    Bachelor pond

    The issue I have is the fact I have a smaller suburban yard, but locally there is a wild bachelor flock in a lake nearby and I've observed that any times they have issues they just space out. So if your pond is big enough that might dilute some of the mating season aggression issues that drakes...

    Can human imprinted ducks ever be with or mate with normal ducks?

    Hello Backyard chickens. I have only have two ducks being both human imprinted drakes. They are 2 1/2 years old and although they probably won't be integrated with other ducks for another year and a half or so I have some questions. I've heard varying information from several sources with some...

    Bachelor pond

    Drake only flocks are usually successful, but aren't without problems. I have two drakes(just as pets as well) with no hens and during the non-breeding season they are fine, but when breeding season comes around that's when issues arise. They become more aggressive towards each other fighting...

    What breed are my ducks and whats a duclair duck?

    Thank you for the info it really helped clear a lot of confusion I had about the duclair duck. I still wonder though what breed could the father of my drakes be (their dad seems to be the size of your average mallard)? Oh and I live in the US state of Texas.

    What breed are my ducks and whats a duclair duck?

    I have had my two drakes for over 2 years now and thought they were a mix between a mallard and cayuga. I thought this until recently I came across a picture of a drake that looked similar to my drakes dad and it was called a "duclair duck". I went and did some research online and got varying...

    Drakes getting aggressive

    Is it possible I put a barrier between the two of them while they are in the pen, but when free ranging should I keep them separate?

    Drakes getting aggressive

    Hello BYC, I only have two drakes and no other ducks. I thought if you only had drakes with no hens present they would get along nicely. Well my two drakes last summer fought quite frequently and they are now starting to get aggressive towards each other again. One of them also tends to attack...

    Yes, he is doing great👍! He hasn't had any problems and I am pretty sure it would've passed through his system by now. Thanks for following up 😁

    Duck ate plastic should i be concerned?!

    I mix grit in the feed they are given twice a day, so hopefully that will help.

    Duck ate plastic should i be concerned?!

    Hello BYC, today one of my ducks ate a small piece of brittle plastic. It looks like it came off from an old weathered feed bag. I'm not to worried, but is there anything I should be aware of and anything I could do? This is what plastic looked like

    Best feed for California show bunnies?

    Hello BYC. I am getting my show rabbits this Thursday and it will be my second time raising show rabbits. I would like to do better in the show this year than last year and was wondering what the best type of feed would be for the job.

    Anymore niacin treats?

    Hey Duck side of BYC. I know that insects, fish, and peas are great niacin filled treats for ducks, but does anyone know anymore niacin rich treats I can give them? Also does anybody know of those Manna pro floating duck disc treats are good for niacin or just in general for ducks?

    Slight leg twitch

    Alright thanks😁. Starting today at their dinner time I will put in a tab of nutritional yeast. Since this isn't a urgent case I won't put it in their breakfast since they seem to eat more at night and waste a lot of feed during the day.

    Slight leg twitch

    I have been feeding purina duck pellets and I heard a of mix answers on whether I should be adding a supplement or if this feed has enough niacin. Well starting today I will be adding small amounts of nutritional yeast. When will the effects of adding nutritional yeast kick in?

    Slight leg twitch

    Hello BYC. For a long time I have noticed that one of my ducks legs twitch occasionally. He isn't in pain, not limping, and in fact just totally ignores it. He walks, runs, lands on it, swims, stands on it, sleeps on it, and gets in and out of the kiddy pool on it. He did have a case of...

    What should duck poo look like?

    Hey BYC today I have kind of a strange question. What should duck poo look like? I have had ducks for almost a year now and was curious to see if their poo looks healthy or if I need to make improvements to my care for them?
