rouen duck

One of my ducks was killed by a dog today (I have 2). Sadly it was my favourite duck who was friendly and calm whilst sitting on your lap. I got another duck today (8 week Khaki) so the other one wouldn’t be so lonely. Both of them are very afraid of me. They’re both around the same age. Is...

I'm trying to figure out how tall I need my fence for ducks and my goose. There isn't many predators around, and less that can be harmful to the adult birds. Just trying to figure out how tall it needs to be to contain my girls.

A month ago I had a flock of 10 including: 3 runners(1m 2f), 4 Campbell’s (3m 1f), 2 Anconas(2m), and 1 m Rouen. We suddenly had a horrible blizzard out of nowhere one night so when one f runner disappeared (we still haven’t found her) we didn’t think much of it, we kinda just assumed she blew...

I live near a park with a pond, and unfortunately sometimes people who no longer want their pet ducks will drop them off there. A few weeks ago this happened to 2 rouen ducks, who didn't integrate into that flock and wandered the neighborhood. When they showed up to my street one of them got...

Hi, BYC buddies! I am still a newbie and raising some Rouen ducklings. I am paranoid about angel wing developing in my duckies and was wondering if this wing appearance is normal on these young ducklings? They are just starting to feather out. Thanks!

New Muscovy hen and our drake

Our new muscovy hen

I have 3 drakes and 1 hen that are 5 1/2 months old. I’ve had no problems until 3 days ago. My smallest drake (Memphis) attacked my biggest (King Louie) and apparently tried to drown him. I didn’t witness this, but my fiancé did. Since then King Louie keeps to himself but close by the others and...

So I ordered two Rouen ducklings, one male and one female. The male was marked for distinguishing purposes. The problem is the female duckling is growing much faster, and I’ve read that makes are supposed to grow faster. The ducklings are just over a week old. The female is much larger, as I...
