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...

Hello friends,
I recently hatched som runner ducks(my first ducks ever) and I was going to let them swim in the pond that I had in my garden for years. It's nothing special just an artificial pond with some gold fish, but I read somewhere that there can be harmful bacteria so I was thinking...
I have recently purchased two goslings (hatched a week ago). As I was leaving for work this morning I checked on them to find that the bulb on my heat lamp had blown in the middle of the night and the smaller gosling of the two had gotten in the waterer and was soaking wet and laying on its back...

Hey y’all, I have 4 three week old goslings, and was wondering if you can keep week olds with them or if they might get injured. Any feedback is appreciated!

Hey y'all!
My husband just built me a new goose coop! I'm excited to move them in, but I need some guidance on what to use as a "floor". We don't have one in there due to these birds being absolutely disgusting. 🤢 I think it would be more of a headache for me to try to clean WITH a floor as...

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...
Hello everyone!
My wife and our four children bought four ducklings last night from rural king and are wanting to figure out what breed they are.
They came as an assortment in the brooder at rural king so the lady helping us didn't know what breed they were. Also for the professionals if you...
Hi. I am wondering what would the goslings be like from a pure brown female Chinese goose, bred to a pure white Chinese gander? Would they be splash coloured offspring? I have never bred white Chinese geese to brown Chinese geese so I have some questions on this. Any help is greatly appreciated...
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...
Any hypothesis on what could've caused this? Swollen gizzard, shrunken and purple heart, pale organs, and extremely underweight. There was no fat anywhere on him including his heart. He ate plenty, but started collapsing every month until he suffered a seizure and died. He was a rescue and...
