Can a goose join a duck flock?
I had two Africans that lived with my ducks and they got along well. They kind of stayed to themselves though. One would be bitey if I got too close or tried to pet her but other than that she was really nice and calm. My other goose was really sweet and liked to be pet and held. He’d yell at me... -
!! (please) HELP !! 3 wk duckling health declining !!!!!!
I think best you can do right now is probably just go ahead and use the vitamin b complex from cvs and try to get as much as that electrolyte water in her as you can too. Keep her in the shade and maybe put a fan on her if she feels hot. I hope she starts getting better -
Duck run extending into pond
No I didn’t :( I ended up not being able to and having to move and rehome my ducks. I still get to visit them though -

best geese breed
You should get at least two. They’re not that great at protecting the flock but they could be a little bit of help as long as they don’t hurt the others. I had two Africans and they were pretty nice. They were mean to my ducks at first but calmed down quite a bit. One was cranky and would try to... -

overnight without water?
I used a a small gravity waterer set inside a paint tray for mine. It wasn’t perfect but it helped a lot -
Who can help me on duck food?
I used to feed my ducks that food and every bag had mold in them and I had to just throw them away. It’s unlikely yours will but make sure just in case lol -
What sex are my ducks?
Does Dolly normally stand tall like that? She might be a blue runner instead -
UPDATE on Gilbert and quick question
That’s how it appeared to me. I want to say it may have been either a greeting or letting the other geese know that they’re getting ready to fly? They did that a lot lol maybe it can mean a few different things
