Hi all I just noticed a bump on one of my ducks feet and thought it may be bumble foot. She is walking normally and I see no scan or previous trauma to the foot. Should I try expressing it? Or monitor for now? She seems to be acting normally.

Thanks so much for all the info I may just start putting it out now if they feel like they want it

So two of my ducks have what looks like swollen abdomens almost like there is an egg in there. They are only 13 weeks at the moment is it possible they are about to lay?

Hi all I have been researching when to start giving my ducks oyster shell and have not been able to find an answer. I've been reading about when ducks will start laying and I've gathered that it can be anywhere for 14-20 weeks with the smaller breeds on the sooner side. I've got welsh harlequins...

The second one is the one I thought was a male so maybe he is a male. Ill just keep monitoring and hopefully there will be some dead giveaways in their noises.

I got some videos of the two possible males and one of the females. Not sure they actually quacked though.

Hi all, After watching some videos of welshies online I'm concerned I have all male ducks as they do not seem to have the distinctive quacks that I heard in the videos. Right now they are all 12 weeks old, I know to keep an eye out for the curly tail feather as it is a dead give away for a male...

Thank you for your help I definitely will!

Hi thank you for the response he actually stopped doing it, he looked like he was preening but almost like he had a tick and couldn't stop doing it. I ended up giving him a warm bath and he seems to be doing much better is sleeping right now with his three siblings. Was panicked there for a...

My 15 day old duckling who is a male we think is sitting down and keeps moving his head up and down almost like hes trying to groom his chest but hes doing it repetatively like a tick. His tail feather also seem to be up constantly like he is tense. I'm really worried has anyone experienced this?

Hey guys I'm trying to research and find out what foods I could grow to supplement my ducks' diet. I have been researching a lot and really only found things that chickens eat that you can grow. I was going to try some sprouts I have some alfalfa sprouts going right now will they like those? Or...

What type of mulch? Like wood chips? Or some pine bedding?
