dave&sue Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi No sooner than we introduce our ducks, Daisy and Gert to the forum, we lose Daisy. She passed away in the night. We had only had her for 2 years. No signs of injury or ill health. Couple of questions. Is it alright for Gert to live on her own for a while? Is it unusual for ducks to only live 2 years? If we did get another duck for Gert to play with does it have to be the same breed? Thanks Dave & Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear about Daisy . At least it sounds like she didn't suffer, but still very hard to lose a pet. I am sorry though, I know next to nothing about ducks and would hesitate to offer any advice. Have you posted your question on the Practical poultry forum? You're more likely to get a quick answer from there as they have many more experienced duck owners amongst their forum regulars than we do.

Lesley Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Sorry to hear about Daisy - I think 2 years is a bit of a short life, but better short and happy I would wait to make sure that Daisy didn't have anything infectious and once you know Gert is OK then look for another duck, preferably one that is full grown.
