I asked this because I’m getting ducks this late July but I am ordering them as eggs and incubating them myself. I also needed this time to set up and prepare for raising ducks as you guys know it’s a big task and if you’re ill prepared for it that is really bad. so anyways, are ducks still laying fertle eggs so I can hatch them or that time only in spring??

Please also link it, also cheap!!!!!

around 2 weeks ago i shared the duck we found on the road (left side pekin one) my dad found someone reliable last week and instead of my grandma we gave it to the that person (my grandma also lives in a totally different city so it was gonna take a while to give duck to her) this is just an update since i said i was gonna update it. the person we gave got her a new friend too! she's doing fine and alright, thanks to everyone who replied and helped.

Recently i found a duck on its own in the road next to his deceased brother, i put him in a bush and about an hour later came to check he was gone but he was still there so ive taken him in, we have him in an enclosure with a heat lamp but he seems very lethargic and when he does move he seems very unstable, he is pruning and wagging every now and then, is he gonna be alright? is there anything we can do to get him to eat?

After rain comes dirty ducks

I’ve been feeding the ducks at my neighborhood lake every day for nearly four years. The ducks are mostly mallards & a single Muscovy, but this time of year we have a lot of Egyptian geese; they always eventually leave. I feed my ducks whole kernel corn and/or mazuri floating pellets. I’ve always had positive feedback from the community, and not a single complaint has ever been verbalized to me in four years.

Last week, HOA sent an email asking residents (aka ME) to stop feeding the ducks. These ducks anticipate my arrival every evening and to just suddenly STOP… it was really hard. So I reduced my weekly feedings from 7 days to 3. I also replied to the email offering to pressure wash all the benches and sidewalks, but it was ignored.

Yesterday, this email was sent out. They mention relocating, but as far as I know the Egyptians are invasive here so that’s not exactly an option. I think they just threw that in there for fluff. It would be a horrible injustice to these beautiful birds if the HOA follow through with this threat, and I’d surely never forgive myself, so I’ve reluctantly stopped feeding them entirely as of tonight.

I really feel singled out, and maybe even bullied a little bit over an issue that’s never even been a thing before and to which nobody has approached me to discuss like grown-ups. There are numerous things in the community that require attention and should be of a higher priority but this is low-hanging fruit.

Am I the asshole here?

I am not at all knowledgable about ducks. I live on a 5 acre lake in the mid west. I was wondering if a floating platform with a roof and sides, placed about 15 or 20 feet offshore in about 10 ft of water would offer enough protection from weather and predators?

Two of my Ducks (Khaki Campbell & Mallard Hybrid) Brooded up and had 3 babies each (2 Black, 2 Yellow, 2 brown how neat). I have two males who are the assumed Studs ( Mallard, Pitkin). They show no aggression towards the babies that are growing up. However, when they mature, fearing the repercussions of interbreeding would I have to get another Stud and get rid of the two dads or will they not do Natures bidding and try to breed the offspring.

Any tips or the straightforward answers will be very helpful.

I've had the 2 big ones for a few weeks now, just purchased the 5 small ones today. The big ones are attacking the small ones when they get too close and I'm not sure if they're genuinely going to kill them or not. Should I separate them? If so for how long?

Hi, I’m building a duck run and coop for later this month, and I’m thinking about pea gravel for the run. I’ve be seen good things about it online bc it’s very easy to clean. I’m a little unsure about the prices varying from $75 to $200, so I was just curious if anyone here has pea gravel, how much I should expect to budget, and where they got it. I’m in SC for perspective. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Found egg floating in the duck pond today, and it had this weird bubble on it!
