she needs other ducklings to keep her company.

it's a type of coating. Google it. I am not sure where you live or if it's available there...If it's safe for ducks?

I got two adult male ducks from someone in a trade. They stayed inside their cage for a couple of days. When I started letting them out, I would have to chase them and catch them to put them back in their predator proof cage. After the first day or two of me having to physically put them in...

I recommend welsh harlequin for a good dual purpose bird. They lay like crazy. maybe it's a blue Swedexblue runner

there's a story about this in storey's guide to chickens. They tried and tried, then one day after it had been storming and cold and windy for a time, she said "tuck, tuck, tuck" like a chicken calling others for a treat. He stretched his neck and came running. It's a very funny story the way...

thanks star :thumbsup

We're you able to read the thread? Because the female mallards can fly away. I figured Ebony being a mallard may convince them that they are not okay. and that was just one drake with Ebony. Imagine if there were 4 or 5 of them to corral and trap.
