The Duck Thread

[subhanalah]

I am thinking of getting 2 more ducks to go with my runners. I want a guy to look after them and then another girl. I might get more runners but am not sure.

how exciting!

Yeah thank-you! If the drake is a different breed from the girls will he still look after them?

yes, other than muscovy, all other domestic ducks are the same species, like different breeds of dogs are all still domesticated dogs.

So relieved to hear she is doing much better. When I came in here this morning and read your post from last night, I was worried. Ducklings can get into all kinds of mischief I'd go out and dig them a chunk of sod [no chemicals] and put it in the brooder it will give them something to do besides chew on their buds. and next time your at TSC get some Blue Kote then if you see where one is messing with another you can apply some BK and it will disguise the area, but beware it makes anything it touches purple but sure works as a determent to chewing. 

Thank you for all the help!

Here's a picture of our duckling brooder. It is working really well.

I think your setup looks better than the old trough I have mine in!

Zeus died. Could it have been the fermented feed?
