Why Owning One Duck Is A Bad Idea

- Keeping just one duck is possible, but it is never ideal. Ducks almost never leave their companions, they will waddle literally everywhere together. Ducks who bond only with humans will be very dependent on that person, and be extremely stressed out every time they are left alone. Ducks have their own way of communicating with body language as well as vocal sounds and a human will simply never understand what they are “trying to say” the way another duck could. For a duck to “think it is a dog” or “think it is a human” just isn’t healthy. From a human perspective a single duck may seem fine, but we have to remember that they can’t actually speak to us and just surviving does not mean they are thriving. Ducks want to do duck things with their companions like swim in mud puddles & eat worms because that is what they do for fun. Wether it’s a human, a dog, or a chicken- a duck will be left confused as to why it’s companions won’t do these things with them. Simply loving an animal does not guarantee their happiness. Nothing can provide the level of happiness for a duck than another duck can. In many cases, ducks who lose their companions will become so sad they starve themselves to death. Of course there are exceptions to this like in the case of disabled ducks where there’s no other choice but to raise them alone- but 99% of the time choosing to raise a single duck is selfish and puts the humans wants over the ducks needs. If you don’t want to raise 2+ pets, get a solitary animal instead.

"You will never be the equivalent of a duck."
-Krissy, 2022
Truer words have rarely been spoken.
Fact: Everything in the universe is ether a duck, or not a duck.
i know and it is so true, so true
I will probably never own ducks but i will keep watching your videos because they‘re so entertaining
“Owning one duck is a bad idea.”
*My army of ducks gets closer to being real every single day…*
This is so informative but I couldn’t stop staring at Munchkin, she’s too cute

"You will never be the equivalent of a duck"
Well, my hopes and dreams are dead now
*you talking about ducks*
Munchkin: Am I a “duck”? 😳
With a duck…duck here.
And a duck…duck there.
Here a duck…There a duck…
Everywhere a duck…duck… That just pop out in my head.
WHY IS THE DUCK SO FUCKIN CUTE
Because it is a duck!
Thanks
I only own one duck, but that's because she was the last duckling available at the hatchery and they were just going to out her down if someone didn't take her
Im not telling you what to do but you may want to seriously consider getting a 2nd duck for him/her. Its so important for so many reasons.

