Mallard ducks
A neighbor incubated 5 Mallard ducklings. After they became a nuisance he released them on my pond. I’ve cared for them all summer and now they come close to me for food. Ive built them a coop but they have no interest in going in. My question is this. Will they ever tame down or because of the...- Greg Neely

Geese vs Ducks
We recently adopted 2 mallards who’s owner could no longer care for them. They are both males and around 4-6 months old. My Toulouse Geese (2 females) have always “ran our flock” and when we first got the mallards that didn’t change. The geese kept them in line. Starting yesterday this has...- JamieMcClain

mallard duck mating
I have 9 week old female mallards (my latest babies) and they’re starting to free range. I have 6 older male mallards showing a huge interest in them, but I don’t want them mated too soon. What’s the best age for when the babies are safe to mate?- Maddiejayne

My mallard duck is egg bound,

She went a month without getting bound a second time. She's been eating the same food that she's always eaten, when she can that is. She...- Emerald Rife

Drake gone, only hen remains. What to do?
I've had two domesticated mallards for about 2 years. Both have their primary flight feathers partially clipped. Yesterday while I was at work, the drake either found a way to fly/get out or something got him. There are no signs (feathers, blood, etc) that he was attacked and no signs that a...- Zach5Kline
