it would make good compost..... but either find a place to dump or bag it and dispose.

my opinion very likely chance it just has neurological issues. if it only happens rarely or not a lot i think it still live a happy life. if it becomes more frequent... well that's if it is truly neurological. some smart folks will chime in I'm sure.

my feed mill carries prince foods so i buy it like that. i prefer all flock because i have turkeys and chickens and ducks. just go in ask if they can mix an equivalent ive never been to a feed mill that will not help you with a plan.

Maybe allow the drake to stay in with the hens. maybe there bonded.

they are getting plenty of sunlight right? no shortage of food. no kids chasing them around? stress is huge. its even possible the drake is mating to much stressing them out

id say rouen mom.... to hard to judge for dad

id definitely say you got duped. id say its def a mix if i had to guess a mix between welsch and Appleyard. but it could be a lot of things

go to a local feed mill. they will have much higher quality feed. at a much more reasonable rate

for young ducklings i think personally fine wood shavings work the best. can go a couple days without changing and if its outside can stir it up and extend the life some. and doesn't break the bank

i apologize if you took what i said to heart against you. i in no means was saying you meant to or your neglectful. we all have our opinions on things. stuff like this happens and its tough. i personally would rather seperate my males. for a few weeks so ducks can live with ducks its...

i agree as why i said supervised visits. but imo keeping a duck by itself is neglectful. just my opinion maybe rehoming is the best bet..

i personally would avoid using hay or straw.. when it gets wet it gets slimy.... not bad for the ducks. not so great for us to walk on and or pick up when cleaning. what you have otherwise will last a long time! i mean eventually the poop will catch up depending how many ducks you got.

sorry to hear that and your loss!

the bottom pic makes me think there welsh

I personally would put her out there and see what happens. supervised visits one would say all my ducks get put in with the adults at full feathering which is around 5 weeks. i don't get to many problems with overly aggressive drakes. but it happens i separate that drake for awhile.

as long as it seems shes taking care of em. dont worry about it. and yes ducks are not very fragile with the ducklings... theyll be okay

wi 5$ a dozen

i personally love metzer they get all my business online.. and there ducks seem to always do better then hoovers.

itll def help prolong the poop mess but it is inevitable. speciallt when winter hits. all the poo will create a layer you cant just wash off and cant wash it off when its freezing... the best and only true method to keep your lawn is moving them around.

i have a few ducks that refuse to go in the pools theyll drink out of em but will not go in. i just let them make there decisions
