    Combining to 2 groups of ducks - Advice Needed Wild Mallards & Khaki Campbells

    The 2 wild mallard ducklings I raised this summer appear to be hanging around for the long haul. Which is wonderful BUT. I have a duck enclosure that is 20 x 10 with a garden shed off the side for night time housing. Fully fenced, top and sides. I had that enclosure divided roughly in half...

    Jellybean

    Hello, I have been leaning on BYC for over a year now since "jellybean" came into our lives. His mother and other ducklings were hit in the highway, in front of my husband June 4th 2017. I received a surprise visit at work from my husband with this tiny little animal in his hand. Hardly...

    Are minted peas okay for ducks, chickens and turkeys?

    Can anyone tell me if minted peas are okay for ducks, chickens and turkeys? I know normal peas are just not sure about minted. I hate minted peas so thought I'd give my babies a treat rather than toss them out. Can anyone also what treats are suitable for them as well especially for turkey...

    Ducks not getting along

    I have 5 ducks. 3 mallards. And 2 Muscovy. My female muscovy is always getting picked on by my drake muscovy and my 2 drake mallards. They’ll bite her wing and pull feathers when they get close enough to her and she runs away making a clucking noise like a chicken. Especially in the coop area...

    I have 3 mallards (2 drakes and hen) and since the summer both boys mate with the hen in the pool. The strangest thing happened today and this is the first time that we’ve seen it happen. One of our male mallards got on top of the other male in the pool and did exactly what he usually does to...

    We made a video of our experience raising Mallards this year!

    This was our first time raising ducks and we learned a whole lot! Our coonhound, June, absolutely fell in love with these ducklings and quickly became their mom. They wouldn't even swim in our lake the first time until she got in first.
