    Broken bottom beak can’t eat!! Duck -

    Hello all, I am in a desperate situation. There is a wild mallard with a heavily broken beak. She also has a duckling, which is why I haven’t taken her to the vets or contacted the wildlife centre as I think catching both will be beyond impossible and extremely distressing. Plus I think they...

    Wild Ducks Visiting Domestic ducks

    Hey yall. Yesterday I noticed a pair of wild mallard ducks swimming with my domestic ducks. My ducks are free range, so they were in a drain/stream thing in our horse pasture. My one female duck seems to be getting WAAAAAY to attached to these wild ducks. She will leave her two drakes to be with...

    Newb to BYC - I don’t have chickens but I do have MUSCOVIES

    Hey. My name is Sara. Just an FYI - the username sirius is a nod to the Sirius star in case anyone was wondering why it’s spelled that way. I joined because I had a brooding Muscovy hen make a nest and successfully hatch all her ducklings 3 days ago! I have researched the breed and fell in love...

    Will wild ducks breed with domestic?

    I’ve noticed some wild ducks landing in our creek with our domestic flock. They seem to get along and get closer than I thought they would have. My son wants them to breed our hens so we can have a wood duck mix. I told him probably unlikely but it sparked some curiosity. Has anyone had any...

    Sick Duckling?

    So we took these two muscovy ducklings from some apartments (before i found out its not legal 😕) The moms always have like 14 and end up with 1 or 2 so we thought, "why not take them home and give them a better longer life?" They have since been domesticated and are very sweet. We have one named...

    What breed is this?

    I frequent a duck pond down by my house, and I’ve gotten pretty good at identifying the different wild duck breeds that live there. However, there is one duck (affectionately nicknamed Turkey Bob) that is MUCH larger than the other mallards, and has different colorings. The closest ID I can give...

    wild (Mallard?) duck eggs - in my incubator

    Last month, our LGD discovered a duck incubating eggs near in her yard. She barked at the duck endlessly and eventually the duck flew off and Kira helped herself to two 2 duck eggs. When the duck didn't return for the day, I took the remaining eggs and incubated them. I'll probably stop...
