    Coop Door Frozen Shut - Any Tips?

    My duck coop run door is completely frozen shut. I can only access them from the coop house door. Any tips on short term solutions, e.g. thawing ice, and long term solutions, e.g. changing duck coop door design? Average temps have been 20-30°.

    Discolored Egg - Customer Concern

    One of my duck egg customers just sent a picture of these eggs and wants me to give him a call. I personally might toss the greenish looking one (because I have plenty of eggs) but upon looking it up online it seems to not be a problem. What can I tell the customer? Is a yolk that color...

    HELP! Duckling can't walk, no balance, had injury.

    Unfortunately, she did not improve and later died. I hope you will have better success.

    Duckling Bloated Stomach - Critical Condition

    I have a 10 day old duckling who is suffering from a bloated stomach. First noticed this yesterday and did research on it and didn’t find much on it besides ascites which said to be incurable and fatal. This morning I checked her again and her stomach is bigger and she is breathing very...

    Day Old Duckling - Crooked Neck

    This duckling just hatched yesterday. It pipped in the side of the shell, not anywhere near the air sac. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. Because it was piping in the wrong location it needed a little bit of assistance to hatch. It been born about 16 hours. It’s been flipping over...

    Pekin Duck Suddenly Can't Walk

    Unfortunately, we don’t have an avian vet in the area. She is not flying out of a pool, rather the shore of the pond which would not likely lead to injury. And she was like this much before I started letting her out. In fact, she will typically swim to shore so I can pick her up, she doesn’t...

    Pekin Duck Suddenly Can't Walk

    Update: it’s been 3 weeks and she still is not able to walk. We’ve been giving her vit b complex as recommended from TSC as well as nutritional yeast sprinkled on her food. There was a little bit of improvement but then it stopped. She is always in a different spot in coop when I go out there in...

    Pekin Duck Suddenly Can't Walk

    She is 3 years old. She eats half n half of Purina duck feed and Producer’s Pride. Is this liquid B at TSC the right thing? https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rooster-booster-sheep-goat-b12-liquid-16-oz-50302

    Pekin Duck Suddenly Can't Walk

    Our Pekin duck has abruptly stopped being able to walk or stand. We first noticed yesterday morning. I checked her for bumble foot, for any cuts or injuries, for any lumps in stomach, and didn't find anything wrong. I massaged her belly and didn't find any eggs lodged. Video of her on ground...

    Duck Repellent - Trying to Protect Ducks

    I’ve had ducks for years and only this summer have they decided the grass is greener on the other side of the road. I’m looking for a safe and harmless way to keep them in the yard and prevent them from crossing the road. I tried keeping them in the coop for awhile because sometimes that helps...
