Why is it that when you talk to a relative you haven't talked to in months and knows nothing about ducks will immediately send an article about how family raised poultry cause a big increase in cases of salmonella? According to her I should not let the little cuties sit on my lap or whatever...
I'd NEVER leave her out in the open. She has left two eggs by the fence. If I move her eggs into a plastic dog crate where I can lock the door at night or move them back into the duck house would that cause her to no longer want to set on them? If I really feel she is going to set, I want...
Hi.
I have a question. One of my ducks has laid some eggs next to our fence. So far I have found two eggs. It I do leave them and some more eggs join the group do you think one of the gals is thinking of making a nest? If she does, she would be out in the open at night and I don't want...
One of drake's high libido has lead to some of the ladies having pulled neck feathers. I have separated him with three gals he ignores. Idiot is still ignoring them. Like a guy, if the gals want him, he ignores them and if they don't want him, he can't leave them alone.
The pulled...
That's my problem with going my the "lake." All those domestic ducks just break my heart. A week ago my husband asked if I wanted to go get a burger and eat it by the "lake," I had to tell him, "No." It was the answer he expected. He ate there a few weeks ago and it even hurt his heart...
Too bad the Lucky Duck isn't closer. I have contacted the country animal control. They are going to contact me if any ducks need homes. I also wrote an article for the local paper urging people not to purchase live animals for Easter baskets. I might check with the city police station about...
Does anyone know of any duck rescues in Northern California? I'd like to rescue some from the "lake" in town but I don't want to get arrested so I'll have to go with a rescue
I have adopted two ducks a few months ago. Once I expand the duck house, I hope to adopt a few more.
Sorry. I was replying to the gal who was having all the problems and saying I was praying for her but somehow it turned out looking like I was the one having all the problems.
Please let her know that I was praying for her and her duckies. Hugs from Yvette and the feathered gang.
My membrane eggs have ceased. To my surprise yesterday I had seven eggs. Some were a little small but they are probably first eggs and are large enough to be whole eggs. I had two that did not have a yolk. I was rather surprised again this morning when there were seven eggs. 'Here...
Hello everyone.
I have a question and/or need some advice.
I have 2 older females, 5 younger females and one drake. The Drake on the Make.
My two older females have been laying eggs for months. The little KC is religious about laying every single day. The younger ones are making a...
Hello everyone.
I really enjoy all the photos of everyone's ducks. Ducks seem to be a great source of therapy. It is a great joy to see them running about the duck yards and rushing to the gate hoping for watermelon.
Is anyone else getting a lot of double yolked eggs this year? I...
I know we shouldn't but one can't help to giggle at some drama. He'd really be in a pickle of that little runner had caught her "worm." He's certainly be on the short end.
Hello everyone.
Just a funny story. I have one drake and seven ladies. Most of them are various breeds. The drake ( a WH) was trying to have some fun with the WH female when all of a sudden he shoots out of the pool with my little fawn & white runner rushing after him very intent on his...
Thanks for the photo. I'm expecting my Cayuga, and all the other breeds, to start laying any time. I'm hoping I can tell who's who in eggs! I can tell my KC & Pekin but they are from a different flock and have been laying for about 4 months. The soon to be layers are another Pekin...
