We are totally perplexed and fear the worst. Hoping for the best tho. Either way, situation No Bueno.
After losing our or beloved 6 & 1/2 year old Khaki drake to a testicular tumor, we adopted / rescued a 1 & 1/2 yr old Khaki drake to be a new boyfriend (and 3rd set of eyes) for our two 4 &...
So I pulled a stupid and when I clipped my girls' wings after molting I only clipped a few feathers. I thought I would clip more if I thought they might get out of our yard. Every morning they fly 100 feet or so to where the food is and the rest of the time they are just content to waddle...
I have raised two muscovy ducks from ducklinghood: a girl and a boy named Ducky and Dinger, (now about five months old.) I thought it was a good idea to get another lady for Dinger, so two weeks ago I brought home a new adult female muscovy named Jamboree.
Two days ago, I woke up to find...
I rescued two malnurished ducklings that were dumped in a city pond (central texas) almost exactly two years ago. With lots of niacin, crumble, and advice from here, they turned out to be a lovely male Pekin and Khaki female that were incredibly bonded. I had never personally owned any birds...
Hi there! Two of my ducks have recently had ducklings and they stay in a shed at night. The other ducks prefer to sleep outside but two nights ago one of my adult ducks went missing. Thismorning I woke up to two more of them gone. They were all very healthy and no signs of a struggle so I’m just...
I've had two domesticated mallards for about 2 years. Both have their primary flight feathers partially clipped.
Yesterday while I was at work, the drake either found a way to fly/get out or something got him. There are no signs (feathers, blood, etc) that he was attacked and no signs that a...
Came home an hour after my husband had left (everything was fine then) and my flock was up by the road which they never do and one hen was missing. Then my two ducks were nowhere to be seen and they are always with the chickens. So I start walking our property and then check our brook. I found...
So the other day my drake and one of his mates went down to the pond to have one of those “party nights” that ducks seem to have in the warm weather I tried to get them into the coop before but it turned out in them hiding away for a day so I decided to let them both stay in, he has another mate...
Hi guys!
Tonight I put up about 90 flyers in the area and got a call from a man who said he saw him about a mile from the house at a Home Depot flying low and taking breaks, walking. He thought it was odd because he was alone. He ended up flying towards a stream that spans a few townships but...
i posted earlier about how I thought something happened with my male
Mallard. After searching my backyard even more I see no sign of struggle or harm, just an open hutch door and a few missing eggs (I’m assuming my dogs wouldn’t have found / been interested in all of a sudden eating those eggs)...
Hi guys,
I have three ducks. One male Pekin, one male Mallard and one female duck whose all black win some white speckles on her chest. They’re all best friends and totally comfortable around people. We raised them inside and we treat them as pets.
They have a hutch and every night we put them...
I had two ducks that grew up together along with all my chickens, and I accidentally left the coop door open one night. That night one of the ducks went missing, and the one left has gotten depressed. I don’t know if he eats or drinks because I leave before I get to see, but he’s very distant...
