What I didn't mention is that my whole flock has drastically lost weight....they have protruding breastbones...egg production has dropped...they are still eating and drinking, aside from the one I have inside that is finicky...someone suggested worms...Idk What to do...I went and got ivermax...
ok..we'll start at the beginning...my birds have had bald patches for months...they had been pecking at each other...we thought it was due to that...however, we dusted them with de...once...and put it in the places where they like to dust bathe, but never followed up on it...fast forward about 6...
update..my runners have gotten longer wings and can fly very short distances in the pen pammy g! don't know how high they could actually go though or how far... my dogs would kill them if I were to let them out to see!
they were loving them at first...then they started just ignoring them...then I noticed they had the runs...I figure maybe they weren't getting them before and weren't used to them...do they need them for nutritional reasons or it it just a treat for them to have the fruits and veggies?
we are new to this, have had them less than a week...I'm not sure how often and how much fruits and veggies I should be feeding to them..we have 4 of them...I have been giving them zucchini, watermelon, bananas, grapes, romaine, peaches, and pears. I have cut them into small bites. they didn't...
we are to get indian runner ducks this weekend and I have no idea what to feed them...help please?! also if there are any tricks/ tips anyone can give me I would really appreciate it! this will be our first experience with any type of outdoor bird...
