    Have you ever fed your ducks Honey Dew before?

I’ve read articles saying it’s safe, but many articles say it’s safe to eat grapes and some other foods for certain animals when it can actually be rather dangerous. It isn’t a well known fact, but some...

    Are my drakes… flirting with each other?

    For context, I used to have a mixed sex flock, but recently gave away all my girls and kept the boys. Now, after a few days with no girls, my drakes seem to be... flirting with each other?

    How can I help my duck get better with niacin deficiency?

    We bought her nutritional yeast yesterday and gave her water, but we don’t know whether we’re supposed to let her walk and play like usual or if resting more will help her recover. We’ll also cook some niacin rich foods for her to help her get better quickly, but other than that, is there any...

And obviously they mated, and she’s...
