There is something going on behavior wise with my ducks today.

Elvis and Trouble have been mating fine, I noticed Elvis giving Truffle a hard time for a couple weeks now.

Today it seems like Trouble is now attacking Truffle along with Elvis. What is going on here?

Introducing my gorgeous little Ash! I have been advised she/he is a Muscovy, although there is some debate to be had! Is anyone able to tell me how I can sex him/her? We have made an appointment at the vets but this is over a week away, and I am too impatient! Haha.

Love seeing all these beautiful ducks! Just gorgeous!

The black hen is my favorite of the flock, I'm hoping to hatch many eggs this summer!

They are adorable but I have a question, How can those ducklings be sitting in water and not freezing to death and your in Maryland? it's frigid here in I'm in NC.

I had just changed the water and put a little warm water, the one I had put in this morning before going to church had frozen up by the time we came back. Still figuring how im going to keep their water fresh as its so cold and windy, was going to buy a heated dog waterer but they were out yesterday at tractor supply.

Probably a good thing they are out main reason if you have an open waterer and the water is warm your ducklings will be in it in a heart beat, they will get out and chill and most likely die. Sorry to be so harsh but ducklings cannot chill. You need to put something in there they cannot get into this is the worst time of year to have babies, and I'm not belittling you it is just going to take alot more effort on your part to keep them safe and warm. You'll need to go out many times a day with warm water and top off their waterer, and make sure they are dry and the bedding is dry too. I'l lget you a few pics of waterers that can be used safely with ducklings ..

make a hole on both sides just large enough for them to safely stick their heads into you can make it larger as they grow, I make one for mom and put it up on bricks so babies can't get to it.

another example.

main thing is keeping them dry so be sure what ever you use they cannot climb inside of.

I suspect Ash is a little girl. A little boy would have have some caruncles starting at that age assuming they were a young bird!
