During quarantine I decided it would be nice to have a friend, so I have decided to incubate a duck egg and document my experience. This is a new thing for me. I’ve never known a duck or really even seen one up close for that matter, but now I’ve got a white pekin and to be perfectly honest, I...

hi guys, wondering if anyone has had any luck in training their ducks? I was given my ducks when they were (what I think) around 2 months old and I've only just built up enough trust for one of the two to eat out of my hand and make it easier for me to handle them. I can call them and they come...
