Well, we have cracked corn that we give them, but they seem to love honey wheat bread the most. I think they want something green but what can I give them in abundance that is what they want or need. They peck at the corn but even I can tell it's not what they really want. The bread is a filler...

I have a question: A couple of people have brought their ducks to live here at RV Park pond. 1 out of the four is a mallard and the other three (minus the one white one that myteriously disappeared) are big white ducks. For some reason, they are not adapting well. They seem to be moving very...

Hi Amiga, Just an update on Gimpy....She's all better. Running around like her old self. She loved her antibiotic water mixed with nutri-drench and her oatmeal feed blend with grapes and green peas. That's what did it for her. She sat on her eggs for several weeks which gave her the healing...

Her nest is sitting in dead reeds on the pond's edge. I could take one big step and reach over to her albeit very muddy and slippery. The pond is a quarter of a football field if that. And along one side there are reeds which had recently been dead and clumping at the pond's edge forming areas...

Well, today Gimpy is continuing laying on her nest. I have not been able to do anything because she's finally sitting on her nest. All this other time she's been running around or napping under a tree way over there. So I have been somewhat concerned because she's been on her nest now for 3...

I would love to get the full length picture of this duck structure. I'm trying to make one for a lame duck that needs healing for a few weeks along with her nest of 6-8 eggs. I'm hoping that it will give her a place to nest the eggs while healing. Love the idea here - really clever!! Hope you're...

Aureomycin by Manna Pro Is this a good one to use in the case of Gimpy? Wonder if the feed places have antibiotics.

Yea, sorry to any helpful members out there. Didn't mean to exclude but just read another member's dilemma with a lame duck and found Amiga's input helpful. I welcome any and all input. This forum is pretty neat and loving the quick helpers very much. PS: Don't know if the 2 PM limit is due to...

Ok, Amiga. Got your last PM. Will try to work on those things relating to probiotics, electrolytes and vitamins because I believe I have the stuff to do it on hand. I've reached my "daily limit of 2 private messages" for today - geez! Hope you get to see this post to my thread. Thanks again...

Hi, This note is for Amiga, I'm Diana from TX. I'm staying in an RV park where there's a pond and some ducks (6) and one of the females has injured her leg. She's been limping on it for several weeks now. Some days it seemed to get better and other days worse. This morning I noticed her regular...
