    Screeching Female Duck

    I have two female Pekin ducks and one has started quacking loudly, almost a screech, that is threatening to drive my husband and my neighbors bonkers! I live right in the center of San Francisco and while one is very quiet, the other is a screecher! What can I do to stop this? I feed them...

    please tell me what I should do for Bumblefoot that is swollen and hot but not something that I could pull a scab off . I am soaking it and wrapping it but there is no scab to pull off.

    I recently had to put my Peaches and Mr.Pickles down and I am heartbroken! I don't know exactly how old they were, but Mr. Pickles was blind but he followed Peaches around the garden and she led him always back to the duck house area.

    Pekin duck limp from jumping out of swimming pool

    Thank you for your suggestion. Trouble is I've gotten a bit fond of this little duck...but you are right that I have to protect Peaches and as he grows, his amorous assaults on her are only going to increase!

    Pekin duck limp from jumping out of swimming pool

    Pekin duck limp from jumping out of swimming pool

    She is super lightweight so I guess that she has not been well fed other than what they gave her at the Napa HS. No bumblefoot as one footpad was slightly burned but is healing well.

    Pekin duck limp from jumping out of swimming pool

    I cant post a video because this happened this a.m. As for her age she has not started laying eggs, so my guess is she was a spring 2020 duckling and may be 5-6 mos. old. She was rescued by the Napa County rescue along with a goat and the sweetest young pig. What is Angel wing and can it be...

    Bedding for ducks?

    I have a Pekin duck called Mr. Pickles who has recurring eye infections. What can anyone suggest that might provide good bedding and not contribute to this eye infection problem? I have used wood shavings, and I have used hay. Any other suggestions? Please help!

    Mites On Ducks?

    I had my male Pekin duck, Mr. Pickles, to the Avian vet to check his eyes. All very healthy! However, the vet assistant noticed a mite in his feathers. Are mites a problem with your ducks? And if so, how do you get rid of them?
