Yes. I am adding more girls a little at a time. I know it's off but the original group of four have been doing great together until Spring hit. Now hormones are raging and so I added these 2 cute muscovies. The boys don't want anything to do with these new girls yet. It's only been since...

Hi everyone, I am trying to fix my ratios with my males and females. I recently added to muscovy females to my group of four with 2 male magpies and 1 male and female khaki campbell. The magpie males are being a bit jerky to the muscovies. I know they are a bit different in their behaviors...

@CyndiD Thank you much for all the pics. You have a great area for all of them. I love the idea of the fencing. I'm going to talk to my husband about doing something like that

Tractor supply. I like it because it has steps for them to get out. It's still slippery though

@MandyJ @CyndiD This is my setup. Last night I split it basically down the middle with the ex-pen fence and that worked great. Of course everyone is upset about it but it did seem like the girls are happy to be on their own. This morning the girls are in the pen and the boys are free...

What is your duck pen like? Can the ducks and drakes see each other? Tonight I'm going to split our pen down the middle, girls on one side boys on the other, using an exercise pen fence. It's only 3 feet tall so I'm concerned they will fly over it

@Ren2014 @CyndiD @MandyJ Thank you all so much for your help. This is harder than I thought it would be. They have all been free ranging together for months now and they look so sad split up. I know it's just me putting my feelings on them but I know it's for the best. It's just going to...

I am really in need of some help with my flock. I have only been a duck mommy for a few months and I am still learning all about them. I have 13 ducks of different breeds (7 male, 6 female). I know my ratios are way off and I have been working on that. I have two dominant male pekins who...

Ok thank you so much for your help. We have some decisions to make :)

Ok as an alternative, what is the least amount of females I could add? I have read three females to a drake but could I get away with less?

Thank you. I pretty much knew this all along but I wanted to wait and see. Do you have any advice on how to find good homes for them?

I am in need of some help deciding what to do with a slightly aggressive male pekin I have. My first group of ducklings I got this year gave me 2 females and 4 males. Then we rescued 4 more ducklings which gave us 3 males and 1 female. So now we have an abundance of males but we love them all...

My 2 month old Pekin Donald did have a raspy voice so we thought he was male but today he has a peep peep or squeak squeak sound. Is this normal for males or could he be a she? We have another Pekin same age with a definite loud quack so we're confident on her gender.

Thank you so much for your input. I actually have now seen a lot of this shaking when I am putting my younger pekins in with the older group. Sometimes a few of my older ones, and by older I mean just a couple of weeks, will try to peck the younger ones. I am still keeping the two younger...

Ok thank you. I will try them in the tub tomorrow. I know they will love that. All they want is to be with us. Our other ones have not been attached to us at all. @Amiga

Thank you. This is our plan for them. The pekins have been in a separate pen next to the main one. The babies are still in the garage with a heat lamp. It will be some time before they are with the big kids. I actually have another question if you are willing...these same babies we got...

Thank you so much for your info. I have experience integrating new chickens to the flock but not ducks. I'm hoping it's about the same. I will be slowly putting these 2 pekins in with the other 6 I have in about a week when they are fully feathered. I hope things go ok. The babies still...

Quote: We are right there with them the whole time. When this shaking happened my daughter was holding the babies and I was holding the pekins. It just surprised us a bit. Only one did this behavior. The other one was fine.

I have a question about my pekins. I have 2 that came to me from a neighbor. They are about 6 weeks old and are in their own pen next to my other ducks. We got two more babies last week who are about 2 weeks old now. We bring the babies outside to sit with us and yesterday we brought the...

Thank you for the great info on plants too!
