2023年6月11日 · We’ve raised several broods by incubating as well and even with human interaction, they are quite high-strung. If you are looking for a pet duck, I might suggest looking at a few other breeds in the farm duck world. My mom keeps Welsh Harlequins & Cayuga and they are extremely friendly - raised in a very similar manner to my Campbells & Runners.

As a good rule of thumb, if it can make a person constipated, it can do so to a duck.-Feeding high protein items, (like eggs, bugs, etc) will make a duck's poop smell worse than normal.

2018年1月23日 · Males are tons quieter than females lol and it seems that more females to males is a good ratio. My Swedish duck lays an egg a day for 2 weeks, skips a day, then starts the cycle over. I’ve found that ducks are smart and sweet, with defined personalities and cute habits.

2009年6月18日 · IE I plan to have 4 hens, but I could have 2 hens, 1 duck and 1 goose, so long as it's not more than four FOWL. Read the law AND call your animal control department AND the zoning department too, and any homeowners (not an issue in my neighborhood) Be sure you get a clear definition of fowl... if you assume they mean ANY fowl it may bite you in ...

2012年6月2日 · For a long time I've wanted a pet duck, and I think it's finally time to bring one home. Problem is they aren't technically legal in my city. I'm considering the possibility of an indoor duck, though I do have a small pond in my yard. I think I want to get a Rouen duck. What I'm wondering is...

2021年4月27日 · Got a question about keeping a wild mallard duck. This duck showed up in our yard about a year ago. We were confused as to why a mallard duck showed up and never flew away when we approached it. It only walked away or did little flaps to getaway. We put her with our other ducks at the time to...

2011年11月9日 · DH went to the farm store which did not have the suggested wound care products, but did have Vetericyn (antiseptic, antimicrobial,ect) spray. We sprayed the wounds with the Vetericyn & settled them into the mud room. The least severe duck even started quacking (talking) to the other duck when they were settled in for the night.

2008年11月2日 · Any duck will make a good pet. It all depends on how they are raised. From day one you have to handle them. As they get older, continue to handle them and give them treats. Females are loud and will quack quite a bit. Males are quiet and whispery.

2015年11月9日 · They are considered to be very calm which makes good pet ducks. There are different size ducks light, medium and heavy breeds so I chose a light breed reasoning that they would put less stress on the younger plants and produce more manageable amounts of waste. I reasoned that an 8 pound duck will produce twice the waste as a 4 pound duck.

2021年5月12日 · We have a Pekin duck with a wound that smells rotten and is infested with maggots. I think this is beyond our ability to treat. What is the best way to humanely put her down? I saw a technique for culling chicks that used an airtight container with ether (starting fluid). Would this be a quick and humane way to euthanize a full-grown duck?
