You're welcome! So when I was typing earlier, I had tiny children running around and made a few mistakes. The filter should be at least 3 times the gallons of the pond, not the pump. Woops! The bag should be around the pump in the pond, not the filter. Again, woops. The pump does need to...

Hi Mimi13. We have a pond around 700 gallons, a submerged pump, and large filter with bio balls and sponges. I can't remember the rating, probably a few thousand gallons. Our issue was I had waited too long to clean the filter. It filled up with with stinky brown sludge and really...

I'll search for it!! Thank you :)

We had one for the first few months of duck-hood, then I decided to "upgrade." I'm not sure It was the best idea. I should have just gotten a bigger kiddie pool like yours! :O(

Well, we were planning on getting more ducks - but then I got four chickens. I fell INLOVE with the silly chickens. So now I just want to keep my four ducks happy. We used our duck budget on the filtration system, that is doing an adequate and short-lived job.. so we may be hulling out water...

You are all so amazing ! At least I'm not the only one struggling so much with a filter. It barely works, and when it does it keeps it clean for a short time and then slowly starts to lose the battle. My concern is winter time. Filters can crack, so I've read, and cleaning it out will not be...

Hello, So my husband and I just spent almost two hours cleaning out our large duck filter. We have a nice pump, connected to a filter with sponges and bio-balls. This shoots out to the waterfall that falls into the pond. It lasts for a few weeks, and then becomes so full of muck and sludge that...

Issac O you are spot on! I woke up this morning to her walking around with the other ducks, there was a large egg on the soft bed I placed her on last night. She even had a great time swimming and diving for the first time in her new pond. I'll take your advice and give her some calcium. She has...

Hi! Thank you so much for the help. I will take pictures and a video in the morning. We feed her a brand from Tractor Supply Company, it's a flock raisers brand for chickens and ducks. We recently purchased a few baby chicks and they helped us find a food for the chickens, our three young...

My families duck, "spider-man" is less than a year old. She has recently begun laying eggs and has been a reasonably happy duck. A few months ago her sisters were all killed by raccoons and I found her in the corner of her house covered in blood. It wasn't hers. A week ago I gave four young...

I was not aware that people purchased ducks on this website. I am new. Of course I would be happy to sell them on here - we live in South West Michigan.

Thanks everyone! Currently attempting to sell/adopt out my young Rouen males. My toddlers and I are feeling traumatized.

Good morning y'all, I have one female Pekin who just began to lay eggs one week ago. This was my first experience with duck eggs. After my Pekin's three sisters died by raccoon, I adopted/bought seven young Rouens. Five have recently turned into males and there are two females. The five boys...

I have heard about such things. Oh, it's so horrible. We became vegan, then vegetarian, because of those reasons. I just can't eat dead animals. I've heard of a lot of horrible things, there are also some really great documentaries on Netflix. 🤓

That's terrible! I just meant, what do they do with the dead duck bodies? I wasn't clear on if the person who posted this was sentimental or if he just wanted information on general duck removal.

Sooo I am sure y'all have responded to this question countless times, I still need help! Our oldest Pekin just laid her first egg in her temporary shelter. My five-year-old REFUSES to let us put it in the refrigerator and was very, very happy and proud of her Spider-Man. We have Rouen's who...

We lost three to raccoons a few months ago. It was a horrible mess and very tragic. We buried them and my toddlers helped me paint a rock. If you are emotionally attached, burying them is fine. I don't really know what else you'd do. What do large hatcheries do?

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We have ducks! We bought four Pekins from Tractor Supply. Unfortunately, three were eaten by raccoons while in their temporary shelter. We are currently building a large enforced, colorful duck mansion. :) With Covid and toddlers...
