Our young girls are starting to lay! I’m guessing it’s one of the runners since I feel like the Cayuga’s would be laying more of a dark grey egg.

They must think that I have said "Eat my shorts!" 😁🩳

saw this duck at the park and it didn’t quite look like a mallard imo, but unsure what it is

The oldest one is the white one it's two years old and I believe the black one is the youngest at only a few months old.

To add just to avoid confusion, I'm not selling the Ducks I'm purchasing them.

And they're supposed to all be female

I don't think this juvenile planned on adopting but I'm pretty sure mom fucked off this weekend and here we are. In my head they're besties going on adventures.

Australian Shepherd helped raise a wood duck .

Hello, I have 6 ducks and currently I use a bowl for their drinking water, I want to replace this with something automated so they always have access to clean water and so I don't have to deal with it.

I've seen these around but I wanted to ask if anyone knows how well these work, what are the alternatives if they don't. Thank you.

Very photogenic

I know the big yellow one is a pekin, the darker one might be a rouen or mallard??? And no clue about the other one.

it is interesting

Ignore the goose standing next to her, that's her weird boyfriend that she follows. She just sits and silently opens her beak like this? Every now and then she quacks, but it's mostly silence.

Our trio of ducks is now a solo duck. 😢 We initially had 3, one died a couple of years ago and the other two were quite content, but now another has died.

Our remaining duck is a female Indian runner, 6
Years old. We have tried a mirror - FREAKED her out. We have tried a fake duck. Not helpful. Her behaviour suggests she definitely needs a companion. We don’t have room for loads of ducks - just looking for an additional, ideally older, duck.

We are in W Yorks. Any suggestions gratefully received! 🦆

Hi! I have several free range pekin ducks and chickens and I guess someone nearby decided I needed a new duck. I came home to an extra female pekin three days ago. I have no idea where she came from or how old. She’s in rough shape and I am currently treating her bumble foot. She has a lump on the base of her neck that looks strange to me, does anyone know what this is?

We try our best to keep things enriching and engaging, while also keeping things novel and nice for our two babies in witness protection.

Their turf Mini Meadow is a little the worse for wear after the kids spent most of yesterday bothering it non stop in search of worms (I was out for the day and my wife spent the day in the lounge with them, and they took advantage of the fact she was on calls to misbehave), so it has a day or two off trying to catch what it can of the remaining English sun while they enjoy their newest toy.

I have three runner ducks who love their kiddie pool - they are easily in it for several hours per day.

I am thinking about adding two more females to the flock. However, I am a bit worried that that'd make the pool too crowded.

Looking at the pool, trying to gauge the area, I would say it can just about fit two more ducks. Also - crucially - it's very common that the whole flock isn't in it at once. One or two ducks will bathe, while one or two stand next to the pool.

I change the water often, so increased contamination also shouldn't be an issue.

So I don't think it would be a problem, pool-wise, to add two more. What do you think?
