The Duck Thread

Yes same duck 4 days in a row

She's getting the hang of it now.

sounds like a plan, so there won't be a floor in their pen just ground with wire cloth and grass growing through? I don't think grass will grow inside their house. or are you talking about outside in the run area?

Yes the run would be outside with just the ground for them to walk on. No wire or grass inside the coop. just a wooden floor with hay on it.

I'd keep that poor duck separated from the drakes till you can get more ducks, over mating will sometimes keep things for not going well from fertilization to injury to the duck and 2 of those drakes are way to large for the Mallard duck what ages are you talking about with these ducks?

the pekin is the oldest probably a year and a half....all the rest are under a year

Until you get the boy-girl balance fixed up, I would give the girl her own place. She is little, and her well-being depends entirely on you.
