Hello everyone! I have kept indian runner ducks for about 3 years now, i love them, but its a disaster. Ive had a fox get two and then alot of them at one time our another randomly started to lose weight and drop dead. I had a vet do a postmortem on two ducks i hatched that dropped dead at a...

Hello, through the years ive had different genetics. At first i started with a pair and i got ducklings from them which i kept however some of those ducklings died. Then the original duck was take by a fox. I got a new duck after that...then at one stage i swapped my white flock with a fawn...

That's brill thank you! At the minute he is with 4 other runner ducks in a 6x4m garden but should I keep him on his own inside his house during the day to allow him to rest? I have a bottle f vit b for our sheep so I suppose I could give him that. Thank you so much!

Both lets look the same no swelling or discoloration. It seems to be his hip that s cracking. At times he can walk and run fine and then other times he shakes his leg, limps and will lie down and stick it out. I tried him in a pool for 10mins today and he used both legs however when he is made...

Sorry I am unable to do that now but I will do it tommrow in day light. Would it need a splint? He's in now with the other ducks for the night so I'm hoping he lies down and the leg isn't too much of a bother. I never have any luck with these runner ducks! Haha

There is no swelling or discoloration. The leg looks the same as the healthy leg. Thank you for all help it's much appreciated!

I've checked him again and when his leg bends it pops....It's so weird!

I was just out checking my ducks there now and I saw my drake lying down and he wouldnt get up. He's completly g me apart from his right leg. It's either buying him or he can't feel it. I put him the pool and he occasionally paddles with this leg. I didn't do anything harsh just gently bending...

I got 4 new fawn and white Indian runners yesterday. One of the ducks is as light as a feather and is extremely weak. Plus all but one has that wet feather disease I think. I am going to worm them all and give them a vitamin b tonic I have. I have some black strap molasses in their food also...

I just read an article there about a guy whose ducks were attacked by a mink but it wasnt until a postmortem that he found that out. I know many years ago when my granny owned poultry there used to be minks and things that killed them but they havent been around fro a very very long time...

I have a 3 ducks still alive but it is strange that 2 died in one day. Their water basin has been topped up with fresh water everyday and for the past week instead of letting them out into the big lush grass garden i have just kept them in their small garden as i havnt had time these nights to...

I have sent both ducks to a vet who is going to do a post mortum and hopefully find out what happened. Its really strange as the enclosure theyre in has absolutely no dangerous things in it

the ducklings are on a duckling mix from my feed store. None of the meal i get is medicated either. Its also warm weather here at the moment, not really warm just a nice temperature

Its different type of meal where i live but its its bascially just duck food but also called layers pellets

Duck layers meal which is high in vitamins and minerals

I came home today to find two of my one year old Indian runner ducks dead. This is so unexpected!! They were absolutely fine yesterday. Just like always I put them in last night and I think they all ate their food. They have been kept in their small enclosure so week and so I don't see how...
