(1) Are you new to ducks / when did you first get ducks?
Yes, I am very new to ducks. I purchased ducklings two weeks ago.
(2) How many ducklings do you have right now?
5 beautiful spoiled rotten ducklings.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have 3 Appleyard Ducklings and 2 Black East Indie Ducklings.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard ducks?
I live off of a creek/cove that connects to large river. I love watching the wild Mallards and we have two pait of swans that visit us too. I'm hoping I can train my babies to stay around the yard and come onto the water with us when we take the canoe out.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Quilting, painting, drawing, antique restoration, gardening.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I'm a home school momma as well, (middle school age) we also have a giant Flemish rabbit, her name is Moose.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Google search. I've been reading all of the forums for the past 2 weeks. For keeping them indoors, behavior and things to look out for. The two Black East Indie ducklings seemed to have a spell, not major seizure, yesterday and they both laid on their bellies and their necks went limp and their back feet stretched all the way out. No major shaking or breathing problems.. I have niacin suppliments, liquid B complex, Pedialyte/electrolyte in their water. It only happened once per each East Indi baby. I've cut up clover for them, gave them rolled oats mashed up in their water too. They have Dumor starter at 18% protein. <3
