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.
@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!
@@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?
@@nyancat8828 LOL I was going to ask that too... Saeraneth even beat me to THIS comment as well... I guess that's what I get for being late to the party!
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.
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.
@@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.
That is one of the ways The other way is no one really cares and there's not enough law enforcement officers to deal with every single duck and human So it's just thrown to the side and more important things are worried about by the officers
The predator proof enclosure was the biggest challenge. We ended up having to coat out structure with wire that was almost hardware cloth it had such small gaps. I swear the local predators are horrible in my area…
I never knew it was illegal to buy a single duck. When I was a kid my grandma took me to the farm and feed store and bought me a single duck as a pet. Best dang pet I've ever had. I spent more time with my duck than any other pet I've ever had. The only time we weren't together was when I was in school. He would follow me around everywhere I went. I could roam the neighborhood and he would be there waddling behind me. He was definitely my best friend ♡
I reallyyy want ducks, my grandpa used to have one when he was a kid and they were inseparable so he’s always wanted to get me some. I’m hoping that next year I’ll have the proper space for them.
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 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.
They sell ducklings and chicks every spring and I have seen many people just buy one. No one has ever said anything about a law that you cannot buy just 1.
It's so sad to see. Over Spring Break I saw a family buying a single duckling as an Easter gift. They talked about it and treated it like a toy. The kids were screaming at it and shaking it around. I didn't stick around long enough to see if they were allowed to buy it, but I sure hope not.
I like seeing knowledgeable people pass on information on the care of different animals. As long as it’s sound advice and research/experience was acquired, fair play. 👍 Whoever came up with the baby ducks in the watermelon pool is a creative genius. That was one of the cutest things I’ve seen. ❤❤❤
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
we had a duck with our quails years ago, it was a resque and grew up with the quails (we hatched the quails around the same time as we got the duckling) and when the duck grew up it acted just like the quails xD making/mimicking the male quails calls! pretty sure he thought he was a weird quail, he even bobbed his head like a chicken/quail when walking around. loved that duck
We had a single duck all my childhood her name was Jordan. We had 3 eggs only 1 hatched. We already had chickens so she lived with them( they REALLY liked her no clue why) and we coulnt find anyone to take her that didnt want to eat her. We did get duck friends for her at one point but she didnt like them and would run to our rooster. The other ducks eventually got snatched by a fox i belive but jordan hung around till we gave the chickens away, she obvuosly went with them. As far as i know they lived in a free rang area the rest of their life. That or they got eaten
Thank you for the info. So many people get animals thinking “how hard can this be?” Not thinking , Not learning about the animal. They are just thinking “ I want one “
Ducks are great. Geese are the spawn of hell, though. Its like the difference between a honeybee and a wasp. "No more bread? You didnt bring any more bread... LOOKS LIKE MEATS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!"
I see this a lot to. I used to do all but buying one. I've always know that no bird should be alone. But I've learned well, and I do everything right and all my ducks live long happy lives. Butter, my hen, is almost 8!
I made the duck/chicken feed mistake when I first got my girls (aka an ag teacher heard I had chickens at 16 and threw 4 baby ducks at me like HERE). They did pretty well over all, but of course they were also free roaming which I’m sure helped a lot. their plumage and laying got much more productive when I finally learned duck feed was a thing though. Girls went from an egg every other day to almost out producing my six buff Orpingtons! And their eggs were way better to cook with too!
my neighbor has this fenced off area with a roof for his ducks. what I like about it is that it has wire on the ground outside of it to keep predators from digging.
I had two wild Mallard ducklings one summer, mother was killed by a fox. Rather than watch them die I took em in until they reached full plumage and I ensured they could loft by themselves. they never got fully used to me as they'd always stay as far away as they could when I showed up to feed them. The mistake I made is all I fed them was a mixture of millet, cracked corn, and meal worms.
@Thoroughly Wet...at least you made an effort... birds are very smart and observant... don't be surprised if they leave you some token of thanks... they will do that.❤
Whoa I did not know that you can't buy just one duck! Thats actually really interesting. I had about a set of 3 ducks,a couple days later my dad saw a little lone black duck that was separated from all the other ducks at the store. He bought just that one duck and brought him to me. My other 3 ducks accepted him right away, but he bought just one! So interesting. I wonder if he had to explain that he'd have a family
If you have a single duck you are obligated to treat it like Seducktive treats his pet duck and as you can see on youtube, that's probably more than you can do for it xD So just get three.
I love how they are swimming in a watermelon
It's adorable!

honestly ducks have to swim to digest and they frequently eat while swimming so its a win win haha

Also wotks with adults I'm pretty sure
You gotta carry them like a football?

Y’all are weird. Those duck survive without human interference living on bugs and nature.
@@ceelothatmane9421 No wild duck eats only mealworms. Their natural diet is varied, they eat lots of vegetation, not just bugs.
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.

As a duck owner myself, you can find chicken and duck food, so they both can eat, live and eat together
I have to feed my ducks and chickens separately. Ducks are bullies and can handle each other. Chickens have manners.
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's called all flock and you can feed it to most birds I think

Its only a problem if you plan to release the duck into the wild later on because it will lack the necessary social skills with other ducks.
You know.. You'd think with how difficult it is the US to get a single duck, they'd realize maybe they're doing something wrong-
I reallyyy want ducks, my grandpa used to have one when he was a kid and they were inseparable so he’s always wanted to get me some. I’m hoping that next year I’ll have the proper space for them.
