Here at the rescue, we are often asked about what is required to care for a domestic duck. 

Q: What kind of environment do ducks need to be healthy and happy?

A: Ducks need a safe and secure environment with access to clean water, shade, shelter, and space to roam and forage. They also need a balanced diet that includes waterfowl feed, greens, and insects.

Q: How much space do ducks need to be happy?

A: Ducks require at least 4 square feet of indoor space and 10-20 square feet of outdoor space per bird, depending on the breed and size. More space is always better.

Q: What kind of shelter do ducks need?

A: Ducks need a shelter that protects them from the elements, including rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. A sturdy coop or barn with good ventilation and a dry, comfortable nesting area is ideal.

Q: How often do ducks need access to water?

A: Ducks need access to clean water at all times for drinking, bathing, and preening. A kiddie pool or pond can provide adequate water for a small flock of ducks.

Q: What should I feed my ducks?

A: Ducks need a balanced diet that includes waterfowl feed, greens, and insects. It is important to avoid feeding them bread, crackers, or other processed foods that can cause digestive problems.

Q: Do ducks need vaccinations or regular check-ups?

A: Ducks do not require vaccinations, but regular check-ups with a veterinarian who specialises in avian health can help identify and treat any health issues before they become serious.

Q: Can ducks be kept with other poultry or livestock?

A: Yes, ducks can be kept with other poultry or livestock as long as they have enough space and are properly supervised. However, it is important to note that ducks mating with chickens, or the other way around can be an issue. Please contact us for advice. 

Q: How can I keep my ducks safe from predators?

A: Ducks are vulnerable to many predators, including foxes, rats, and birds of prey. It is important to provide a secure house or coop and to supervise the ducks when they are outside. Installing motion-activated lights or alarms can also deter predators as well as surrounding your duck's enclosure with electric fencing.
