    Duck duck soloist

    Hi all, Not sure the amount of context needed for this post, but I have six ducks including five females and one male. There are five Runner ducks and one Layer. The male has always been (seemingly) sexually aggressive. Whenever I’m around and he starts trying to mate I can’t help but intervene...

    2 Domestic Ducks

    Hi, my boyfriend and I recently have been taking care of two abandoned domestic (mallard?) ducks but they're getting too big for us to take care of any longer. Who could we take them to in the sacramento area to give them away? Please help.

    Do cayuga ducklings ever have markings?

    So, during a visit to the feed store a couple weeks ago, my partner decided we would would be taking home a couple of ducklings (a magpie and a black sweedish, I think) that they had. How can I say no, we already have chickens 😂 Since there were only two, and I've wanted cayugas for awhile now...

    Northern California (Sacramento County) 4 Pekin Ducks abandoned by owner

    Hey there, I am helping a friend whose elderly neighbor lost his home and moved into his car. He left behind 4 Pekin ducks who were his pets. They are about 2-ish years old, and they are thought to be males. There have been no babies over there since he got them, so they're not a mixed-sex...

    Duck run

    Hello, duck owners - I have posted about some issues I'm having with my six very horny female runner ducks in a few places, but I'm running out of ideas. Three of them are about 18 months old, and three are about 8 months old. After a long, slow integration process, they were getting along...

    "Blow-Up Girlfriend" for a Drake?

    This is kind of a long shot... I have 9 ducks; 8 hens and 1 drake, mixed flock. The drake is a Saxony, so a big boy. Our Jumbo Pekin is pretty much the only girl he can catch, so she gets a lot of his "affection" and is currently suffering from a prolapsed vent. (She's isolated with another...

    Missing-Duck Scare - Story Time

    I’ve had my fair share of “missing-duck scares,” that is, thinking a duck is missing, when really they’re just around the corner, doing their own thing. Usually it’s my elder drake, Cherry, who likes his alone time. Today, however, I went out on my back porch to count the ducks, and someone...

    In-coop waterers for chickens and ducks

    Hi, I'm hoping for some recommendations/suggestions here. I recently had my flock decimated by a weasel, and the survivors are spending the rest of the winter in my garage. But come Spring I'd like to set up a few new systems to keep them safe. In the past I've extended the day to increase...
