    Rescuing mallard duckling

    Hi, It’s been 6 weeks since my family took in a baby mallard (looked to be about 1-2 days). We found her parents roaming around our place and let the duckling go to them but they tried to snap at her neck. So, we took her back into the house. We tried looking up duck rescues around our area...

    New here! Duck advice needed!

    Hi everyone! I’ve been reading this forum for the best part of a year and have taken some great advice from it for us as new duck owners! We’re in the UK and have had two ducks for the past 7 months, a female mallard and a Khaki Campbell (we think he’s crossed with something else) drake. They...

    My Hero Duck

    I have a bit of a problem with my mallard drake, Geronimo. Over the last few months, he has become a little too big for his britches. He has absolutely no fear. Or at least when it comes to fight or flight, he will ALWAYS choose fight. Doesn't matter what it is, he struts his way right up to...

    Did God Give Me a Duck? (Domesticated Mallard)

    Yesterday morning we woke up to a female Mallard in our suburban yard. She has been sitting next to the chicken run as if she'd like to join them, and she hopped right into a plastic pool of water I filled for her. She acts domesticated, and is also missing a first metatarsal on one of her feet...

    9 weeks old Mallard following its own tail

    Hey there, My mallard, that now lives outside in a hut I build for it, has started to run in circles. It's clearly trying to reach something on its undertail. My thought was a tick or something like that. It's been doing this on and off now for a couple of days and seems to really bother the...

    Mallard duck with mixed male/female plumage!

    Thought you guys might appreciate these pics, I heard male mallards will shed after the breeding season and look more like females, I managed to snap quite a few pics of this one as well as next to male and female ducks so you can really see the difference 😃 you can kind of see the gradual change

    Raging Mallard - Ducks Hate the Drake

    Pancake my little mallard drake was bullying one of my geese relentlessly and I’ve followed this people on this site advice and separated them. So far, success. Also it turns out part of the problem was that they both feel they own me and so I now don’t pet them in each others view. But now a...

    free ranging mallards?

    I am raising two mallard ducklings from McMurray hatchery along with my other farm ducklings. I know that the farm ducks can free range because they have lost most of their flight ability, but mallards can fly well. So far, they stick around with the farm ducklings and do not really leave them...

    Is this a Blue-Swedish/Mallard Hybrid?

    We lost our "Squeaky"-duck to a predator in early January. She was a feral escape that walked cross-country onto our place one afternoon. Initially very skittish, but we became close friends and she loved to race me and our kayak around the pond. She was small-to-medium in size, and not heavy...

    Mallard opens his mouth?

    Hey y’all. I’ve got a mallard duckling, about 2 months old, and he’s got a funky behavior. I notice it mostly when they’re outside but playing in the water, but he’ll open and close his mouth a few times between splashes. He’s also done it outside of the water. It’s not panting, I know what his...

    Duckling died

    Hi so basically I found a lone duckling on Tuesday around 8 PM in my in ground pool. It was just swimming back and forth. Whenever I would go out to grab it, it would jump out and run around the yard away from me. It was weird since we live in the suburbs and none of our neighbors have ducks...
