This isn’t really a problem - I’m more confused than anything, and would love some insight.
My drake, Cherry, loves his pond, and I don’t blame him. It’s around 5 / 6 acres worth of water, with tons of mud, pondweed, fish, bugs - a duck’s dream.
He also loves his girls. I got Cherry 2 hens of...
We have 9 indian runner ducks about 5 males and 4 females, we need to find a home for them, hopefully in pairs. about 2-3 years old, good layers, and last year we hatched out about 60% from their eggs. They are used to having a pond with live water stream that flows in and out year round...
I'm wondering if any more experienced duck folk could tell me what these guys are doing?
This is a google drive link to the video (It wouldn't upload it here, sorry) [video link]
From my perspective it seems like they're anxious and frantically looking in multiple directions back and forth...
Hello everyone! Recently I got two ducks- Nemo and Bella, both around three weeks old. I’ve been feeding them correctly but they have stopped eating their duck food and will only eat peas and lettuce or other vegetables and fruits. It has only happened this past two days but I can’t help but...
So I have a problem. My grandpa gave me a duck egg to hatch out almost 12 days ago, which I put in my incubator. He gave me another today so I put that one in. And my mom asked me to put 4 silkie eggs in on Sunday.
I only have one incubator. How do I manage these hatch dates when they are...
is this a good essay? what should I add or change?

My family is allergic to many, many things. Dogs, cats, hay, grass, rabbits, rodents. So when my brother or I want a pet, we have to get… creative. I managed to get myself a crested gecko, and we have a family...
ive just recently began letting my ducks out every other day for supervised freerange. my goal is to get them to the lake that is in our yard, and ive almost got them comfortable enough to reach the bank.

I know there are a ton of posts about decreased egg laying. Thanks for your time.

Please let me know if you know any vets that accept ducks in Mississauga or a nearby city or any website that can help me find vets for ducks, thank you!
Can someone please help us identify these 6 ducklings from Tractor Supply. The workers told us they came in a bin that just said “assorted” and they didn’t know what they were. Any help? Sharing pics of

Hey y'all! Soon to be a new duck owner!
I've wanted ducks for awhile, and finally was able to get them. I ordered ducklings last Oct., and got Welsh Harlequins, Buff Orpingtons, and Blue Swedish. All are supposed to be girls (hopefully they all are), and I got two of each, so six in total! I...
I have 3 magpie ducks, 2 are hens and 1 is a drake. The goal was to breed them, but I’ve ran into a problem as they are over 6 months old and I still haven’t gotten a single egg out of them and I can’t figure it out. They are fed layer pellets, have clean water, fresh straw bedding, and have...
So, I have a drake (Cherry) and two hens (Caramel + Pitaya).
When Cherry mates with my hens, he’s very quick about it. My hens do tail up, he does tail down, and it’s done. I’ve never seen him take longer than 10 seconds to mate.
Occasionally, I’ll see Pitaya on top of Caramel trying to...
So I found the pair just toodling down the street yesterday afternoon. Idk where they came from or why they're around already. It's early for them and unusual for them to be in the neighborhood... Anyway it wasn't hard to catch them and bring them to the farm. I just got done building them an...
Hi everyone!
A few years back I posted about a runner duck of mine called Frances. He was born with a limp, which after a vet appointment we discovered was caused by hip dysplasia. His vet said it was the first time she had seen it in a duck. If it was a cat or a dog they would perform a hip...
Hello. I haven’t been online in a few months because everything was going wonderfully. My babies were nearly a year old.
Earlier today we saw my neighbors dog walking off with our male duck hanging out of its mouth.
Long story short, this the third time something like this has happened. The...
Hi everyone! Does anyone else have female ducks that argue (just verbally) with each other? LOL!!😂
My beautiful but tomboyish female crested duck Eminem (I thought she was a boy when I got her) and my equally gorgeous Rouen Freddie are always arguing with each other. I will hear one quack...
