    FL Palm Beach county 3 crested drakes

    Hi, I'm putting my information out now although I don't know if I'll have to give up my babies yet. They are 3 white crested ducks, 4 1/2 years old. They have been free on my back lake and then locked up at night. But an otter has taken up residence in the lake and now they are cooped all the...

    Rehoming question

    Thank you everyone for your input. I can feel a lot more comfortable now when I'm asking questions if I go forward to rehome my boys. I have to say when I looked up the article above and it mentioned dispatching, I wasn't clear on what that meant so I had to look it up. And oh my goodness! Now I...

    Rehoming question

    No, they don't have one and I don't have the ability to provide one. I wouldn't be able to build it, and my HOA wouldn't allow it. In fact it's highly unusual in an HOA that no one is complaining that I have ducks. I guess it's because the people who live on the lake enjoy watching them. My...

    Rehoming question

    Hello everyone, I'm not quite at the point where I need to rehome my ducks yet, so I'm not ready to go directly to the rehoming forum. I just have a couple of questions about what would be acceptable in terms of my needs and wishes. First, I do not want to give up my three ducks. They are...

    Had to let Pinky go

    Last week I had to say goodbye and let my precious Pinky go in peace. I had been posting about my concerns in another thread titled 'strange behavior but no symptoms'. I thought at first he was losing his eyesight but things continued to get worse to where he could no longer walk and he couldn't...

    Strange behavior but no other symptoms

    So the vision exam showed no real problems. Some small cataracts in one eye but not enough to impair his sight drastically. The doctor said I could consider taking him to a neurologist. This I specialist is not necessarily someone who is familiar with ducks, just animals in general. And I feel...

    Strange behavior but no other symptoms

    A quick update but not much to say yet. Took Pinky to the vet she checked his blood and did an x-ray to check and make sure he hadn't gotten a hold of some metal or something that may have been toxic to him and still be in him. No findings and she's referred me to an animal eye specialist. I'm...

    Worms in duck food

    That's a good idea putting grains and flour in the freezer for a few days. I'm in Florida too, and I've never done that. And I have occasionally opened up that box of pasta that had some weevils in it. Ugh! But you're right those 40 lb bags of duck food are difficult to do that with. I've been...

    Worms in duck food

    Yes there are a lot of clumps in the food sticking together with a webbed substance. But I don't notice a smell. I've actually had several issues with the brand too. I've had 2 bags with weevils, I went ahead and gave them that food but still tried to kill as many of the weevils as I could. I...

    Worms in duck food

    Today I found a worm and I'm sure there's more in the Purina duck pellets that I've been feeding my ducks for several weeks now. I noticed the food clumping first but didn't know why. It clumps with sort of a webbing. But today I found an actual live worm. Putting a picture below. I also...

    Strange behavior but no other symptoms

    I just found something else to make this more confusing. I went out to feed the ducks and the feed that I've been giving them I've been noticing clumps and they seem to be clumped with I don't know webbing or something. Well today I started separating another clump and there's a worm. So I've...

    Strange behavior but no other symptoms

    Loved "don't know what I would do if my drake Taffy, would suddenly stop chasing me!" Yeah, my Pinky has always been rather ornery. So when that changes you just know something is off!
