    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    All good here. 5 duckies still doing well - managed to get through the odd health complaint - I’m becoming quite the vet! I love my ducks, even on the lowest of days - they always cheer me up 🫶🏼

    Duck suddenly cant walk please help

    How did you get on? I have had massive issues giving mealworms to my ducks. I used to given them as treats and now I don’t give them at all. One of mine got fluid all around her belly and I had to drain it off with a syringe. I was so lucky it worked because ascites is normally irreversible. I...

    Are they ready to go outside yet?

    They look beautiful! I didn’t move mine out until 10 weeks but only because we were waiting for house to arrive. This is our set up. I started by letting them spend time in the pen and house then went for it. They were fine. I put lots of bedding in and they had a mummy teddy and stuff at the...

    Electric Gate

    So my ducks are a nightmare. Today is re-fence making (it was crap in all fairness). Watch my 10 month khaki’s. They’re getting their wings clipped again too. But Delilah goes under the fence?! I have no idea what to do!! Damn no videos, this is the gate, electric and heavy wood. I’ve never...

    PHOTO - POORLY LEG

    Thank you both, I found this photo of bumblefoot…looks pretty much the same! So yup, think it’s early bumblefoot. She had a lovely warm bath with her friend (who was very pleased to be invited), then they had a snuggle on the underfloor heating so her foot got nice and dry. I’ve got some vet...

    PHOTO - POORLY LEG

    Hi there, One of my ducks is limping, I’ve examined her… attempted to apply my skills as a doctor unsuccessfully!! The only thing I can see but I don’t know whether is something to worry about is perhaps she’s stood on something. I’ve attacked photo of right and left foot for comparison...

    Muddy garden!

    Thanks everyone. I think I’ve decided to just section it off early spring and put some heavy duty seed down and some of the black weave things over the heavy traffic bit… might be a case of doing this every summer!! 😬 It’s literally mud now! Good job they’re cute!!

    Duck in Puppy Phase

    I’ve got four girls and one boy - they’re very similar. They live outside but they come in at any chance. Their latest trick at the minute is that as soon as they hear the car start they run to the gate (it’s electric) to escape and run to the stream. They’re just so naughty! Your boy looks...

    Duck Garden Ideas?

    Mine love herbs of any kind! They like lavender too. I have a similar area and planted wild flowers and just so many herbs. Mine love spinach and tomato plants… as you can imagine, they don’t last long but love watching them! :-)

    Muddy garden!

    Hi there, My beautiful clan, as I expected (!!)… have wrecked the garden. I live in England (wet winter!) and we have a garden that goes around the house. At the front there’s raised grass with two trees (that’s fine). Then on one side they have a pond and flat stones. We have a big driveway...

    Bedtime?

    Yeah it’s crazy. I’m in the UK. We live next to/kind of in a woodland but kids are noisy. We’ve got dogs and cats… which I doubt would defend but it’s just means we’re noisy and the pen is metres from our house. But there’s definitely foxes about and god knows what else! I think I’m going to put...

    Bedtime?

    Yup they love peas! And sweetcorn! Oh that’s good to know that you’re a similar time. They’ve just started laying. We’ve had five eggs this weeks!

    Bedtime?

    Thank you. I think I’d just got used to the summer… I feel mean putting them to bed so early, seems such a long time to be in their house. Saying that… I don’t think they’d appreciate being eaten either by Mr Fox!

    Bedtime?

    Hi all, I was wondering what time you put your ducks to bed? This is my first winter with ducks and it gets dark so early. We have Alexa alarms that blast through our house at 5pm but when I came back today it was dark by 4:30pm. My ducks free range all the time from when they’re let out of...

    New Ducklings!

    Hi, I’ve joined as I’ve wandered onto this website quite a few time looking for information about my ducklings. I live in the SW of England. So two weeks ago I got five Khaki Campbell ducklings which seemed to have tripled in size! We have four ducks and one drake. The drake was born a few days...
