I am from Beijing,China and I am a middle-aged woman.My 11.5 year old pet duck:a Maya Drake(also called Chinese Brown Duck who had green head and looked quite like Mallard) died last month and I am truly heartbroken and I have the feeling that I cannot move on.It's like part of my heart and my zeal for life had been taken away from me forever.
I might share his story as my pet and as my precious family member some day, but now I have some questions I want to ask about, though my pet duck already died but I really want to know more about some of the questions I have had for some time but when he was alive I did not make efforts to find answers.And since he had always been a hardy and happy fellow I was confident that I was doing things right like feeding and housing etc. But after he died I can not sleep so I searched many English resources about raising ducks then I come to know I had done many wrong.
If I could only have searched all those valuable information earlier or at least when he entered his mature years (for the past 2 years),I always said I wanted him to live long and healthy life and to be with me as long as possible but I did not make efforts to learn all the scientifically proved things about raising ducks and I really hate myself.
