Hello and !Good luck with your flock

Glad to meet you, and welcome to BYC. Good on you for rescuing those first duck, and congratulations on your growing flock!

Here is an article on duck care.

To look for articles on your own:

A. Use the SEARCH button, but use the Advanced Search choice, and select ARTICLES at the top of the box. Just enter your keyword(s) and scroll through your results!

B. I find it helpful to notice the rating and reviews. All articles are by BYC members, and all the reviews/ratings are as well. The ratings help a newbie like me sort the most useful and reliable articles.

C. You can bookmark the articles or posts you think you want to refer to again using that bookmark icon at the top of articles or posts. You can find them again by clicking on your own avatar and looking at the list of bookmarks you have built up!

sounds wonderful! If you get the 3 girls as ducklings, do not let them be together with your drake until they are full grown.

Definitely. We've started to integrate them... interestingly, having the opposite problem with the ladies bullying (?) the drake. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/6-week-ducklings-bullying-pekin-drake.1589771/

yes well that is temporary. do the extra pools thing thats great but personally I still wouldnt let girl ducks under 4 months old be left unwatched with a adult drake. Drakes are like psycho crazed sex addicts . I tried to keep a drake in my flock 4 different times over the last 7 years but it never worked out for me.
