    In response to the thread: The Truth Behind Crested Ducks

    It is not my nature to argue the issue here, but let us look at the context of part of what you quoted from Dave...Susceptible does not indicate every duck will have these problems. As I recall saying in another post, I have them but do not really breed them. They are far too busy free ranging...

    Duckling Lame?

    That is awesome!!!! It sounds like we are off to a good start. You just have a special baby that needs a little extra TLC to get going. Are you close to any Tractor supply stores? They have packets of Sav-a-Chick vitamins and electrolytes and probiotic. A three pack of each runs about...

    My Muscovy ducks are dying with no apparent symptoms

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your goose, and I had just commented on the oddity of the males being affected. A viral enteritis could be quite possible. Since the Almighty created 70% of our immune system in our gastrointestinal tract, I would start them all on some vitamins and...

    My Muscovy ducks are dying with no apparent symptoms

    I find it rather interesting that it seems to only be affecting males. I am going to look into that. Strange. Let me see what I can find. January

    Sick ducks? Help! Newbie!

    By the way...so is mine...I need a warm up. See? Me too! What color scovies do you have? I have to go do their barn for them today. You know...make it purty and all. They are all outside playing right now. I will go out and try to get some pictures taken later. Poop duty comes first...

    Sick ducks? Help! Newbie!

    Mine like donkey poop...what can I say? It's what they do, right?LOL is right. Being a retired medic, you are always taught it is better to over treat than under treat. I personally do not agree with that. I do my own microscopic and salmonella testing and study my human, veterinary and...

    Sick ducks? Help! Newbie!

    The verm-x sounds good. I was thinking fenbendazole or ivermectin(which Holderread uses if he treats for parasites). These, of course, are not homeopathic. I would continue the heat therapy via warm water or heating pad with a towel wrapped around it. If they don't mind the massaging of the...

    Look at the transformation

    Miss Lydia got me into the Muscovies. I will take pics of the three P's (Phillip, Priscilla and Phoebe). I like them and Priscilla almost got put down. I am so glad I said, "No...let me take her and work with her." I am sure Priscilla is grateful, too. What a sweet trio. I will have to...

    Muscovy Duck Feeding

    My Great Pyrenees eat the bird food, donkey food, rabbit food, cat food...they don't care. They even eat weeds and hay with the ducks and geese. I am thinking...hey...maybe that is cheaper than what I am buying in dog food. LOL! January

    First Winter with ducks, advice please

    That is so true...the nastier the weather the more my ducks and geese want me to let them out to play in the orchards.

    Duckling Lame?

    Put your baby on some vitamins and electrolytes in the water. In my experience it sometimes takes some babies a bit longer than others to get their sea legs, so to speak. The silky look is not uncommon to me either, especially when I have to brood them outside of the incubator. Some of my...

    Toulouse Geese Thread

    I love you RURU! We have Fescue and Brome growing in Lidonia at the farm. I wanted to make sure it was not only Alfalfa, which I have no use for other than the bunnies like it, but they usually get Bermuda. If you put straw down they get mad and kick it all out and stomp their feet. Spoiled...

    Toulouse Geese Thread

    Okay...the flock is larger. A trio of Muscovies, they were going to put one of the girls down thinking she had a dislocated hip. I said I would take her and she just gave her to me. A week of extra protein and bed rest and then walking with her at her own pace and telling her it was okay to...
