I'm just posting an update in case anyone has this issue. Sadly Waffles passed away in her sleep. I firmly think she had some genetic problems. I treated Waffles with extra niacin from March through the end of April and she never showed any signs of improving. I gave her other vitamins and no...

I've got a duckling who is almost fully feathered who has trouble walking and a pale beak. Video below. She also doesn't stretch her neck out. She hasn't gotten as large as her partner I got with her and her feathers took a lot longer to come in on her stomach. I got her on Valentine's Day. It's...

At this point I've pumped this duck with more niacin suppliments than I've ever done with any duck in all the years I've had ducks. Straight in her mouth so I know she's getting every drop. Absolutely no improvement. Not even a little. I'm ruling out a niacin deficiency at this point. I'd love...

I guess I should ask, if it's not a niacin deficiency what else could it be? If I need to be looking for other treatments for something else I'd like to be doing my research. She's so big now and almost fully feathered except on her underside. She could be out with my flock. I'm putting her...

It's been a month. I've sprinkled the brewers yeast over her food every day so she's getting plenty of it. I started the vitamin B Durvet and I was giving her like 1 ml in her water at night since March 15 but I've now switched to putting it straight in her mouth. I was doing it daily in her...

My husband bought me 2 pekin ducklings from Rural King as a Valentines Day gift and I named them Valentina and Waffles. Valentina is growing exactly as she should but Waffles I'm seeing something I've never experienced. First, her beak is pale. Valentina's is orange but Waffles is pale and kind...

This is a screenshot of the FB duck rescue group. It's great. When I originally posted to rehome my blind boy I had people from different states willing to take him in. When I posted needing help rescuing my duck the second time the help I got was amazing. I had people helping me diagnose and...

The new owner had never dealt with worms before and I'm assuming she's got some personal problems because she had a complete breakdown over the eyeworms. She called me first night and that was when she was freaking out and said she might need to put him to sleep. She was trying to pull the worms...

I can't get pictures unfortunately. It's a long explanation but the duck is mine. He's blind and I owned him and his blind brother for 3 years. His brother died and the remaining brother was super depressed. I used a duck rescue FB group to rehome him with this lady who seemed great and would...

I have one duck who has what looks like eye worms. I thought he had an upper respiratory infection but upon closer inspection he has worms in his eyes and what looks like an egg sack in his nostrils. I don't have a vet anywhere nearby that takes ducks. I'm completely on my own to treat this...

Update: It's now 2022 and it never happened again. Smokey is doing great and this never happened again. She's a healthy, happy duck.

My husband and I found our dream farm and bought it. It's 10 acres with a cute house and barn and a natural stream running through it. So much better than our 1.85 acre home that's all mountain and rock. Next week is the big move and I want to take my 10 pet ducks with me in the least stressful...

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been on here in a while. It's winter now and my girl stopped laying for the winter. She was still laying soft eggs at the end of the summer though. I tried everything. Every tip I could find about soft egg laying I tried and nothing helped. She's nice and...

I have two disabled ducks I need to bring inside for the winter. One is blind in one eye and seems to have permanent wet feather. No matter what he never seems to have waterproof feathers like my normal ducks so if he gets wet he gets soaked. The other duck is his brother and is blind in both...

I tried but my phone didn't have space on it for a video. I deleted stuff but only got the last bit of her laying down and then getting up. She hasn't done it again. I'm keeping an eye on her and she seems fine. I would love to know what happened though. All I can figure is she was biting the...

I was outside today sitting with my ducks just relaxing and enjoying watching them when I saw my 2 year old Black Swedish Smokey struggling in her kiddie pool. At first I thought she was having a seizure and I was afraid she would drown so I picked her up and put her on the ground. She was limp...

Is the picture what you buy at Walmart? That's what pops up when I do a search. Also can you recommend a calcium gluconate brand? I see a lot of different bottles pop up on google shopping. Also, should I separate her out when I feed the calcium citrate or is it okay for me to just put it in the...

Thank you. I"ll look into calcium gluconate or calcium citrate. I don't know anything about either but I haven't tried them so it might be worth getting some.

I haven't tried calcium citrate but now I have something to look into. My duck typically lays her eggs in water. It's her routine when I call the ducks to come to their pen for dinner for her to go to their nearby small pond and lay an egg in the water. I don't think she's having any trouble...
