The Duck Thread

[gander007]

Duck Question. Do ducks march themselves back to their houses in the evenings like chickens do??

No ducks are more organized than chickens but on the other hand ducks unlike chickens do tend to play at night ....

Can someone help me? We have 3 pekin male ducks and we have different breed 4 female and another male. The pekin ducks won't stop mating with all the females. Sometimes they will even go around one of the females and all take turn on her. Is there a way to stop them? Poor female are soooo skinny and tired already....

Too many males. Separate immediately. They can and will kill a female over mating. 1:4 is a good ratio. But at the very least, separate the males away from the females now until you come up with a permanent solution.

Duck stampedes are a daily occurrence, with chubby, spoiled ducks! Every time I go outside, I hear fwappity-stompers on pavement and much wonking and waqing coming at me!
