    Sudden Duck owner needing encouragement

    Thank y’all so much, that makes me feel better. We have chickens, goats and my Dad has cows but this is our first time with Ducks. My husband and I were thinking 4 or 5 ducks so having an instant flock of 12 is a little overwhelming 😂

    That’s mom and babies right after we got them. The male is next to them in a bigger pen with a shallow dish for food and water. I also have a kiddie pool in his pen. I am feeding our chicken layer with scratch mixed in right now.

    We were told that he is a non flying mallard. The mom is a Muscovy duck. Our neighbors have several different kinds living together and told me they should be okay together. I’m really hoping he likes her and his instant family 🤦‍♀️

    This might be long, so Thank you if you read it. We live in a pasture on my parents property. My parents and a neighbor share a pond in the pasture.

He couldn't see anything obvious until about 3...

    Sick chicken, respiratory?

    Thank you for the responses. I started her on Penn G and today is day 3. She seems to be a little better today but now I have 2 other hens with very loose stools. I cleaned out the coop yesterday and I'm putting lime down today. I am keeping them all up for a while just in case it's...

    Sick chicken, respiratory?

    She is an Easter Egg hen ( I think that's what she was called) I think it's more than just age, though. I'm thinking she has something going on infection wise maybe

    Sick chicken, respiratory?

    Hey! I just went outside and found one of my 7 year old hens not walking around well. She has one eye that is crusty and shut, the other eye is fine. She is making a wheezing, gurgling sound. Last week we found an egg that was broken with Black runny stuff inside. It smelled horrible and I'm...
