My babygirl unfortunately passed away last night from egg binding. I'm torn in half, I feel extremely lost and lonely, and like me, so is her partner. :'( he won't stop calling her and it's tearing me apart even more. I cannot see him this way and have decided that he needs a new partner, a new...

Thank you for your response! I bathed her like you said and she seemed to have liked it because she became very active afterwards since she got to relax for a bit. I haven't tried KY but I will have my husband help me! :) thank you lots! She hasn't released anything yet (shell or whatever it...

Could it also be the change in weather? These past few days here in California the weather has been transitioning from summer to fall and it's getting a little colder than usual.. My drake seems to be active tho... Ahh

Am I the only one with this problem?! I google search and all I find is "My duck won't stop pooping!" So I've noticed my female hasn't been very active lately, she just sits or waddles softly as if to not get hurt :( her behind seems to be what's bothering her because she can't poop.. She...

What breed are your ducks? I have two Pekins and the way I was able to tell is usually drakes (males) have a curved feather at the end of their tail. It's feather just sorta curves up, while a hens tail is just straight with no curves... Drakes are also bigger in size and have a thicker neck...

I dont know what it is or how it happens but from what I have read its when ducks/chickens get a new set of feathers? I believe thats whats happening to my Pekin. I have a feeling its my drake because my babygirl's feathers are messed up after an accident (attack) I went to our backyard and the...

My pekin girl sat on her 12 or so eggs for a few weeks but only for about half a day each day. Recently I've noticed she hasn't been sitting on them and I have been smelling a funky "rotten" smell from her coop. I went to check if maybe it was the eggs and turns out it was. Some eggs have a...

Parrot? lol I love my Pekins but theyre not that good inside.... so go with a parrot haha

I wish I liked egg :( My babygirl's been laying for a couple months now and we have nowhere to put the eggs! I do like hard boiled eggs so maybe I'll just try them.

Oh shes a VERY sweet duck! :) I guess she is feeling broody because she still hasnt let me near her these past couple days. Shes sitting on about... 15+ eggs but the problem is we cant be having little ducklings running around right now. Were in a tight spot. BUT I dont want her to be crying or...

First, starting yesterday, or could have been the day before, I caught my babygirl (pekin, this is why its weird) sitting on her eggs in her coop. Usually she cant wait to get out in the mornings to run around and bug us with her cute quacks but for some reason she was just sitting on top of her...

It's normal? Are you are? Because on my other thread others were saying to separate them before it gets ugly and bloody. I can see a bit of blood coming and that's why I'm concerned. With the previous drake we had, they would mate but it never got this bad :( & yeah I understand he need to hold...

So after so many days of my two pekin ducks mating my babygirls neck has become really bad! I couldnt separate them during nights because it was cold out, (splitting their coop in half but one half is caged the other half is enclosed, I would put him in the caged side because her nest is inside...
