Can pet ducks be altered (neutered and spayed)?

Question

If not, is there any other way of controlling the population other than collecting eggs?

Answer 1

Hi,

Yes, but it can cost quite a bit of money. Go to or call an avian vet.

Answer 2

I guess its possible need to talk to your vet and see what he/she says or maybe a type food will do the trick like raccoons for rabies they put food out for these guys keeps them from getting the rabies.

Answer 3

Yes they can, but it's expensive.

Answer 4

go to www.backyardchickens.com and search for an answer there. I know you can turn a rooster into a capon (basically neutering it) but I don't know if you can do the same to a drake or not.

Answer 5

For that answer you need to call a avian vet. I am sure that they can do it. A vet charged my aunt a few hundred to spay a female parakeet. She was just feeding it to rich of a diet. They can if you can find the right kind of vet. There are not many of them around. I would like to have some peafowl but I can't find a vet that will cut the voice box for me. There are vets that will perform the operation, just not around me.
