    Wet Feather?

    I have seen a lot of post on here and on facebook about wet feather and it has me wondering about my duck. I haven’t been able to grab her to feel her feathers yet, but for now I wanted to post a pic and see if she possibly has wet feather or if it’s from the cold. Her feather looks “wet” when I...

    Winter is coming!

    With winter coming I am wondering what everyone’s experience is with coop heaters? I live in southeast MO so it doesn’t get horribly cold or very snowy, but we do get down in the single digits for a few weeks during winter. I know ducks don’t necessarily need heaters because they have a higher...

    New ducks… possibly were abused

    Thank you! My girls never went through molting like this so I was so scared that the man before was abusing them!

    New ducks… possibly were abused

    After the passing of my Rouen, I went and got two new ducks for my 6 month old Blue Swedish. I picked them up yesterday and could immediately tell they were not 14 months old like the guy had told me and if they were 14 months than they were extremely malnourished. The wings on the Rouen look...

    Introducing new adult ducks

    My sweet Rouen passed away yesterday and now I only have one duck. I have a six month old Blue Swedish who just started laying Saturday. It’s only been about 12 hours since her sister passed and so far she’s still acting fine, foraging and chasing butterflies. My question is, how do I...

    HELP!!

    I was giving her a warm bath and was letting her dry and she passed away. She went completely limp and took her last breathe in my hands.

    HELP!!

    Also when she was walking around this morning she had more than a waddle to her, I would describe as her walking like she’s nine months pregnant. She didn’t have a limp or stumble, just more waddle.

    HELP!!

    My ducks just started laying eggs yesterday and today my Rouen is acting weird. Starting from this morning, my Rouen has been distance from her sister. She wouldn’t be right behind her on her butt all day, she would start to sit in random spots and just stay there. I thought this was because she...

    Serious Beak Injury

    Thank you so much Miss Lydia. I have been absolutely devastated for the past day not only for my Rouen, but for her sister too. That article is incredible, I pray my girl has similar results.

    Serious Beak Injury

    Thank you so much. We have been cleaning her beak and when we did today she drank the bath water (not salted) and it was from what we noticed the first time she drank a lot like normal. We wetted her food and she ate a little bit, but not a lot. I have epsom salt at the house right now, is that...

    Thank you! We are medicating it at the moment, but we probably won’t know for a week or two.

    Serious Beak Injury

    My sweet Rouen was attacked by a dog early this afternoon. I saw some post saying to clean her beak and make sure flies stay away from her. Her beak looks worse than what I have seen from other post, she is part of my first flock so I don’t have a lot of experience and I was wondering if someone...
