    Quiet wild duck species

    I'm building an aviary for some wild duck species. I've done lots of research and will probably get some mandarins and ringed teal. Not sure about other duck species. I need ones that aren't too loud as I have neighbours right next door. Mainly dabbling ducks I'm looking at but may consider...

    What happened to the gosling?

    I rescued some baby gosling eggs a couple weeks ago, and had one hatch Sunday night. After about 12 hrs of no progress but still breathing I decided to go ahead and help assist it. I removed the top portion and they were able to get out on their own, yolk sac absorbed. We named this one Meadow...

    Broody Duck In The Winter!?

    It is the middle of winter here in Alabama and I have a Muscovy hen going broody. We're in the middle of January! I don't understand what’s going through her mind, other than she's a Muscovy duck and they just love the process of hiding and sitting on eggs. I don’t think this is a good idea...
