Lily, you don't vaccinate ducks for the flu. roll.png

Tbbys, stick with the advice you are getting from Amiga and Oregon Blues. Solid, sound advice from two who have kept ducks long enough to know.

Congratulations, it's a boy!!!

 

What a relief!  

 

I have read of some vaccines, for duck virus hepatitis, enteritis, and Riemerella anatipestifer on the Cornell University Veterinary pages.  They have a duck research lab on Long Island, I believe.

 

These are recommended for large scale breeders.  Most of us are not, as CelticOaksFarm explained, expected to get the vaccinations.

Nine beautiful Runners, four beautiful Buffs, thousands of beautiful memories and counting.

 

Looking for ducks?  Please consider adopting rescued ducks.  There are many places and people who do rescues, but we are not allowed to post the links due to BYC regs.  So fire up your web browsers and find some sweet, grateful duckies.

I was going to say he is probably a boy.  My female has a loud quack, my males sound like they have asthma.  It's so funny to listen to them.  My lady, I can hear her from a mile away.  The boys whisper - go figure!

 Thanks all for the input here. I'm glad to be able to "rest easy". I never even thought about it being just because he's a boy!!! I've never had ducks before so I'm definitely learning as I go. Like I said, he's perfectly healthy other than sounding asthmatic so I'm going to stop worrying about it. They're so much fun though. I love watching my babies roam the yard and play. They're darling and always make me smile.
