The other one is acting weird, he has been quacking all day, almost non stop. I try to spend as much time as I can with him, but I can´t...

    How to Get Your Ducks to Like You/Not be Afraid of You

    Hello everyone, I just joined--this is my first post. We've kept chickens for almost 2 years now, but we just got some ducks. We started with 4 Khakis, then added 2 Runners & 2 Silver Appleyards this past weekend. My question is how to get our ducks to enjoy being around us and not run away...

    Female hurt/limping, improving over couple days. Is my plan sound?

    Hi guys, think my female sprained something while jumping off the deck (it's about a foot high). Either that or the drake was too rough with her and somehow injured her back, hip, or leg. She was laying about 6 inches from the deck when I found her with the drake, so that's where my assumption...

    Ducks Using Nesting Boxes?

    Ok, so I moved my 7 ducks & 42 chickens into the same house at Halloween. I built a row of nesting boxes on one wall, including a row along the floor because hey, why waste the space? Turns out the chickens LOVE the floor-corner nesting box... some days to the exclusion of all the others haha...

    Advice for winning my ducks over?

    I know, I know... The way to my ducks' hearts are through their stomachs. Let me tell you, they do come running up once they realize I've got a cut of tomato or perhaps some greens. But they also get some good cardio running away the moment I shift positions or go to grab more food. My ducks...

    Ducks fighting

    We have 4 ducks. I’m not sure how many are males/females. We got them March 2017 and they have been together since, never separated. They live in our pond.
