    Prosthetic foot

    So sorry to hear about your rooster. I was wondering if you still had this available or could recommend who you purchased it from. I have a chicken I purchased and she lost her foot. and would really like to get her something. thanks.

    need duck shoes

    MY apologies, I have not forgotten that I want a video, but my duck is playing shy and I cannot figure out which one he is....seems his foot is working better. I will continue to monitor all the feet (I have 20 pekins) and if his issue continues, I will get a video. thank you everyone.

    need duck shoes

    Thank you. , I understand the concern. I have a duck who seems to get bumblefoot often (Mr. Bumble) I treat his foot and wrap it as needed. The reason for the shoe/wrap is to prevent the foot from folding under and possibly causing more damage. But being in snowy cold NY I worry about...

    need duck shoes

    I will attempt to get a video. I have tried a couple times but it seems to be just fine or there were other ducks that would get in the way... thanks for the links.

    need duck shoes

    I worry about trying to make a split of any kind as I don't want snow/ice to get stuck in it causing the foot to get cold. But it is an option I was considering if I could not get some shoes. :) I do provide supplemental niacin once a month for the whole flock (31 ducks, 5 geese, 6 moscovy...

    need duck shoes

    I believe he is probably around 1 year. I think he is one I adopted. As far as I know it has only been a few weeks. I keep a watch on it to ensure it is not staying permanently under. If it is the one male I adopted, it could have been happening a lot longer as she had the ducks on a...

    need duck shoes

    I have a duck who seems to have one of his feet fold under as he walks. does not happen all the time. I have looked at it for bumble foot but have not found anything. I was thinking if I could get some duck shoes (as I remember someone made shoes to see--I think, it has been awile). And my...

    I adopted a handicap Duck!

    I have to agree. they need to bath often in order to keep their feathers waterproof. I have done some reading as I have to two house ducks (one blind and one with a crippled foot) and I put them in the tub when they are in the house (this is their first winter and they are not housed with the...

    surprise ducks help

    I keep my ducks in my chicken coop. I make sure they have cover so they don't get pooped on. I use kiddie pools for their swimming. Use duck feed (has the niacin they need) , since you have females, you will also want to use a layer feed. Since I have ducks, geese, guineas, turkeys and a...

    Incubating duck egg issues in the last days of incubation.

    well the breeding stock are all at least 8months to a year. I have not feed them flock raiser, but they do get layer feed. I have given them some egg shells and will increase more often (or aleast next year) The humity has been between 45 to 55%. and then I try to increase it to around 60...

    Incubating duck egg issues in the last days of incubation.

    So I have had the worst luck this year with hatching duck eggs. They start out beautifully. I have been monitoring the temp and the humidity. I have 1 still air and 2 circulating air. all have egg turners. I have done the candling and monitored the air sack, and movement within the eggs...
