Sick duck

[Maryjeanash]

I know that but she is happy when she's in the pool and I don't mind carrying her around.. do you think she could get better when I get another female? Do you have any ideas on where I can get female ducks that are all ready grown up?

Yes to what Miss Lydia said. I don't think that other females will make her better, but it will take your male's attention off of her and give him other females to interact with.i t

We took the female duck up to the pool today and took the male I the heb house and she's swimming away and she got out and my granddaughter went down there and she was going to pet her like usual and she bit her she's never bit
any of us... I don't know what that's about.. have any idea? She bit her right in the face on her chin

I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I never leave home unless it's just for the day I have no idea of any one I can trust. So sorry this happened.
Spend as much time as you can with him. you can also put a mirror in with him just secure it so it won't fall over on him. Usually 4 months old and up is a good time to put females with drakes. What breed are your new ducklings?

I got a 4 months old rooster and he's so scared! He don't even want to go in the chicken coop.. he roost on my front porch ( which it's closed in) .. the hens peck at him and then he runs away all the time from them.. he never lets them get close to him because they peck him at him... He's so small and my hens are big..we got him cuz our other rooster got killed. Iam sure the hens remember him.. do you think that they will get along.

Iam hoping he starts putting them in line and being a rooster because the hens are just picking each other the death down there in the chicken coop!!!

Can you let your chickens free range? that may keep them from pecking on each other. The rooster hopefully will be accepted but it takes time for newbies to be part of the flock. I'd make him a place inside the coop where he will be safe but they can see him. It can be done with fencing or using a dog crate etc. But having them all together and him safe is the best way to introduce,
