Mall

thank you is there any color sexing for mallards that are 4-5 months old?

Mallard drakes usually have a ring around their neck and a green sheen head color. If they're not in molt...

Will two or more drakes fight even if they were raised from ducklings together

yes, especially if their are females to fight over. That said, most times they will probably chug along. I have several drakes here so speaking from my own flock dynamics.

My 2 drakes get along fine alone or with other females. Only time I had a problem was when I was down to one female, nothing major, the bigger drake used to chase the other away. Biggest problem I had with them was when the ducklings came along. They were aggressive towards the mom, dragging her by the neck and picking on the ducklings.

Hello everyone,
I joined this club this spring and have greatly enjoyed reading all your posts!

I have a male Pekin duck that I got from Tractor Supply as a day old duck. I noticed weeks later that there was something wrong with his legs. I treated him with an infant vitamin and vitamin in their water. Nothing helped. The others were soon running over top of him making his legs swell. I brought him in the house to be a house duck at 2 months old. He had been doing well walking around the house as a diapered duck. Until now at 4 months old. His Right leg has swelled and turned not allowing him to walk anymore! I took him to an avian specialist and he has a slipped tendon and needs surery to hold the tendon where it belongs. I don't know what to do. I love him dearly! He has become part of the family in those 2 months.

Does anyone know of a duck rescue that could help him with the cost of surgery? I created a youcaring.com account to accept donations to help. It's going to cost $1600.
If anyone is able to help Wobbly and I would greatly appreciate it!
