My Muscovy drakes carbuncle on the end of his nose is yellow/orange and is oozing clear yellow discharge if I touch it. Seems fine otherwise. But what could it be?

Hi, a woman from my church asked me to take in 9 wild duck eggs. Her dog wouldn’t leave the nest alone and I was unable to trap mom to move them all safely. So I’ve been incubating the eggs for almost 2 weeks now. I just candled them today and the babies are doing great as far as I can see. Now...

No, they just had baby ducklings so I bought 2! Thank you (:

Yes I do see some orangish pink on their bill and their bills are very pale.

I have no idea! I thought maybe Muscovy but they don’t look that much like the ones I’ve seen on google. They’re pure white except the black spots on their heads it’s so weird.

I bought these ducks at tractor supply a few weeks ago. I really don’t know too much about ducks so I’m wondering what breed they are and what gender? How do I tell a male from a female besides their sounds?

So a woman from my church has 10 duck eggs in a nest in her yard, she was fine with it until her dog found the nest and won’t leave it alone. She said momma duck comes every afternoon and sits on them. I am going to attempt to box trap mom and bring her and her eggs to my farm & put her & the...

I usually do use chick feed but I haven’t had time to go to tractor supply so I thought they would be okay but I was wrong! I’m going to TRactor Supply now. I have her in the same bin as the other 5 chicks but she is in her own area blocked off.

I had no idea!!!!! Is here anything I can do? Ugh I wish I knew that !!!! I just gave her some home made electrolyte mix. It was water, sugar, baking soda, salt. Just a very little bit. I’m hoping she can recover!!!!

I meant layer feed

So I hatched out 7 peeps, 2 of which were silkies. Yesterday, everyone was totally fine and good then today I come to see that one silkie peep is dead and the other is acting so strange. Like looks like she/he is dying.. doesn’t want to eat or drink or move. No injuries that I can see and if you...

Oh good lol I was nervous. But where can I get the nutridrench? I feel so bad for her. I did make a sling with some zip ties and an old t shirt and she has food and water infront of her.
