post ducks please
Had some nice mallards visiting but my neighbors dog ate the male and the female stopped coming

Here's one. I actually literally just picked him up>get call from neighbor>kid found two ducklings>mom nowhere to be found>sibling got swooped up by a raven>asked me to take care of the survivorCurrently looking into the permits I need to raise him. Enclosure has some tap water, horse oats for bedding, and a cardboard box full of paper towels for a sleeping spot. Food for the next few days is gonna be some mashed bananas, chopped spinach, and whatever bugs I can catch outside. Ordered some mealworms and proper bedding so that'll be in tomorrow. I'm gonna whittle him a wooden duck friend since his family is gone. What else do I need?

>>5011873>permits
>>5012004do you not need them? i just don't wanna get my chode chaffed because of nosy neighbors
>>5012041>>5012047tragic news. The duckling passed away the next morning. I was up with him all night, but I gave him too deep of a water pool, and he wound up starting to drown. He had stopped breathing, so I gave him light chest compressions and the best gentle rescue breaths I could by plugging his nose holes and forming a seal around his bill with my lips. That got him breathing again, so I placed him next to a space heater on a towel and tried to get him dry. He began cheeping again and seemed to have some energy, so I placed the space heater next to his enclosure, partially covered it to keep the heat in, and slept for a few hours. When I woke up, he had passed. Pretty torn up about it. The whole ordeal has me looking into veterinary first aid training so I never have to let this happen again.I already bought all the supplies for raising a duck though, so I'll be properly ready for next time. I think I'll raise a flock of my own too, since they make good garden critters.

>>5013724My roommate once saved a baby bunny from some dickhead ravens in the park. He spent the afternoon making things ready to raise it, similar to you. The next morning, the bunny was dead. Sad, but that's life. Would be interesting to know exactly why they died
>>5014238it's called an egyptian goose but yes technically it's a duck

>>5011732My duck hatched out 7 ducklings like a week ago. Pretty cute lil bastards.I forget if we got this duck or it just showed up, but she hangs out on our property and hasn't left for a good while now.

I live in the rocky mountain region and saw a pair of male and female Mandarins last year. I couldn't believe that I actually saw a pair if Mandarins in real life

Hey, guys. I live in an MST region of the US and I just saw a pair of mandarins at my job. I saw a pair last year around the same time. Any ideas why there were even mandarins in this part of the US? It's even weird that they were in the US in the first place.
sidenote, seeing a pair of mandarins on the autumn equinox feels very special.
Dumb question but what do you even do when you're at a park and a bunch of ducklings imprint on you? Leave them? I know you can't take them home with you.
>>5053077Though I'd imagine they'd be fucked without a mother so wildlife rehabilitationist?

What do you call a cross between a chicken and a duck?

>>5013724That's awful. I'm really sorry to hear that

What’s Ducks Unlimited? Is that all about k*ling the ducks? Because they were credited in a movie I saw at a mussel about bird conservation
>>5072842wetland conservation apparently
>>5013724you cooked him...

>>5013724He was probably dead anyway no matter what you did. All the stress killed him, not you.
>>5078604What did she think was going to happen?
>>5078616That the ball would go over them, but it didn't
>>5078616I'm pretty sure she was trying to get it up and over to the green, edgelord. She just shanked it is all. Fucked up, but nothing intentional.
>>5078604black twitter crucified her for this
I wouldn't bother, theres rouen ducks that are identical to mallards. Just say its a rouen duck. Get it a few friends. get it a bag of duck feed from the farm store.
>>5078800>>5011873In response to this, sorry im retarded
>>5078604Wow, broke it's neck or cracked his skull.
>>5037219only now i realise this wing pattern would make a good marpat like camoflage
>>5043399mf'er created the seagulls
i like to meet with a guy from work down at the duck pond in the village where he lives every few weeks. we just sit there for a few hours, surrounded by all kinds of ducks and waterfowl. they're all used to human presence and some of them come begging for food, i always bring a little bread for them or share my pizza with them that i sometimes get nearby when i'm drunk. i fucking love ducks, they're awesome. i feed them from the hand and watch them for hours while shitposting drunk. great times.

Remember that anon who had a duck that nested in his garden every year to raise her ducklings, I wonder what happened to him and his duck wife.

>>5011732That would go great with some peking sauce and some fries on the side. Wash it down with root beer.
My drakes are too aggressive to keep with my chickens, I might have to get rid of the drakes now.Thinking of passing them on and maybe raising some Call Ducks instead since they're smaller
>>5017231it's actually called an egyptian duck (technically a goose though)
>>5011732you just reminded it's breeding season and in a matter of a few weeks the river crossing my home city is going to be full of lil duckies
>>5037261>filenamekek
>>5011732I raise call ducks.
>>5011873A wild duck has a instinct to migrate. He will never be happy and you should get him to a rehab or be prepared for him to leave someday. If he doesn't cool. But if you cage him with his migration instinct going you will be torturing him.
>>5011873NiacinFoodGritClean water. Like 3 or 4 times a day. They will move their food into water to eat it.Make sure you feed him enough niacin and he has access to grit incase he finds something that needs grinding.Peas are great to give them for niacin, or a balanced food from a feed store for ducklings.
>>5113003Heat too. A hand warmer works great if you don't have a brood plate.Put s hand warmer under a cloth and show him a few times that it's warm. Bonus points if you cover their space from above and make him feel like he's under something
