It’s been in the high 80s-90s everyday

I will. I tried letting them out of the yard to explore a bit but she just finds a place to settle down. It may be because hot how it is. I just worry so much! Lol

The Cayuga is but the Blue Swedish seems more lazy than normal.

They are! How long should I wait before it become a concern?

I’m worried my ducks are sick or something. They just don’t look good... I don’t think they are molting, I don’t see any feathers anywhere. I have 2 and they are about 3 years old, a Cayuga and Blue Swedish. The Blue Swedish has always been a little lazy/fat, I think she had a niacin deficiency...

Hinny or “Mule” ducklings will be infertile and cannot reproduce/lay eggs/fertilize eggs/etc..

It does list on the back suitable for chickens- I think... I know there’s a picture of one! But ducks are different. The only thing I can really find “wrong” is the fiber is very high! Also, rice bran is a concern.

So, my wonderful duck food that I had delivered to my house stopped delivering because of “too many broken bags”. :barnie (I never had a broken bag- it was always packaged very well!!!) Anyways, we decided to start going to our local Feed & Seed... Sent my husband and told him to get All Flock...

Could something be visiting it every night/early morning? A raccoon, opossum, owl, etc.? From my understanding you don’t let it out when it starts quacking, right? If you are letting it out, you shouldn’t, because that would reinforce that quacking means it gets let out or that you come visit...

I would keep it in a bowl of some sort, the food tends to get stinky if wet and left on the ground they won’t be able to clean it as well as in a bowl.

My goodness, that picture of the little one with pigeon toe looking up at you is adorable!!!!

I clean my 40 Gallon stock tank every two days, if not daily. Takes maybe ten minutes though! I don’t have a drain so I use a sump pump, dump the last little bit, scrub, rinse, and refill. This is only for two ducks though!

Buy your dry duck food and you should be able to transition them in about a week- Start off with 100% damp crumble on the first day Day two: 3/4 damp crumble, 1/4 dry duck food Day three: 1/2 and 1/2 Day four: 1/4 damp crumble, 3/4 dry duck food Day five: 100% dry duck food. You can...

My two ducks were scared of our “pond” (40 Gallon stock tank) at first too, they didn’t get in it till I got in (up to my knees) and they followed me! They watched me splash around at first and then they jumped in!!

If I could afford it I would do the same thing and then put down river rocks! River rocks are smooth on their feet, and if you keep the pond in there it won’t get muddy, but they could get hot if not shaded. You could probably do just the sand and make sure they get to bath and forage everyday.
