Magpie ducks
Hey guys, wondering if anyone on here has ducks? My ducks have left their pond area & found their way up to the house sitting at my front door. I went out to walk them back down the driveway & i saw an egg laying in front of the dog kennels (dogs were inside)
Ive tried google etc for info on my feathery friends but getting a bit confused with the lingo as i dont know much about them, getting websites in other countries...
Can anyone help me please how do i take care of an egg? How do i encourage more eggs to be laid? How do i know my ducks are happy & healthy?
Thanks in advance
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
