Hi. We have 1 duck, Ulysses. He is about 8 years old. One of our dogs found him in our yard when he was a tiny guy, no feathers yet! No neighbors with ducks. He was all alone. Yes, I know I should have turned him in to a wildlife rehab facility but at the time my boarding kennel was very busy and I was alone. He is a Mallard. I guess. I fixed up a safe place for him but felt it was not big enough for 2 or more ducks. It is 8’ x 16’. Yes I feel guilty. But here we are. He is organically fed and gets fed fresh or cracked corn and grass and alfalfa. Saw a video here of a floppy top feeder to prevent sparrows eating the expensive food. Looking to get one of those floppy top feeders help!
Glad you joined.
We do have a Duck section here on BYC with lots of knowledgeable Duck members, definitely stop by there and start a thread. 
to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
we got uncle and grandad making their coop house just wondering when we can start letting them in garden for a little walk around?
