Hi there! Welcome to The Happy Chicken Coop KZbin Channel!
Today we are going to discussing keeping ducks as pets.
Keeping ducks as pets isn't that easy.

[@inkredibill6352]

Also, if you get a duck, KEEP THEM FOREVER! Don't raise the duck then release it into the wild! STOP DOING THIS!

[@me-yi3jp]

YES!!! I’ve seen to many videos of people walking in the park and as their about to leave a random duck starts following them. it’s inhumane & dangerous!!

[@hiimrabaandilikeplayingand1771]

I have both inside and outside ducks. All are loved and well taken care of. Everyone just needs to do their homework before getting them. They are a lifetime commitment just like any animal you have. They are not throw away pets!!

what type of duck is the best?

[@evelynleon3598]

can you please inform me of how to care and what you did to care for inside ducks, i want to get two ducklings and would like to keep them inside as much as possible but do plan on building them a secure sanctuary in my backyard but i want to know everything i need before i get them

[@pezpengy9308]

im starting my homework by watching this... unfortunately it seems like a no. :(

[@JBarnard-vl8xt]

​@@evelynleon3598 this man I believe did a fantastic job at covering it all! ... best wishes... and definitely believe getting 2 is extremely important as I don't think you'll be able to take your duck to local dog park and like humans etc etc ducks too need companionship!

[@KappaClaus]

My sister in law had a duck. A true animal lover but the duck became too much for her. Just the amount of filth everywhere and the smell. She adopted the duck away. DO NOT get a ducks unless you are a farmer or have PLENTY of space inside or outside and are willing to spend a lot of time caring for the ducks.

[@calliehughes9968]

Too bad I got two I take care much as I can

[@redryder1312]

We just got a Crested duck, that my grandson found just walking up to hime while fishing. We have it now and my spouse would rescue any animal.

[@loripuryear9393]

Get a companion duck….it will be so much happier and healthy!

[@loripuryear9393]

Great, honest video about having ducks! The other thing I would mention is they aren’t like chickens, they don’t readily go in the duck house at night like chickens do….also as you did mention, daily clean water is a must! So ducks are much more of a tie down outdoor pet, meaning they will need to be looked after if you plan on traveling. Keep up the helpful videos!

[@MyDogIsABean]

My ducks were rescues, as an idiotic neighbor of my released all 17 of his ducks to fend for themselves sadly 15 of them were killed off within the first 2 nights and i decided to take the last 2 and live them dearly, they happen to be male and female and i now have 6 five week old babies that will be pets and i will never be using my ducks for meat ❤ STOP RELEASING YOUR DUCKS OUT INTO THE WILD IT WILL KILL THEM

[@annamarrs5413]

Can confirm…do NOT GET A PET DUCK. You will be taking that duck EVERYWHERE…like EVERYWHERE…on ALL VACATIONS. I have a rescue duck who lives inside. Though she spends the days with the outside birds supervised. If I leave, she leaves. If I move around she moves around. It’s a WHOLE THING. When she wants to go swimming she swims. It’s all about Hale…or we listen to the yelling. But I love her so much it’s ridiculous. I know everything she tells me. She’s got one leg and she hops around behind me everywhere. But the moment I am not within eye sight she’s SCREAMING!!! Like so so loud 🤦🏼‍♀️ she could wake the dead…She also roams around with my 4 dogs and 2 cats and everyone loves her. The cats don’t even try to mess with her because they learned A LONG TIME AGO you do NOT mess with ducks 🤣🤣 she loves to pick on my Pomeranian though and bite his toes 🤣🤣 lucky he’s the sweetest and has no teeth…😂 but anyway. The only reason we ended up with her was because of a friend hatching her from her own ducks. Otherwise she wouldn’t be here. She’s special. Typically I would NEVER have a duck as a pet. They are absolutely the most disgusting little creatures…But I LOVE them in my yard they are absolutely gorgeous to watch and so funny omg!! But yeah don’t let them in your house 😂😂

[@Aya-kn6dv]

i just got a baby duck as a gift from my uncle and i had no idea what to do with it lol he randomly sent it to me and only told me it eats water and bread as much as i love how cute she is, there are many problems here 1-im 20 and i never had a pet, my mom was allergic to fur and obsessed with cleanliness,so this is my first experience with a pet 2-i think the ducky is scared she`s sitting in the corner facing the walls and avoiding me 3-she smells bad lol, but chat gpt said it`s not recommended to use soaps on them so idk what to do 4-summer break is almost over, i study in another city and ducks hate being alone my mom said she`s willing to keep her as long as it stays in her little place that i made for her in the garden but idk i feel like she`ll get tired of it quickly which means i should get another duck for my pet but i dont even know how to take care of one let alone two

