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
Neighbor had pet duck who thought it was a dog. Ate dog food. Lived 7 years. Very beautiful and very healthy. It would bark and play with their yorkie. Went on walks with the Yorkie. They had a pond on their farm with other ducks but he wouldn't go near them. Lived, ate, and slept with Yorkie in the house. Somehow negates everything you just said.
I did not know own every state has laws on purchasing single ducks ...but yessss makes perfect sense!! All species need friends!!!!! ....it is cruel being without.
heavy on the pen part, my ducks were recently slaughtered by a stray fox that came in the pen. i still remember the bloodcurdling screams when my mother found their bodies, but atleast their bodies were saved and we could cremate them. please, if you dont want traumatic memories and ptsd of screaming, reinforce your pen.
Bit dark, but I had to bury the remnants of a duck because a marten got it. Those ducks were really happy to be able to roam around, but yeah…she’s right. Ducks are easy prey, especially domesticated ones. You might even say they’re sitting ducks. …no but seriously, that was sad as hell.
It’s really important to feed all ducks the right diet, doesn’t matter if they’re yours or if they’re wild. It’s sadly not uncommon for wild ducks, who lives in ponds and gets fed bread all the time, to get a disease called angel wings. It’s a horrible disease that’s caused by malnutrition and causes the bones and feathers of the wing to be deformed
I have raised and kept ducks all my life, I have never bought duck feed. If you raise a single duck, they do just fine with the chickens. I free range my ducks through the day and bed them in a coop at night. You must be a hobby farm or just keep them as pets. Any real farmer will shake his head watching this. They need to roam and eat vegetation and bugs. The MOST common mistake is keeping them confined unable to get to grass.
Thankfully the last point doesn't apply to New Zealand, where I live, since aside from Stray Cats and maybe Stoats (I say maybe because they aren't that common in urban areas), there are very few predators, and even those two are unlikely to go for one fully grown.
Duck food is made so nutrient to make your duck not just healthy, but also filled with all the nutrients to make it's meat better. I mean come on, it's not cats or dogs, most of the times they don't get to live more than a year and get killed... If I'd have a duck, I'd just give it food closer to what they eat in nature. That sounds like a right thing to do.
A species appropriate diet is not "duck feed." It would be whole foods, and nothing processed. That's like saying dog, and cat kibble is a species appropriate diet for dogs and cats, which it's not. Animals need real whole foods, and not "feed." It's equivalent of people eating cereal, or chips, with sprayed on supplements, and labeled as "healthy" food.
Wrong: biggest mistake is buying them for Easter and then abandoning them thinking they’ll be fine when they don’t want to take care of their pets anymore
Adult ducks do fine on chicken feed. Don't believe the hype. I've been raising ducks for many years years now. Ducklings should get fed Flock Raiser for the niacin, but as adults, non medicated layer pellets are perfectly healthy for them.
@Epic🏳️🌈 as far as i know they said they read about it but never changed their food. They put fresh veggies in their water and they loved it but my parents never bought duck food
hmmm so how do all the ducks in the wild wilderness surviving for years can get the greedy humanly prossesed "duck food" that those ducks can buy? 🧠😵💫
Didn't know it's illegal to buy a single duck. It's a stupid law. What if you've got let's say, 4 ducks but one dies. You want to replace said duck. No one should be forced into buying 2 ducks, just for the sake of buying 2. TS attempts to require the sale of 4 chicks in one purchase instead of 1 or 2. Why? They're greedy. I buy 2 at a time & no one gave me grief over it.
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.
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…
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 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.
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
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. ❤❤❤
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 ♡
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
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.
I love how they are swimming in a watermelon
It's adorable!
Cute
Quack(I wanna eat that watermelon
honestly ducks have to swim to digest and they frequently eat while swimming so its a win win haha
Isn't it too sugery for them tho?

Mistake #5: Don’t let your duck swim, or it will become lost
It is not illegal to sell a single duck. Certain retailers are prohibited, but most do not follow this rule and it’s never enforced.
