Oh wow, I didn't know that. Here I thought he was getting heaps of nutrition. Thank you very much for the info! I'll be looking into finding some more suitable feed for him.

Thank you for your reply! Yes, we are in autumn and we have been feeding him chicken feed with the vitamins that would boost egg production for chickens (but we figured it would be nutritious for Bubby to eat). With the oregano, is this to feed to him? If so, I may just give him a small...

Hi all, My duck, Bubby is now six years old going on seven. He's a white pekin duck. If you click here you can see that Bubby had been attacked by a fox a few years ago. The fox bites had left a nasty mark in both of Bubby's legs, but with a lot of treatment and care he was back to walking...

but the feathers where found really far from the cage??

Hi guys, A friend of mine has some chickens and the other day she found one featherless and dead in its cage. On the other side of the yard was a pile of its feathers (fairly big yard so it was pretty far from the cage, maybe 100m?) There were no puncture wounds and no blood? Its...

Ah... well i think its just a tad strange cause usually he would try to "do it" on my family but now hes just running away and keeping his distance... he has never done this before....

I have put a mirror in his enclosure but i have also noticed that bubby is doing this weird neck thing... i dont know if any of you guys have seen it before but he kinda shakes his neck and i put my hand there and he will shoot his head & neck over my hand. i think its like the equivilant to...

yea he has been fine with my company for his whole life so i dont really think that is an issue... are there any artificial things i could provide that would give him a feeling of company?

his injuries are all completely gone and he was back to normal in no time. he was fine after the attack wounds healed but then it was spring and he kinda tried to mate with everything and now hes just not even going close to anyone and he hangs around this one corner of the back yard. we cant...

Hi all, I dont know whats happening... Bubby (my duck) has just been ignoring me or keeping away from me lately and i have no idea why. Usually when i call him or slap my legs he would come to me but now he just ignores me. when i try to pat him he runs away but if i grab him and pat him etc he...

Wow thanks guys! I will definitely try the pot one and the rope one. roughly how thick was the rope? Thanks!

i was just wondering if there are any house hold items i could use to entertain Bubby, my duck. we have a mirror set up for him and he seems to like that but every time i try to give him a soft toy he freaks out... are there specific duck toys? Thanks!

Well bubby is actually doing really well. He is running and nipping at our feet etc. I've been disintefcting his wounds everyday and they have healed healed up heaps. There is still a tiny hile on each side but since he's been pooping so much mum and dad have kicked him out. He is currently in...

Well guys, thanks for the support! We are keeping him inside much to mums discomfort. Dad says the wound is closing up and we won't need the vet if we keep applyimg alcohol to the wound to prevent further infection. I really would like to go to the vet but dad insists we don't... He is acting...

All the maggots are gone I think... He seems very happy and he's having a bath. :D He's itching the maggot spot xD
