Thankyou ✨

Hello! So we started tube feeding her today and she seems to be doing alright. But we have been trying to think of what her problem really is. And we thought maybe it could be a parasite? We were thinking of maybe getting some dewormers? Do you know any good ones? And would it be ok to give to...

Do I have to tube feed for the rooster booster too? How should I give that to her?

I’m so sorry to ask so manny questions! But I just saw a video of someone tube feed and they put a tube all the way down the ducks throat into the crop before injecting it. Is is this what I will have to do?!

So I looked at my tractor supply and they don’t sell Kaytee, can I use the feed we use now?(layer feed) or is there somthing else I should look for?

Thankyou! So I gave her a warm bath with the Epsom salt and coconut oil, but now the oil hardened on her feathers, and she is cold. Did I do something wrong?! Will she be okay.

And Thankyou so much guys for taking your time to chat with me and help it’s so appreciated!!:D

Oh that’s good to know, so we mix the oystershells and grit all in with the feed, and we have done this for the hole time we have had ducks, do you think if we separate them they would adjust and start eating them separately?

Okay Thankyou! I’ll start with this:)

Mm yeah I don’t think her body looks abnormal because it’s been like that for maybe a year and a half. I think maybe the last time she layed an egg was last summer, but she layed a membrane egg two weeks ago. Oh man, okay good to know. I feel like it’s so hard to know what to do because I...

Oh okay, Mm yeah I think I might be constipation, but I’m can’t be sure. Do you think the things like rooster booster and liquid calcium would still be beneficial if it’s constipation and not egg bound?

Yeah same, I never really new they could get constipated.

This is her, she is a Buff Duck and I don’t think she stands abnormally tall? Her feathers have been fluffed all day, it’s in the 40 Fahrenheit so I don’t think it’s because of weather?

Is there specific ratios I should follow for epsom salt to water? For the bath

Okay we were thinking a warm bath would be good to, Thankyou

I felt her crop, it doesn’t feel like there is anything in it, feels empty. Her stomach area hangs low but it’s been like that for a good while now, I assumed it was because of age, and it’s not hard it’s soft

Thankyou! Okay I’ll go check now and get back to you.

We only have female ducks, and yes we do mix the grit with the feed, is that bad? That’s was we have done the whole time we have had ducks

Oh okay Thankyou, is the liquid calcium better than the solid? Also someone mentioned it might be constipation, do you think this could be a possibility? Ok ill definitely get on the tube feeding is there somewhere I can go with instructions on how to tube feed? Okay roger! Thankyou so much! Do...

Clare is almost 6 years old. We give them them Nutrena Layer pellets, with grit, crushed oyster shells, mealworms and brewers yeast (with garlic and Niecin.) the calcium we give them is Calcium Citrate +D3 Petites. We crushed them and fed it to them with mealworms. We just give them one tablet a...
