They can be a bit much at that age, especially when they don't have enough girls to "spread their love" over. I would personally wait until he's a bit more mature and you have more females before rehoming, but some drakes just pick on one hen.

You could try posting on CL, but beware of all the scammers there.
What breed is he?

I have a potential spot to rehome him. He has never lost a duck but his ducks are living differently than our little guy has. Thoughts? This potential spot built a man made lake with an island in middke for the ducks. The 'island' has covered areas for the ducks. But very 'natural' looking. He feeds and gers vet care etc, Has never lost a duck. He says the larger predators don't swim. Thoughs? This 'lake' is literally off his back deck so the ducks are around his home a lot during the day. No idea how he trained them to do this.,But its been this way for many years now. Thoughts?

Just reaching out, is anyone else in Alabama still seeing hummingbirds? Still seeing feeders out but we haven't had any visitors since October and wondering. Thanks!

The Hummingbirds have migrated south. I just took my feeders down in case there was a straggler. They will return next march.

 

[HomesteaderWife]

@Rldad1 - Yes, generally ours arrive in mid March and leave in October. I didn't figure any were still around but wanted to ask!

Let's see the snow everyone! Be safe, stay warm, drive carefully. Been so warm here the plants were blooming and flowering again, poor roses:

Bump for the Alabamians out there, how's everyone doing with this rainy warm weather and cold snaps back and forth?

I absolutely hate the rain when it comes in torrents. I like just a good soaking rain. My goofy chickens will stay out in the rain and go to roost soaked to the bone.

Ducks have been loving it. They prefer to splash in the muddy puddles in their pen more than their pool of clean water

 

[HomesteaderWife]

Yep, our duck sure is enjoying it but his hen friend looks like a red mop! The goat is protesting it and stays in the barn.

Our ducks loveeee the rain lol. Do yall feed chopped garlic cloves to your ducks? perhaos mixed into their snacks?
