Any thoughts as to what this duck is?? The first picture is when I got her 2 years ago, the dark gray one. She came from TSC but I got her around 1 yr old, they said she was a blue runner. The second picture is recent and she looks much more like a silver welsh harlequin and doesn’t have the...

Got these two girls at TS yesterday the bin said buff orpingtons but their color is so different I was curious if one is something else. One looks white and one buff to me but I've never had BOs before either.

My mallard drake is tearing up the necks of my pekin ladies... he is too little to get the job done so he is over aggressive with them. Our pekin mix drake does a decent job of keeping him away during the day but he has to be locked separate at night to keep from killing our mallard female. We...

This is a repeated thread I'm sure, but I'm not sure what to do! My pekin/WH mix drake has gotten progressively more aggressive over the past 2(ish) months. He is 7 months old. He has already drowned his mother (WH) (we are 90% sure he was the culprit judging by how he mates the pekins) and...

We have a rat living under our duck house, we will have babies in about a week. We have tried to deter it as much as possible, cleaning out the nest, spraying with the hose etc. but it is under the dog (duck) house in the duck coop only about 3 inches off the ground. The ducks cannot get under...

Our clumsy pekin has started limping a bit and was slow to come up from the pond this evening then just laid down in the pen. Grabbed him to check his feet and legs and noticed he has a split nail. No blood but the nail is completely separated from around the quick in 3 pieces vertically...

I know I saw a post about this a while back but I can't find it now.... Any suggestions on how to keep our chickens (and roosters) from sleeping in the nesting boxes?? (Aside from closing them off all together) We just started noticing them doing this! They had ALL (8) been sleeping out in...

My husband let our ducks out this afternoon and he noticed our broody girl was acting weird. She has been sitting for 3 1/2 weeks now coming out to eat and drink normally. Tonight she went down to the pond and was sitting by herself and didn't come back up with the other ducks when it got...

Our vet suggested we switch to a duck specific feed instead of the DuMOR layer pellets we have now. TSC does not carry anything specific for ducks. Any suggestions for feed?? I've looked on a few threads and mostly just found people making their own feed, which I don't have time or desire to do.

Our apx 10-11 week old pekin this morning we noticed was having trouble with balance, falling over (forward, backward and to both sides), limping and not able to keep up (worse than usual) with the rest of the ducks. I was worried about bumblefoot but I've checked both of his feet his feet...

We got 6 ducks about 4 weeks ago, last week while my SO was out of town I came home to one dead in the corner of the pen. No body parts out of the fence no evidence of anything trying to get in but her neck was pretty matted up. I can home today to another one dead she was fully laid out and...

Hello! We are new to the fowl world but we have 8 chicks (7- around 3wk old, 1 maybe 2wk old judging by her development) and 6 ducks (5 Roen/Mallards?-2wks, 1 Pekin-3wk). Any advice on coops, runs and free-ranging would be extremely helpful! Our little guys are already giving me and my fiance...
