    My ducks are laying eggs IN the pond

    Hi there! Yes, I know that this post is over 7 years old... but I ran accross it and want to add some of my thoughts for others who may also run accross it. So with that thought in mind... I'm able to herd my ducks into their enclosure by walking behind them and using only my arms. If I...

    Rash/scaling on my drake Pekins bill

    Hi, I have never seen anything like this before... I've been away from my birds for several weeks. We have a live in, hired hand who cares for my birds when we're away... I thought he did a good job, but now I wonder if he has always been lazy and just makes everything look good by the day we...

    Dogs are killing my ducks and chickens. How do I safely repel them? Ultra sonic?

    Can't you pen your birds at night?

    Sneezing ducklings- should I be concerned?

    Yes, of course and I do understand that is important. They didn't seem to be sick at all. It truly seems to be sneezing similar to that of a mild allergy. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced having ducks with allergies? I decided to buy alfalfa from a different supplier to find out if...

    Sneezing ducklings- should I be concerned?

    Hey there... my babies, Miracle and Summit are about a week old now and yesterday I noticed Miracle sneezed a couple times. Now today Summit is sneezing too and so far they both sneeze fairly frequently. Should I be concerned? I've heard that respiratory illness can be somewhat serious. Is...

    Sticky chick. Stuck in egg.

    Sorry for the late reply. We found out that our landlady is selling our house and it's been a little overwhelming trying to figure out what we're going to do. It won't be easy to find a new place that will let us have a cat, 2 dogs, a silkie rooster, a full grown white Pekin and 2 ducklings...

    HELP MY DUCKLING

    It's really a gut instinct kind of thing... I'd check every 20 min. If there's no change after an hour check in another hour. Still no change? Check in the morning and be prepared for a trip to the vet if it is alive and paralyzed the poor thing will need humane aide that a veterinarian can...

    What do you think? And if so, what do I do?

    Sticky chick. Stuck in egg.

    So, the duckling is breathing, just barely. It looks as though his nostrils may be clogged?

    This is the first little one... the only one to hatch normally.

    Sticky chick. Stuck in egg.

    The first one hatched perfectly. Then there's egg #4... no sign of pipping... so finally candled it a few minutes ago... can see beak, and feathers... no movement other than some fluid inside...?

    Sticky chick. Stuck in egg.

    So it had pipped a hole early yesterday... then almost 12 hours later it still had eggshell stuck to its bill and it was stuck there so it couldn't move. I removed the piece of shell carefully... it seemed to be doing better. There was movement and all that until an hour ago. There still had not...
