I have a duck that is injured, and I am new at this, looking for advice and wisdom from my farming family. He has wounds around his neck, and he hasn't cleaned it himself but won't let me clean it either. He is very tame and was raised in the house with a litter of puppies. He is solid white...

What on earth is a call duck?! I keep seeing that and have no idea what it means... Is this a breed? A color? A water fowl with Verizon? 🤣🤣🤣 Still learning here! Thanks!

So this was a shock. On the 9 of Dec i came home to four little ducklings sitting in my ducks nest and well three more hatched later and at that point I had seven and sadly one passed away due to health issues.

Hi there, My beautiful clan, as I expected (!!)… have wrecked the garden. I live in England (wet winter!) and we have a garden that goes around the house. At the front there’s raised grass with two trees (that’s fine). Then on one side they have a pond and flat stones. We have a big driveway...

I’m getting ducklings and they’re arriving in week and so we’re preparing the brooder and getting supplies, including food. i was going to do chick feed and mix it with brewers yeast but when looking for brewers yeast on amazon i found some duckling starter, perfect! problem is that it’s 22%...

Hi, all! I'll try to keep this short... after one of my older Runner girls passed last spring, we got three new female ducklings, which we raised separate from the remaining two (a female and a drake) Runners until they were old enough. (All three ducklings were supposed to be Runners, but one...

Hi, So it was brought to my attention that bird flu is getting a bit rife again here in the UK and I was wondering wether I keep my ducks in their pen permanently until it all blows over or still let them have some time free ranging. Could someone advise me on what would be best for them? I’d...

Hey all. Wondering if anyone has good suggestions for what kind of lights they use in their duck houses. Mine are small -- two 4x3 (I think) dog-house-style structures. The reason I want lighting is actually because I want them to feel comfortable going inside during the day if they want to...

Hello, i have an issue with my ducks. this is my first winter with them and geese. here we get down to -30°C and lower, and have been hovering at that for a fair bit. every other animal stays inside their "homes" Not my Ducks... they are Always outside. and because of that they keep Dying. no...

Hello! We have an Indian Runner duck we recently rescued with the help of animal control from a local park. She's a sweetheart. Unfortunately our Pekins (6) hate her. We have 5 females, 1 drake. The rescue is a female and is docile and submissive. So far they bully her away from food & water...

I have 6 runner ducks and 5 ISA brown hens, who I spoil very much with small amounts of fresh fruit and veg almost every day. I always check online to make sure that anything I'm planning on letting my flock try is safe for them. Giving them their treats has actually improved my mental health...

Hello, I guess introductions are in order first. I didn't set out to become a flock mother. It was thrust upon me by my own live-in parent. But seeing as I do the bulk of the bird care, it seems I need to seek out the advice of other parents of feathered creatures who are much more experienced...
