Unwell duck... What's going on?
I’m so sorry for you dog, I lost mine to old age recently too and it’s definitely not easy dealing with an illness so close to loss. For now you’re doing all you can which is just fine, just keep doing what you’re doing keeping her comfortable and feeding her whatever she is willing to eat... -

Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers
The squirrel was back today and Estella and Bramble decided to walk up to it and then get it on with each other in what I assume was some sort of sordid intimidation tactic or flex. The last time I saw this form of psychological warfare was from my first ducks Henry and Hazel, then Henry with... -

What should i do to stop an aggressive female without culling.
BEHOLD THE STRING OF SHAME as modeled by Blueberry who’s a very good girl and only modeled it long enough to get a picture. There’s not much to it, you just have to make sure it’s very loose so that if there’s an emergency and it gets caught on anything the quail can slip it off fairly easily...
