    Our first winter!

    Today we saw snow for the first time, which was all wet because of the day's rain. We loved it! We followed our mommy around the big muddy puddles and ate snow... We even saw a little snowman.

    Hi from La Mesa, San Diego!

    My daughter who’s almost 9 aspires to be a vet. We already have 2 dogs and a green cheek-conure. We thought Cayuga ducklings would make a good hardy pet! This is all new for us and I’m looking forward to learning all about proper care for them!

    Dehydrating wet feed

    Hey all! With the freezing cold this past week the duck crumble will freeze up as they eat and drink. This has caused a lot of wet food and I'm going through a ton if it!

    New to Group

    My name is Grant and I have two pet ducks. They are the hatchlings of a pet Pekin and Swedish Black. They have been lovingly handled as pets from the moment they were hatched, so they are decidedly PETS. We live in a developed neighborhood where you wouldn’t expect ducks or chickens...

    Hello all, so I went in to TSC 3 weeks ago and happened to look at the ducklings, when I noticed a duckling on the smaller side that was missing an eye.

    Building a small duck run

    Yesterday I started building a predator proof duck run. It’s about 6x7. It’s only two feet high, so the top will be able to open up on either side. I have no building experience so I tried to make it as simple as possible. Here’s some pictures of what it looks like now. The fence is all the...

    New duck mom

    Hi everyone! I have 2 Swedish ducks that live in my suburban back yard and are my pets. Any advice on keeping them safe during the day would be welcome. I have cover from hawks and they have a great coop at night but I worry about dogs, coyotes, and foxes during the day. Thanks!
