Common mistakes new duck owners make

[@parryyotter]

I don’t think ANYBODY knows you can’t sell a single duck because it’s not shared anywhere or enforced.

[@Ghost-ql6tn]

Yeah this is the first time I've heard of it, but I've never tried to buy a duck so hopefully it's being enforced here even though that's wishful thinking.

[@goosesnapcat]

it is enforced at most feed stores

[@NoriMori1992]

@It’s Me How would someone know that ducks don't do well solo, if no one ever told them? It sounds like a lot of people watching this video didn't know, so it's kind of strange to ask "but why would you do that anyway?" Because they didn't know they shouldn't, obviously!

[@MoistOwlettes]

@@NoriMori1992 the irony here is you’re asking that question with the same device someone else would use to research a topic before investing into it. Or do you buy random shit on a whim without bothering to look into it?

Another tip: scoop up the ducklings from below when you need to carry them instead of grabbing them by the torso.

Ducklings in a watermelon! Excellent use of the rind 😁.

[@niamqqq]

Also tips for new duck owners: make sure to not give them mealworms as a main diet, even though mealworms do give benefits to ducks, too much is bad for them because they will be lacking some beneficial nutrients that help them survive.

[@ceelothatmane9421]

Y’all are weird. Those duck survive without human interference living on bugs and nature.

[@CharlieApples]

@@ceelothatmane9421 No wild duck eats only mealworms. Their natural diet is varied, they eat lots of vegetation, not just bugs.

[@CharlieApples]

Mealworms are also very rich in fat, which you have to be careful about. Birds don’t get fat like mammals, they store excess fat in their livers and that can kill them over time.

[@ceelothatmane9421]

@@CharlieApples so basically you just repeated what I said? Either way that wasn’t really the point I was making. Why are humans feeding ducks? They are wild animals. They will eat when the instinct tells them too. Making animals dependent on humans is what homeless stray dogs can’t survive without us. We ruin animals with our incessant desire to domesticate. I just think it’s super weird to put so much time and dedication into wild animals who are apart of an energy/food chain when there are humans still in dire need. Solve human problems before digging your fingers into other specie’s lives. That’s how I see it. Has nothing to do with the diet.

When we got our rescue ducks egg and he hatched we were in a rush to make sure he survived. He was extremely small and his egg wasn’t even a normal size either so we were trying to get him to eat something and dry up as quick as possible so my dad drove to the pet store and they had no duck food so he asked if chicken food would work. They said yes so we just took it and began trying to feed him. Please make sure to do your research on a animal before getting it, only reason I didn’t was because we weren’t expecting to have a duck but didn’t want his egg to die so we took him in. We made sure to take him to the lake to visit other ducks and soon enough when he was grown he left. Hope he made it out safely :)

[@goosesnapcat]

hope you didnt just release a domesticated duck :(

[@Url0cal_crackhead]

@@goosesnapcat nope, we found his egg next to a pathway and a lake. It wasn’t in a nest, and there were no other eggs around, and we weren’t even sure if he was a duck because the egg looked way too small. He was probably the runt of the group and was left behind but just in case we stood around close by for a bit and sure enough, no duck even looked in his direction. We already had experience in caring for birds and already had a incubator at home so we took him in and he did hatch and survive.

Can confirm, always get more than 1 bird friend. I was given a chicken in late fall (so no stores selling chickens, and I'm the only chicken farmer the family knows that even has a rooster), with no way to get another for them to have company. I raised them alone, and when I released them into the coop. They were terrified of the other chickens (even though she was already bigger than some of my most recent hens, cause they were some small breed), and ended up sitting with the pigeons. Took almost a full year before she stopped getting up with the pigeons, and figured out she was in fact. A chicken
