The Boujie Chicken: A Duck Thread

[arianna7]

Hello all,

If you are a duck owner, Welcome! If you are not a duck owner also Welcome!

I wanted to create this new thread for duck owners to post pictures, questions, advice, ect. If you are a duck owner, you may know that they seem to act like "swimmer meets clown meets pretentious/boujie chicken", (hence the name of the tread).

Without further ado, post, ask or advise away. I only ask to keep it decent! ♡

Hello @arianna7 do you have ducks?
Presently I have 21 ducks, separated into two flocks. Flock number one has 13 hens and one Drake. Flock number two has six hens and one Drake.
Five of my ducks have been with me over 10 years now. They are sweet little old ladies. lol
I also have some four and five month olds, some one-year-olds, two-year-olds three-year-olds and one 7 year-old pekin named Chubbs. Here’s Chubbs - she is molting lol

Hi. I am new to this site and have a nice mix of about 50 birds-both ducks and geese. Most I have either hatched or raised from small or young ducklings and goslings. Mine free range in a fenced pasture with a pond during the day and go into a barn at night. It’s routine and they go in very well at night. If we don’t get home until late or if I leave the door open during hot summer nights they will put themselves to bed. Anyways….i recently got an adult 2yr old female Muscovy this summer to add to my flock. I don’t believe she was handled a whole lot when she was young and is more apprehensive about everything. She has bonded with my flock and my other Muscovy well. However at night she refuses to go into the barn at night. She will fly and stay on the pond all by herself while everyone else is in the barn locked up for the night. It’s getting down into the mid 20’s at night right now and hoping she will pick up on the habit before the weather gets colder the further into winter we go. Curious if maybe just with continued attempts she will start going up on her own. I hate to clip her wings if I don’t have to and honestly catching her for that may not work. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
