We wrapped Abba yesterday and stuck the vetrap to her with some medical tape. Today, those pieces of medical tape are missing. There are two pieces, each about 1.5"-2" long. I have looked everywhere in the bedding and haven't found them, but that's a LOT of bedding that looks an awful lot...

Everyone else's wingtips tuck up neatly under their wings, but Abba's are sticking out a bit and don't really tuck under. I tried to get some pictures , but she is great at moving right as I snap the picture. It's worse in her left wing, and you can see it really well in the second and third...

My little ones are about 3 weeks old now, and we've been taking them outside to get used to it, plus to introduce them to the two big ducks through a fence. Is it too early for supervised introductions in the same pen? I haven't seen any aggression so far, and the big girls seem curious.

Ok, tell me if this makes sense: I am allowed to have six(ish) ducks in city limits. I have ten straight-run Muscovies coming at the end of April/beginning of May. I am assuming that the Muscovies won't start laying until NEXT spring, again assuming that at least some of them are girls...

I just ordered 10 assorted Muscovy ducklings from Country Hatchery, due to arrive in late April/early May. I have 2 mallards that were full grown when I got them (the neighbors left them when they moved out). I have never raised a duckling before in my life. Puppies and kittens and cows, but...

I'm a new duck owner, quite by accident (our neighbors moved out and left 2 female mallards behind). I have had to scour the internet looking for advice on taking care of ducks and the one site that kept coming up with useful information was this one. Fast forward a few months, and I have...
