Help!! How do I introduce new ducks to old ones?
Hello. I have 5 khaki campbells that are about 18 weeks old, 4 boys and 1 girl. I had got them at the local Tractor Supply, so I didn't know what sex I was getting. Once they got older I was able to tell I had too many males, so I ordered 6 Welsh Harlequin females through a hatchery. They are... -
Help!! My duck has a cloudy spot on her eye.
Do you know where I can get the ointment? If it is a cataract will she eventually go blind in that eye? It's on the iris and underneath. Not on the actually pupil yet. -
The Duck Thread
Thank you. If it is a cataract is there anything that can be done? I definitely will keep her even if she is blind but if there is anything I can do I definitely want to help her. The bluish color is on and below the iris, so it's not on the pupil yet. But I'm assuming it will probably spread. -

I noticed today that my duckling, who will be a week old tomorrow, has a cloudy, blue spot on her eye. I'm not sure what to do. I'm worried she might be going blind. She isn't showing any discomfort or sickness. What is your opinion? Is there anything I can do for her? I have a picture but can't... -
Help!! My duck has a cloudy spot on her eye.
My duckling has a bluish cloudy spot on her eye. She will be a week old tomorrow. Any ideas what it is? She isn't showing signs of sickness or acting like it is bothering her. Could she be going blind in that eye? Is there anything I can do? I have a picture but can't upload it for some reason. -
Please help me!! My ducklings are terrified of me!!
Thank you so much. I really hope that's what it is. She seems fine in every other way, just can't run around as long as the others. I'll start getting them outside more to run and make sure to keep having them swim. They actually don't eat all the food in one sitting surprisingly. I'll keep a... -
Please help me!! My ducklings are terrified of me!!
I feed it all at once. Now that they are getting bigger they don't really get to run around much in their inside pen. I just started taking them outside since it's just now warming up where I live. And we are building them a pen to live in next weekend with a big run. But they haven't really... -
Please help me!! My ducklings are terrified of me!!
Thank you. I really appreciate all the information. I am giving them about 4 to 5 cups of food per day for them all the eat. I have not started restricting food yet, but I know I need to start taking it away at night. I did kind of wonder if her body is to big for her legs. Their bodies have... -
Please help me!! My ducklings are terrified of me!!
Thank you for all of the information!! I really appreciate it. I don't think I can get her to a vet, so I would like to try the oregano. How would I give that to her. Does she need to be seperated? I'm going to go get them so probitics in the morning. I used non flush free niacin but I didn't... -

Yes you did. I wasn't sure if I could get antibiotics for her at the store and put it in the water. Would that be safe for all of them to drink? -

Hi!! I am a new duck mother. I have 5 Khaki Campbell ducklings that are around 6 weeks old. I have been having a problem with a couple of them not being able to stand for long periods of time. I gave them niacin in their water around 4 weeks, when I noticed the issue. After about a week I... -
Please help me!! My ducklings are terrified of me!!
Thank you so much. That sounds exactly like what I have been doing, and I haven't been able to figure out why they still don't like me. I feel much better now and more hopefully they will warm up to me. I had another question for both of you about leg issues. I have been having a problem with a... -
Help. My duckling is having leg problems!!
I didn't think of that. Can I go to the store and get antibiotics for her without having to go to the vet? And if so is it safe for all of them to have it if I put it in their water or do I need to separate her? I did give them Sav-A-Chick twice last week. -
Please help me!! My ducklings are terrified of me!!
Thank you so much. That makes me feel a lot better and gives me hope. I will definitely make sure I have treats with me every time I interact with them. I hope the older they get they will realize I'm not here to hurt them. -
Please help me!! My ducklings are terrified of me!!
I need advice. I have 5 Khaki Campbell ducklings. They around 6 weeks old and I can't get them to warm up to me. I have had them since they were a few days old. I don't know what to do. The only time they like me is when I have treats. They live in the house, out in our breezeway, so they hear...
