Apparently vet said goose was ok.

Have 2 Saxony ducks with standard colorations. Two of their off springs are pure white, like pekins . Can find no pics online of white Saxonys. If anyone has Saxony ducks, is this normal? Could the white male possibly throw a standard looking chick or only white?

Friend has a young goose that has started acting slow, off balance and holding his head down. He has a different look in breast area too. He eats,drinks, and swims ok. Only bird doctor in town has emergency appointments a week out! Any ideas on what is going on with goose?

The memo just named The West Coast, so you should be ok. sl

I had one customer whose husband claimed he got bad eggs, as he got sick when he ate them (thought it didn't bother him in baked goods). No one else in the family was getting sick, so I quizzed the wife and found that he was eating his eggs "over easy". No farm egg should be eaten 'over...

I had a male and 5 females. My male was crazy about his one duck, and I had to separate them. He would actually go running up to her and jump on every chance he got. I would fight to remove him off her constantly, so she could have some peace. When spring of last year came he became...

Magpies are considered light weight and Pekins heavy weight. You'd probably have better luck with breeding your Pekins to your Muscovy. Both the Magpie and Pekin are from the Mallard family, while the Muscovey is from a different family of ducks. So you could well end up with males that are...

I've seen adds on line (especially from England where duck eggs are popular) for various poultry wormers. You could also call a vets office or ask at your local feed store.

Thanks for the response. Perhaps he developed an allergic reaction, hard to tell. I know one thing, he doesn't eat runny eggs anymore. I found a new outlet for my eggs, a local animal rehabilitation facility. They were overjoyed to get the 3 dozen eggs I gave them and will look forward to...

I have been giving a friend duck eggs for a few months and just last week her husband got very ill after eating them. I was shocked, as I've been eating duck eggs for 7 years with no ill effects. But apparently he was eating them 'over easy' with a runny yolk. My sister, who has had...

I always seem to have problems with callous bumps bothering my ducks. I do spray my ducks with Vetericyn as a weekly maintenance and use triple antibiotic cream after. This has seemed to reduce the issue. The soaking (especially if you have more then one duck limping) can be tedious, but it...

I have one duck that I know goes broody. She is in a pen with 3 other females who are also laying. I have several nest boxes but they all seem to wait in line to lay in the same box! If I don't separate her, what are the chances that she will go broody? If a duck went broody once, is it...

Thanks for clarifying the sustained period.

I looked this up in "Domestic Duck Production, Science and Practice." It is very technical and often hard for me to understand, but I believe what they are saying about natural ventilation when in an enclosure 'Heat from birds and fermenting litter increases air temperature, reduces air...

I crossed a small female Runner with a regular size Campbell and the babies have grown up to be more runner looking only stockier like the Campbell. She does not have the Campbell feather markings, instead more like her Runner mother. I don't have a recent picture. Because I know nothing...

Do drakes protect their mates? I didn't know that. My drake has never been in a situation where I could observe this? Can a drake have 2 mates if they are always penned together in the PM? My drake is very quite and shy, is it all drakes or just bolder drakes that protect their female(s)? I...

I have an older pekin who is about 6-7 years old. She is quite lame and her feet now turn in a bit so she trips over them. She uses her wings, which are a bit mangled now, and beak on the ground to steady herself after so many steps. /she can get around when she wants to. She stays in one...

My Pekins are big bird, Baby and Mattie. My Runners are Ming, Lucy (Desie passed on), and Lola. My Campbells are Amos, Ming, and Ling. I absolutely adore my gaggle, they are so entertaining.
