    A few duck questions for a duck newbie

    Oh they are super cute and I have heard they are great fly catchers. And yes I hope you got 2 girls too because my boy is such a butthead. Although they were cute tonight, they knew it was bedtime when I went out there and they got out of their pond and went and got in their bed on their own : )...

    Another new chick, another question

    My little chick did not make it but I thank you both for all your help. With your help/advice I did everything I could for him but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. I have just cried and cried : ( but he did have 12 siblings hatch that are extremely healthy, I just wish I had been able to save...

    Another new chick, another question

    I did give him a little yolk earlier and he seemed to like it. He is not interested in food though. I mushed up some chick feed with electrolyte and dropped a tiny bit into him and he didn't do well with it. H looks worse now actually. Also someone posted about using vetericyn, what do you think...

    Another new chick, another question

    Thank you for the advice! I actually have something similar to vet wrap here but I am wondering how helpful do you think it would be? My chick hatched a day and a half ago and he still has alot of that blob. I can't and will not cull him : ( but I do really want him to survive. Also I have been...

    Another new chick, another question

    I have been giving him half water and half electrolyte in a dropper. He loses his balance when he looks down because of his toes not being straight yet so I was thinking about getting him a nipple type water. But I will work hard on getting regular food into him today. The yolk protrusion seems...

    A few duck questions for a duck newbie

    Well, what I read is a female will quack and a male will not. I don't know how true that is but when mine were 3 months old we chased them and they were mad but only 1 quacked. So we kept a watch out and sure enough the one who quaked was the female. She just started laying eggs this week. The...

    A few duck questions for a duck newbie

    Yes my male is the one who tends to go after my chickens. I think 2 females would have been better. Also my ducks are Pekin ducks and are fine with my full size hens and my bantams are the ones they bully. I just reread your thread and wanted to add that. You of course can always try it out and...

    Another new chick, another question

    The one I bought says do not mix with water but straight electrolyte just seems strong for a tiny chick? I don't know. The navel is looking a tiny bit better, the chick hasn't pooped at all though, at least not that I can tell. Of course he also hasn't eaten either but still seems perky...

    Another new chick, another question

    Ok. I went out, got those things and cleaned the chicks box, it has been alone already so that is good, I cleaned the wound, and mixed some electrolyte solution with water. I wasn't sure if I should dilute it or feed it straight but at least it has a little in it now. Please let me know about...