Do not feed your duck bread. Research “angel wings”

[@jessvandenberg5023]

We have 3 female pekin ducks we got from a friend at 1 day old. They are now 9 weeks, we try to handle them daily, bring them treats, give them lots of fresh pools to play in, but they ALWAYS run away from us and honk loudly. Is there a way to change this??? When theybwere smaller they would lay on us in the sun for hours....

[@annamarrs5413]

Legit our runners were the exact same way!! We spent every second we could with them. They snuggled us when they were tiny and then one day we put them in a bigger space and they were like FINALLY WE CAN GET AWAY FROM YOU!!! And I was just like 😒 fine screw your guys…All that work for NOTHING…but I can say, now that they are all grown up. When they want something or need something, they will come over to me and kind of show me or lay next to me until I notice something is up…and they also lay under my chair when I’m sitting outside. So they definitely have a different bond to me than they do anyone else. Also if I have to pick one up they are much more likely to let me do it than anyone else. So I don’t think it was all for nothing. I think that it just has to do with the breed. They just aren’t the kind that like to be handled very much. So when I do I’m very slow, calmly telling her what I’m doing. Making sure I have a good hold of her so she’s not worried I’m going to drop her. If I need to use a towel to cover around her I do. Sometimes covering their face calms them down for a sec so you can get that good grip and then if she starts to panic take it off her face and use your words to calm her and light petting with your fighters. Just always trying to keep that feeling of trust with her because that is the biggest thing with ducks is trust.

[@todplayz1414]

Where can you find pet ducks? Do you adopt them from a place or just capture them?

[@মেহেদীহাসান-ষ৭গ]

you can buy them as ducklings or buy fertilized egg and hatch them in incubator. buying adult duck isn't preferable however if you have rescued them. thats a different stories. there are lots of verities of ducks make sure to choose what you like. they need lots of protien in diet. duckweed, insects are mostly they forage. they love fish but it smells fishy

[@juliawigger9796]

Never ever catch wild birds.😊

[@pde445]

Amazon

[@YSLRD]

Online hatcheries ship them. Tractor supply or feed stores sell them, usually in the spring.

[@weewee5846]

Are duck diapers bad for the duck?

[@Noname-ni8qm]

I dont think so,if usually change it and leave it free for a while. Same for other pets . They are not like human even with cream to get irritation of the skin

[@kadenstimpson3167]

If left on for too long, it could increase the risk of infection (same with any kind of diaper)

[@Kit_Bear]

This made me hungry.

[@eitrtine3448]

You'd think stores would sex ducklings though, given drakes have a penis that would be visible to the naked eye, unlike chickens! It's so strange to me that something you would assume is easier is sometimes the least done

I was given a baby duck and he imprinted on me so hard that followed me all over me home and he slepted beside my bed. I had to take him to college at my apartment because he was too domesticated. He was never noisy and followed me outside to do my laundry. I gave him regular baths in his kiddie pool. He amswered when I called him. He was just like having a puppy really fun and pleasant. He lived 8 years or so till he passed away from old age. Rip Ducky.

[@miriamhernandez2205]

Was it hard with all the poop don’t they poop often

[@melymichu6731]

@@miriamhernandez2205 They do but it's not that bad. Walmart would give me every month these huge tv boxes to make him a house indoors. I used newspapers at the bottom and put his water bowl. He had free space to roam and never flew out till I would get back home and take him out. Once your Duckling has imprinted on you they will follow you everywhere and learn about your habits. They are smart and will come when you call them or sleep by your side when you rest. Ducks are very smart and it felt and just adapt to your lifestyle.

[@cephalopodx7587]

I literally cannot imagine the mess.

[@melymichu6731]

@@cephalopodx7587 Yeah lol at times it got messy. Especially when he would get water out of his bowl out. But I always changed the box. They sell now duck diapers for pet ducks in Amazon now in which help duck owners. They can be really awesome pets as long as you get them when they are just babies so they imprint on you.

He didn't address vermin. All poultry attract rodents. The constant access to grain, spilled and in containers, and even the poop is rat and mice paradise. You can reduce but never eliminate the problem. Same with lice and mites.
