    Forced Cuddling

    Our ducks are not afraid of us, but definitely not cuddlers. After reading many posts and people mentioning picking up the ducks to look at an injury or just holding them in general, my daughter and I have been picking up 1 or 2 every day or every other day.

    Can Ducks live happily and healthy without pond

    At how old can you sex ducklings?

    As some of you already know, I “adopted” three Indian Runner Ducklings, or so was you guys’ guess. I wanted to know how old they have to be to be able to sex them. They are a week and a half. I have more pictures of them if you have any special requests. Thanks!
