    Could things get any worse?! Frozen Wing/Feet, dehydration, and lice/mites

    Thank you for the input. He is more active today and seems to be taking a step in the right direction. I tried some sugar in the water and he drank some but not a lot (still an improvement though). I have started treating him for lice and many dead ones have fallen off of him (good sign that...

    Could things get any worse?! Frozen Wing/Feet, dehydration, and lice/mites

    I hatched some eggs back in August resulting in a single chick due to a massive temperature spike.

    Is my new duck a male or female?

    Thanks DucksAndGardens! When I picked her up I was told it was a male but as my mom and i spent more time with our new addition we both said she looks like a female. We originally got her because we wanted a male as we no longer had one (our neighbors dog killed several of our chickens...
