Thanks for asking. She transitioned well and her buddies were happy to see her. Winters are a little rough for her. I look forward to it warming to double digits so i can set up a bath for them all.

Thank you so much!

Yes, they all live in a great duck house but she needed attention that could only be administered indoors. She is doing great now though. Just dont want to shock her system with the transition. Thank you for your reply ☺️

She definitely will and them for her

It is an amazing place. If you visit again lmk and ill introduce you to my girls 😊. Stop by The Genny and ask for Staci. And ty for your reply!

Same question but mine has been inside from 9 degrees for a week getting rehabbed. It is time to return to the coop and 30 degrees for a couple of days. Im concerned about shocking her system and wondering if there is a safe way to transition

I have 6 female ducks that are going into their third winter. One of them has been having balance issues and uses her wings to help steady herself. She eats and drinks normally and follows the rest out into the yard. He poo seems the same as the rest. She does not move around as much as the...

Thank you, they are easy subjects and fun to photograph. We have 1/2 inch hardware cloth over everything so I feel confident that nothing can get at them from outside other than a bear but they don't need to be teased and terrified by this midnight raider. Poor things. Have a blessed day!

Miss Lydia... mystery solved, or at least our best guess. A raccoon was definitely about. There was evidence of that where it tore the plastic off. I think they did it to themselves. I have been doing the deep litter method and their favorite place to hang is under the elevated part of their...

The first is a pic of the three victims. The rest are of each injury. If you view on your phone and zoom in you can get better detail.