@@teemonnorris8003 why do you care?
@@teemonnorris8003 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was funny. Good one.
Definitely at least 3! We had two hatch and then lost one, which ofc we did not expect to happen, so we currently have a lone duck. She's shacking up with our chickens until spring and will hatch some more.
I figured that playing ducks on YT for her might make her feel worse when YT isn't around. Though there are some ducks a few doors down she could chat to. She never does though.
THANK YOU for taking such good care of them, and for passing on your wisdom about raising healthy, happy quackers! You can tell they are content...even sassy Sugar! :D
Ahh I saw ur duckies in a daily dose of internet video!!💗💗
Now I'm depressed thinking of a lonely duck staring in to a mirror contemplating what it is to be duck.
Duck noir.
Such a well behaved duck
Have I ever said how much I look forward 2 your/muckin ducks vids.
Always learn/makes my day🙂
Ha Ha Munchkin thinking about giving her owner a kiss on the cheek lol 🦆❤️🤗
yeahh i have chickens and one was alone because the other one was inside laying an egg...just in a matter of seconds she was going crazy , she was so upset, screaming and all that, but shes all fine now.
When a hen is laying an egg, often the other hens cluck and squawk in a specific pattern. It’s called an “egg song” if you look it up. It’s normal behaviour lol.
I wonder how Munchkin kept being calm for like 3 or 4 minutes of video recording! 😊
Adorable. I lost the plot halfway through as i was too absorbed in watching munchkin.
All the other ducklings died during incubation and only one hatched. I have two other tween ducks but I’m so scared for their mental and physical health when they are alone:(
Generally this goes for most if not all 'livestock' birds. For some like Coturnix* Quail, any less than 4 is a problem because they like to sit on each other for warmth. Beautiful video, beautiful duck, your advice in other videos has helped me a lot with when I was starting with my birds.
what is better than one Duck.......2 Ducks!
A thoughtful and very necessary first video for duck ownership 🙌
Munchkin looks so cute !
That’s why I own 3 ducks
true!! When my duckling hatched (on christmas day!! With a little help), she stayed with me 24/7 for 4 days until her younger sister hatched. They're inseparable now, but we're currently rescuing a third duck to have three for now 😊
munchkin is like : she is Telling Truth guys you should listen to her 🙂
Congratulations on showing up on DDOI's (Daily Dose of Internet) video! And I was thinking of owning a duck in the future but im glad to know this
Can you please do a video about myths about ducks?
Love your videos and love ducks!😍💖🦆
There is an episode of the classic Dick Van Dyke show that deals with this very issue!
Don’t you mean the Dick Van Duck show? I’ll leave now
They're such sweet, loving animals and so cute 😍 if I had the resources, I'd do anything for them
How does it affect their physical development? You never explained.
I looked into ducks when I was a teenager and wondered why they were sold the way they were. Now I know. Thanks 😁
Love your videos. Always informative, entertaining, and most importantly touchy and passionate. Your videos just makes my day wholesome tbh.
I rescued a single Muscovy duckling - found the others newly hatched and all drowned. Its healthy on a week now and seems happy - we live across from the pond where it was found, but mother is long gone. Feeding it and keeping it safe with a heat lamp and monitored adventures outside. Suggestions? I asked at Tractor supply and they wont sell a single companion.
🦆🦆🦆 need 🦆🦆🦆 to 🦆
Otherwise they might quack
Man, I raised a pair of male calls and they both take turns biting my feet. LOL. Trying to get them integrated with a younger flock that I hatched out, but they are a bit too eager to do the deed for my younger girls.
I saw Munchkin in a Daily Dose of Internet video!
Same!!!!!💕💕💕💗
My mom loved that I reserved us to make bouquet with teaching. Maybe I was the worst but I made a beautiful. 😁
thank you
So that is the origin of guard ducks in movies?
"they want to mate you" gee. my wood duck bites and attacks me every day.... and she also hates her sisters...
Great video! I -personally- won't raise ducks in pairs anymore - a trio is my absolute minimum, because you really do not know what will happen, and lonely ducks are heart-breaking to keep. When Peach first moved inside, he bit me ALL THE TIME. I thought he was just unhappy, but eventually figured out I was his non-feathered "partner" - in his mind!... wish I had known earlier, and knew better ways to make him remember he was a duck, not just my 'house-duck' ❤🦆
If you only have one, would it be helpful to have them with chickens?
CUTE LITTLE DUK
Can you do something on female to male ratios?
Man it hurts being told Ill never be as good as a duck
Currently have 1 duckling the other one didn’t hatch, I’m hoping to get 2 more on Thursday
The girl is a nice ducky quaaak ❤
Krissy: She doesn't think of me as her mate. She thinks of me as her human.
Munchkin: What the duck is a human? Oh quac, do i have to cancel tonight's candle-light dinner at the Rouge?
A have a one duck and he is my only duck because his friend died and whe got 4 and they dien soo a pute a chicken in his haus and they are the best friends sooo can that whork❤
More ducks the better!!!!!!!!
I've learned something today ! Thank you! Is it important to mix gender or can you have only females ? Or only males?
You can keep only females, only males, or have a mix of both. But when you mix both genders it is extremely important to have at least 3 females for every 1 male. This is because the males are really rough with the females during mating season, and can injure them very easily if they don’t have enough females to mate with
I'll never be equal to a duck😭
what type of duck is that
Quack
Happy Cat!
@@Martiganz_ well hello
@@Amanda.Porciuncula Hi!
So sugar is just naturally angry huh
maybe you can shed some light on this issue Im having , I bought two Pekin ducks and they were 5 days old when I brought them home, since then I spend may hours with them hand feeding etc,, each day that goes by the become more and more skittish, no idea why, instead of becoming tamer where I can walk over to them calmly they run away, what's up with that,
You dont own them, they own you!
I love you
i need help i rescued a egg and hatching it rn but my mom said i am only allowed one
"You will never be another duck". Hard truths for the furry community.
But why get 2 when you could get 20?
we must crush the ducktriarhy
👀 what the duck?
What about pigeons?😂
So... Is that why Sugar attacks you?
Such a cute ducky 😫
😶 i hav a pair of Moscovy ducks. The male is especially closed with me. And sometimes he does try to mate with me and pinches me *hard*. And i just be like 'Bro, u have 2 female ducks (1 Moscovy and 1 of a breed idk but she looks quite like Dunkin) so y don't u mate with them instead?!' 🥲🥲😶😶😂😂😂
You are soooo beautiful ❤️
Just make sure to get 4 girls and 2 boy ducks lol.
Rats are like this too.
Fixtate on other ducks.
Male ducks sound like jerks
You should definately not look up how ducks mate, or the connection to the word, "Corkscrew".
Pretty confident you won't see THAT on this channel.
@@xanadu6784 I just looked it up after reading this.. kinda traumatized.. didn't know they're rapists 😑
@@119892223 I keep ducks, and its certainly...jarring...to see their mateing habits, but luckily, you can't judge them by human standard. Originally my housemate was the one to get the ducks, and I thought I would be horrified, but its not as bad as it sounds.
Usually the Hens shake themselves off, and go back to eating right next to the drake that just mated them. Duck mateing is about as upsetting for Ducks as taking the last slice of Pizza, assuming you have a good hen/drake ratio and arn't stressing the girls too much.
@@xanadu6784 🤔 thank you for the explanation. I guess I'm a little less traumatized now lol
