ANOTHER bumblefoot post- sorry! Midge, my rescue Pekin, has had a couple of epsom salt soaks the past couple of days after noticing a scab on her foot. I've been through this before so I'm confident with how to treat bumblefoot, but upon removing the scab, there doesn't seem to be any sign of...

I have a 1 year old Pekin who has been through quite a lot this summer. She had a severe case of bumblefoot and after months of treatment and isolation, I finally felt comfortable reintroducing her to the flock and living outdoors. This was maybe two weeks ago. She was moving slower than the...

Hi all! I've been treating a pretty severe case of bumblefoot at home and have made some really optimistic progress. Today, I finally got a big scab and attached bumblefoot plug removed, which I've been slowly trying to achieve for a couple of weeks. I removed what was attached to the scab and...

Hi there! My two girls Penny (Pekin) and Waffles (Indian Runner) surprised me with their first egg this morning! We're not sure who it belongs to, but we suspect the runner because it was just plopped next to their water bowl. They've been eating Mazuri Waterfowl Maintenance feed, but I was...

Hi there! New duck mom here. I have two ducklings that are now a week old, a Pekin and Indian Runner. My Pekin (Penny) seems to have a larger crop, that looks more swollen on her right side. I've read through many forums here on the issue and there seems to be conflicting advice with how to...
