Does ANYONE Have Any Questions About Ducks? Anything can be Asked and Everything Will be Answered.

Sure! Blue Sweedish (and black), Muscovy, and Rouen. The pekins can fly VERY short distances.

This is about as high as my Rouen can fly Were you thinking Of Mallards?

OK, random question for everyone. For those of you with blue-eyed ducks, have you ever thought that their vision was not as good as your brown-eyed ducks? Random question, yes, but I’m serious. The reason I ask is that my white Muscovy frequently crash lands. She’s either really bad at physics, or her vision sucks!

I had 3 solid white blue eyes Muscovys when I first started out with them, Never noticed them having problems seeing . Love those blue eyes.

Do ducks need access to water?
*edit*
I mean of course they need water to drink but do they need access to water for swimming. Do they have to swim?

Thank you! So, I guess she’s just bad at physics then. Ah well. At least she’s pretty!

She is very pretty.

Yeah the Swedish can't fly well either. Let me change my question a bit.

Can you name 3 species/breeds of commonly kept ducks that can fly better than a Chicken? All you have got, OP, is the Muscovy.

Is it necessary to keep Jumbo Pekins on food restrictions? I have a massive recently rescued drake and don’t want his weight getting out of hand. When I rescued him he was underweight and his legs were weak, but he’s made a great recovery. Now that he’s back on track, should I limit feeding amounts?

What i would do is a couple different things depending on the circumstances. If he free ranges he should be just fine. But if he is cooped up with open food he could gorg his self but you should let him be and watch him and if you notice that he is gaining wait then I would restrict his food

I will continue to monitor his weight. Thank you for the response! Their run, as can kind of be seen in the pics, is very spacious, and is too large to even be photographed in one picture. My ducks also have a large approximately 500 gallon pond. He also has 26 ladies that he shares with my BEI drake.
