Just got this Drake today, saw some missing feathers on his chest and wanted to know if I should be concerned,

I live by a residential, wooded pond in southwest FL. Moscovy ducks come by with chicks all the time but only adult Mottled ducks, no ducklings.

Does anyone see Mottled ducklings? Why am I not seeing chicks?

Good morning. I have a quick question. I have four ducklings, 3 weeks old. They are very rambunctious and curious if course and I think bored in their crate. I give them bath play time daily and when possible, outside time. The other day I heard a commotion in their crate and they had gotten ahold of some foil somehow, I don't know how, and were going nuts all trying to tear it apart.I opened the door and got it out away from them and covered the lower half of the sides of the crate so they can't reach their heads out and grab stuff. My question is, well, now I'm scared to death of what they might run into in the free world when they graduate to their big DUCK pen. Any feedback? and are my fears real??? Is this normal? Thank you and here's a pic for your viewing pleasure.

I was planning to replace my backyard chickens with some ducks. Most of my chickens have now passed away, but one is still standing.

My question would be then: Would it be possible to introduce ducks to that lone chicken, and have them be able to cohabit, or would it be preferable to wait for that last chicken to also pass away before I do that?

Some other posters have added the contents of their first aid kits for ducks and after an extended hospital stay and surgery for one of mine, got a couple things that I added to our basket of stuff. Abdominal surgical pads (we’ve been cutting the pads into triangles to cushion the webbing between her toes and also to make a paddle shape to go over the triangles) and thick gauze wrap or cast padding rolls (wrapping that loosely over the other padding but under the vet wrap). Whatwedointheupdog suggested duct tape under the booties to keep them dry and our vet samesies that but use smaller strips to cover the whole bootie, so we also got some festive colors of that so she looks stylish during her recovery.

I just joined, thought I’d make it official with a pic of my butterball triplets. Hi! 👋

Just wondering what kind of duck this might be?

One of my ducks was bitten by a potentially rabid dog. Are ducks susceptible to rabies?

It kinda sucks, but I love him. His name is Elton :)

Can't find duckling mash to buy - how does this look as a recipe? Blitzed fine and adding a cup of course sand for eating grass / clover etc

so a few of my neighbors have ducks they they let wander the neighborhood. two of them are always in my backyard hanging out with my boys (they’re in an enclosure) one duck laid a bunch of eggs in my yard. how long do i wait till i can dispose of them? i just dont want them rotting since they’re right up on my house. i don’t believe they’re fertilized since the ones mate is gone-assumed dead- hes been mia for weeks.

Something broke into my enclosure early this morning and killed one of my sweet babies 😭 I brought the other one inside for now until we know what to do but now she’s all alone. I’m so sad and heart broken. I knew something was wrong when I went to bring them their food and water this morning and Queso was cowering in the corner. I found pickles throughout my yard. This is heart breaking, I am devastated. Looks like whatever it was tried to get queso as well but she got away 😭😭 my heart is broken

My little ducklings are getting rambunctious and growing so fast. We are working on their big dick house and want a ramp to their door which has an automatic door on it. My question is how much of an incline is comfortable for them?

Can any one identify breed and gender? We are thinking Welsh Harlequin but we aren't sure on the gender!
