    What Breed Of Duck Should I Get?

    I ended up getting 7 of the pens from Tractor Supply like the ones they keep their chicks and ducks in during the spring. My husband and son were able to connect them all together. It's somewhat of a maze but they can go from one pen to the other with lots of shelters and hiding places. They...

    The Quack Shack

    My rapey drakes started in March here, they are still going strong too. They won't want to quit until around October or November and even then will still act out every once in a while, just not as bad. I am lucky they are all small so that my girls do not really get hurt by them. My Hens...

    I have heard of people having wild ones get in their pools. Hopefully they will not get in yours. They can make quite the mess, lol.

    How to sex call ducklings by plumage colour? “Needing advice”

    I have Call ducks and mine are Pastel colored ones from Metzer Farms. I just hatched two out from my incubator and got 2 females but it took a while to figure out because they both whistled and did not quack for a while. They are more of a gray color than the tan of their Mother so sometimes...

    Thanks for the information, I appreciated it. I am going to wait until my two young Calls are 5 months old to be on the safe side.

    Good luck with yours Frank. I haven't caught anything yet and maybe there is nothing lurking around but I got one just in case. I used sardines too and didn't think I would ever get the smell off of my hands. Next time I will use gloves, lol

    What should a chicken keeper know about ducks?

    I have 26 ducks. I have had ducks ever since 2020. I have large containers of water for them but no pools or pond. They can get in some of them to wash off and others they do not fit in so they can drink out of them. It has been 97 degrees here in Ohio the last two days so I have given them...

    What Breed Of Duck Should I Get?

    I have several types of ducks and my tamest ones are my Rouen and Muscovy. They used to never like me to touch them but when I have their large bown of salad every day sitting on my lap they absolutely don't care and I can pet them all the while they are eating. If I have no food they are...

    Is it legal for a public park to release domestic breed ducks?

    I saw a domestic Rouen duck stay on a person's pond the entire winter here in Ohio. Our temperatures stayed very cold and the pond was entirely frozen except for one little spot in the middle where it stayed. It survived which surprised me. It was wrong of them to ban you from the park after...

    Call ducks

    That is where I got mine also. I lucked out and got a pair but some people I know orderd 6 and got 5 males and 1 female. They are sold unsexed and I am not sure if mine are show quality or not but very small and very cute. I got the pastel colored ones last year and incubated two of their...

    I should have looked at your pictures again. Mine is laying flat on the ground. I never knew you stick them actually in the ground. I must sound really goofy, sorry, I have never seen or used anything like this before. I am going to go out and redo it.

    The Quack Shack

    I bought one of those traps and set it yesterday. I was not sure if you put the food down inside the hole of the trap itself? That is where I put mine. I am hoping not to get any of the neighborhood cats. Sorry, I did not have it set right, after looking at your pictures I see where I went...

    The Quack Shack

    At what age did you put your female Calls in with your males? I have two born the end of April and I was not sure if they would be safe at 3 months or if I should go ahead and wait until 4 or 5 months. They are fully grown and so interested in joining the rest of the flock. I just don't want...
