r/duck

There's this duck along my walking route that I noticed two days ago. I live on a main road so I'm worried that someone dumped them there. I may have given them lettuce and they are very chill. Also, they spend some time standing on the sidewalk looking into the road. I thought I'd start by trying to identify it before anything else.

EDIT: I have called the wildlife man (and sent photo) and he said he would pick up the duck in like 2 hours, but to keep him updated in the meantime if anything happens. I will probably go to take some more photos or a video to further prove its a lost duck.

EDIT2: 2:00PM - duck still there, call to wildlife man went to voice mail. A little worried, but still hopeful.

EDIT3: the wildlife man DID get back to me at like 7, and says that he has a farm the duck can go to and that he will pick them up in the morning.

Anyone knows where i can refil the egg-ink?

Queens Park in Melbourne Australia is a haven for birds. I’ve counted 22 species so far, and it’s only a medium sized park with a lake.

There’s a lone Muscovy duck that’s very friendly and goes up to people for food. I suspect it’s someone’s abandoned pet; apparently some people leave them in parks.

Its almost his 4th birthday also!

We are the new owners of three baby Indian runner ducks. This is our first time with this specific breed. We have done ducks in the past, but they have been mallard ducks. We have had chickens also. So we are not newbie to the poultry industry, just the specific breed of duck. I read that you start to tell what sex they are after just a couple weeks by their bill color? I can’t really notice a difference and they still are not quaking, which is another way that you were able to tell. We need to be able to make a run for them so I’m trying to figure out what they are so that we can divide them appropriately if needed. Right now they are enjoying my tub as a swimming spot but they are getting big enough to where they’re gonna be able to go outside very soon and need to because I want my tub back lol. We got them for their egg production. They only had three of time left, but they were supposed to get another shipment in. I called today and unfortunately, they are no longer there. So I’m worried that I might have two males and one female if anybody could help I would really appreciate it!

Just born and waiting on brothers and sisters to come.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Born Monday between 9am and 9pm.
One more egg left in the incubator my daughter added four days after these babies were started.

That one might have to be Della? 😂 or Dot but, wrong family.

He looks like a mallard, but also doesn’t. What can you all tell me about him?

Their names are Kiki and Luna ;) Thanks for the help!

I have a flock of Cayuga, but a month ago I took in 2 rescue “hens”, from two different people. One is laying, and seeks my drakes attention. Both get along great with my current hens.

The duck in question has not integrated well with my drake at all. It was on the small side when it came to me but that’s typical for a rescue. I’m now starting to believe it’s only about 10 weeks old. So I’m not sure if it’s just too young to be around my drake or if it’s actually a young drake.

Humidity has rose to 79 do I do something about this?

wasn’t like this last night. any ideas what could have happened?

I picked these little ones up from tractor supply yesterday. They were labeled as premium straight run and have pink/white feet.
