    Bumblefoot?

    I talked to my vet just now and she actually suggested I wait and observe before even doing a premature epsom soak/treatment since it doesn't seem to be affecting my duck at all. So, chickens really, you may be right? I think I may wait a day or two before treating in case it does, as you say...

    Bumblefoot?

    Ok, great! Thank you. I've never wrapped a duck's foot before; do you have any suggestions about techniques or products to use?

    Bumblefoot?

    So do I wait a few days after the first application of iodine or apply the iodine daily? And then just keep it covered until healed?

    Bumblefoot?

    No, she's not limping at all. However, I think it may just be a tad worse this morning.

    Bumblefoot?

    She’s not limping at all! I check them weekly just to be safe but I haven’t seen any issue so far with any of my ducks! I felt the area and it doesn’t seem to be warm or hurting her. I wanted to give her an Epsom soak but as soon as I put her down she went to nest in the coop for the night. I’ll...

    What is the best food for 4-month old ducks/chickens?

    I have chickens and ducks. All are around 4-months old. I’ve been feeding them Purina grower for the last few months with added brewers yeast and was wondering what sort of feed I should switch to for laying chickens and ducks. It’s hard to keep the food separate since they’re in the same...

    4-month old cockerels?

    I can’t tell if these two birds are cockerels or not. I hope this isn’t stupid or just wishful thinking because, as of yet, it really seems they’re both cockerels. I got them as chicks from the PULLET silver laced Wyandotte bin at Tractor Supply, but I know that’s a crap shoot most of the time...

    Limpking 10-week old Swedish duck

    I just went out and checked on her and she's doing alright. Eating, drinking, and, foraging just as normal. What sort of vitamins do you give your ducks?

    Limpking 10-week old Swedish duck

    Thanks for responding! Yes, I've checked her feet out multiple times since the beginning of the week and theres no bumbles or heat. Its her left foot/leg. We give them purina flock raiser with added brewer's yeast. What do you suggest for letting her rest it? She's such an active girl, but we...

    Limpking 10-week old Swedish duck

    Hi all, my duck has been limping for the better part of 5 days. We thought she was getting better yesterday, but this morning when I let them out of the coop she was limping again. I'll be observing her for the rest of the day since none of the vets are open around here on the weekend to see if...

    Help! Young Peking (6-7 wks) walks on the joints/"knee" of his legs

    Hi everyone, some not so good news. When we were at the vet we got an X-ray and found out March's bones have begun to twist, since he's still growing (he's only 4.8lbs but should grow to be around 8 - 12lbs!!!) this potentially poses a lot a problems. The problem can't be corrected and he...

    Help! Young Peking (6-7 wks) walks on the joints/"knee" of his legs

    I was going to try putting it straight in his mouth, the dropper I appreciate the help! Thanks so much. Hopefully this'll help and the appointment at the vet tomorrow will give us some more ideas.
