The Ducks of Providence Field Guide & Shop
Vetted by Science. Approved by the Flock.
Most “duck products” on the market are designed for aesthetics, not anatomy. As a scientist and a duck mom, I’ve made it my mission to separate the marketing fluff from the biological essentials.
In this directory, you will find my highly curated “Must-Haves”, from bio-appropriate nutrition and medical-grade first aid kits to cognitive enrichment and educational literature. Every item on this page is something I personally use with my own flock of eight in North Texas.
By shopping through our vetted partners and affiliate links, you often get exclusive discounts while helping support our ongoing mission to provide evidence-based care resources at no extra cost to you. Learn more
Partnerships Grounded in Excellence
I am highly selective about the brands I choose to represent. At Ducks of Providence, a partnership is only established if a product meets my personal standards for safety, biological appropriateness, and quality. If it isn’t used daily in my own North Texas duck run, it doesn’t make this list. By shopping through these vetted partners, you’re supporting our mission to provide evidence-based resources for duck lovers everywhere.

The Vetted Flock Essentials
At Ducks of Providence, we believe every duck deserves high-quality care. To help you navigate the “clutter” of the pet industry, I’ve curated this list of supplies that I personally trust with my own eight ducks. Use the links and codes below to access my favorite gear at a discount and join us in raising the standard for pet duck wellness.
Pet Duck Guide
This is the BEST book about ducks I have ever had. I can highly recommend it to every duck owner, new or experienced. It is very comprehensive, with pictures and illustrations. It covers all topics related to duck care and keeping ducks. It even has multiple case studies.
Duck First Aid Kit
Whether you’re a dedicated duck parent or just starting out, a well-stocked first aid kit is a must! Don’t wait for an emergency—be proactive and keep your feathered friends safe and healthy. Prepare now and give your ducks the care they deserve!
Kiddie Pool
Ducks love water—it’s in their nature! Providing them with a kiddie pool isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity for their health and happiness. A kiddie pool serves as a mini oasis for your feathered friends, allowing them to engage in their natural behaviors like swimming, splashing, and foraging.
Pet Carrier
Whether you’re taking your duck to the vet, embark on a quacking adventure, or simply need secure transport, a pet carrier is essential. It provides a cozy space for your duck to relax and reduces the risk of injury or escape during transit.
