As ever Miss Lydia, you are a comfort and support

Thank you, missing my dogs and ducks so much, however, ducks all went to a wildfowl sanctuary, and although they won't be as pampered as with me they are all safe and sound

Hi all, It's been a while since I posted. Last November, I had a house fire in which I lost my two beautiful dogs and 1 duck (who was inside in the bathroom recuperating from an injury). Needless to say my heart is totally broken,. I had to rehome my other 12 ducks which I had hatched and...

Hi, I have used something very similar, although not as extravagant for my ducks here in the UK. It enables me to confine them during the daytime to the back of my garden, but then I do make sure that they are secured in the shed during the night. The pen has been standing for 2 years with no...

Hi Isaac - my goodness you';re such a fabulous source of knowledge and help. Jemima is a Aylesbury so not a large duck so I don't believe it's a nutritional deficiency and I ensure all my ducks have a very balanced and nutritional diet. My gut tells me it's some kind of sprain maybe caused from...

I have a similar situation in that my duck Jemima started limping about 7 weeks ago. I noticed this very quickly and kept her separated and in my bathroom for about a week. Whilst inside, I soaked and inspected her leg/foot thoroughly and I couldn't detect any sign of breaks or bumblefoot. Her...

Whilst I fully agree with all of the above and would never abandon any animal/bird -I do find myself in a worrying situation at the moment as my last hatch of 6 eggs bore 5 males and only 1 female. I'm trying to rehome 2/3 of my absolutely gorgeous males but am having no such luck at present...

I have 2 welsh magpie ducks aged 20 weeks in need of a good home with lots of love and care. Theses ducks have been hatched by myself and hand reared. Only need to rehome as hatched 5 males out of 6 eggs! I am based in Suffolk in the UK. I will be really sad to let these go but now have way too...

Hi, I had a similar liner for my duck pond and experienced the same thing. Multiple holes/tears where they were scrambling to get out of the pond. Anyhow, I bit the bullet and bought 0.75mm thick pvc liner mainly because it was more affordable than butyl or rubber (which is the best if you have...

Hi Isaac, o Ordered from Amazon but will not arrive for about 4-5 days. In the meantime, I thought I'd let you know that after quite a few warm baths and lots and lots of splashing and grooming, Jemima is not so bad now with the lice. She's still in bathtub isolated from the rest of the flock...

Absolutely agree with Texag87 - I put a little chopped lettuce and some mealworms in a waterbowl in duck house and they literally knock me down to get inside in the evening. Also slow, calm movements whilst talking gently to them helps. I always say "time for bed duckies then the mad rush for...

I have a similar issue in that in my latch hatch I got 5 boys and one girl (what are the odds!) These 15 week old ducklings are now altogether with my 6 older girls and 1 drake. Which means I have 6 drakes and 7 girlies. There is the odd harmless squable but nothing serious yet. I may wait till...

Thanks - will order from Amazon

Hi Isaac, thank you so much for your speedy reply, however, I'm 100% positive it's not mites but lice that she has. I'll try to post a pic of her limp asap but she's in the bath at the moment getting some R&R

Hi All, Well I noticed a few days ago that my Aylesbury Jemima had a slight limp. I picked her up to inspect legs for bumblefoot/breaks/sprains and couldn't see anything alarming. This morning she is limping much worse so I brought her in to the bathtub and let her have a nice warm bath and...
