Hello. Brief back ground, I have 9 ducks and 2 geese all born around April 6, geese are a touch older. The ducks go in their hut nightly with ease.
The geese have been another story. They outwit me EVERY step of the way. Clark, I can easily pick up or he/she will go in knowing there is food...
Ok, so I am new at this duck mom thing and don't get me wrong I love them and all. But WOW...everyday I am cleaning and spraying and cleaning and draining pools (yes 3 pools) and more spraying and more spraying and more spraying. I put out 3 pools, 3 water stations and 3 food stations and they...

Good Morning. I am getting ready to transition the ducklings to the outdoors. Their hut is done but struggling on how to rock/plant around the hut and have things nice in their hut. Just looking for ideas. Around the actual hut will be fenced, which has to be figured out too. The final goal is...
Morning. I have 9 ducklings, 2 weeks old as of tomorrow/Sunday. They all seemed to be on the same page as far as size but now I am noticing some are a touch smaller in size. They are of different breeds...Rouen, Swedish, Cayuga, Appleyard and a white one Pekin? ...The Cayuga and Swedish seem a...
