I've heard of those container ponds so I'm thinking...

    Sorry if these are answered elsewhere, feel free to point me to a post. I did a search and wasn't finding exactly what I needed. 1) I have a red-tailed hawk (and bald eagles, owls, foxes, raccoons, opossums, snakes, etc) that live nearby. The hawk is especially concerning at the moment. My...

    Broken Leg, Aggression, and Trouble Eating

    This is a very long story, but I’m desperate, so I hope you’ll take the time to read it. We originally had three ducks, Pato, Hercules, and Destiny. We thought they were all females, but turns out; two males and one female. We heard this can be dangerous to the female (having more males than...

    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.
